It’s hard to decide what’s more frustrating about Bruce Jenner’s decision play-act a woman named Caitlin: that we’re all supposed to ooh and aww over his new feminine face or curvy breasts (that look perkier than most), or that we’re supposed to act like this is at once fantastic and normal, brave and routine.
Unfortunately for Jenner and society, it is neither. This is not only devastating for him, but for our culture—and the fact that few people will view it that way, and this publication will most likely get slammed for saying so, proves the point even more. What’s only slightly worse than the fact that this is news is the fact that this news was inevitable.
Bruce Jenner’s Sad News Day When celebrities make news headlines, viewers assume it’s a slow news day, which isn’t always bad. But we live in a world of a recovering recession, the burgeoning infancy of political campaigns vying for our highest office, instability in the Middle East, and rampant and violent crusades of ISIS. Yet news headlines of the week belong to Jenner’s decision to “become” a woman. (Although he still has male genitalia, soooo…not sure how that works?)
Truly, kudos go to Jenner and his handlers, for they have succeeded in making Mt. Vesuvius out of the tiniest ant hill. They have planned, prepared, hinted, smoothed, and photographed so that what is a sad, misleading (for the children watching) decision appears bold and nuanced, modern and heroic.
This is not a news story. This is not heroism. If you look beyond the pretty dress and pristine makeup Jenner wore on the cover of Vanity Fair a la Jessica Lange back when, and strip him of the headline, he is a man who thought he wanted to be more like a woman,

He’s got breast implants and his original equipment tallywacker. Just like Richard Speck.
Any prestitutes willing to go on record saying how “brave” Richard Speck was?
If Bruce Jenner is a woman then this guy is a cat. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking_Cat
If I wasn’t on a phone I’d try to caption one of his photos with that. Feel free.
It’s a hectic time for Caitlyn, I wonder if he ever has time think about Kim Howe and her family?
As if it takes bravery to be a sexually confused person in a media full of liberal fools who will oooo and ahhhh about his mental disorder.
Bruce is sick.
Brave? Hero? This jackass has lost his mind.
Bruce Jenner, heretofore famous only for being Bruce Jenner, is now more famous than ever for not being Bruce Jenner.
Well said!
Meanwhile, Kim Howe could not be reached for comment.
He’s simply a crackpot.
I wonder if it's even more insidious. That whole Kardasian clan is power-hungry insane. One gets the feeling they'll do ANYTHING to be pandered to by the media as cultural icons, and laugh all the way to the bank.
A civilization that wasn't in the toilet would ignore those creeps.
(Here's an odd fact....Bruce Jenner graduated from Newtown (CT) HS.)
Bruce Jenner is a sad guy. 65 years old and no peace in his life.
Sad day when Bruce Jenner, a great, and admired, athlete and now, a complete douchebag, goes this far.
If he were brave, he would have done this decades ago and done it for himself and not for the TV producers.
More negative cruelty to a fellow human who has dysmorphia between his brain/sense of self and his genitals. He can’t help it. He tried to do it your way for 60 years. He achieved some of the most masculine honors you can get.
There is no good treatment for this condition. The only one offered is to try life as the other gender. It only works 50% of the time (success meaning the person becomes contented).
Why not give the new her a break. Maybe bravery isn’t involved. But at that age, why not give it a try and see if it does the trick, gives satisfaction within one’s skin for the first time in his life?
Transsexuals are nothing more than homosexuals with a mutilation fetish.
I wonder who is sicker-Jenner or the MDs who loaded him up with drugs or performed the mutilating surgeries?
