Strange dude, no doubt

Edit-dude-et?

RKCNDY

Not gonna judge, some people are forced to live a straight life due to religious, family, or social reasons...it sucks, but if that is what makes him/her happy then so be it.

Hobbes

Whew. Kanye is fine with it. Thank Yeezus for that.

Actually, I don't give a fuck what Kanye thinks. (But that's for a yet-to-be-started thread)

Jason P

Who is to say I wouldn't do the same thing if I was perpetually stuck within that clan?

Although, I'd probably opt to live in a treehouse for a few months before going that far.

Wobbie

I'm thinking some other D-lister....maybe David Hasslehoff.....will hook up with the new Bruce.

I'm sorry....I see pathetic publicity stunt.

I'm leaning this way as well.

But, I don't understand the hype associated with it. If you really want to go through this and share it with others beyond your family, your close circle...why not just make a statement or something? I anticipate being bombarded with promos for the interview with Sawyer that's to take place THREE MONTHS from now.

Well, the no-publicity thing was never going to fly. There has been speculation and salacious magazine covers for quite some time. Better to put it out there yourself and control the message than let others control it.

hedonist

Oh, I totally agree. That's why I thought it odd to do some big to-do with all of the pre-publicity, vs. just saying it in his own words.

Amongst the Ani

If this is who he wants to be than more power to him. I'm assuming he's going all the way with this. I don't think even the Kardashian clan would go so far as to have his manhood reverse sausaged and pushed inside him inside out as a publicity stunt. Out wait, they actually might.

He is obviously transgendered and is finally coming out. Good for him. Too bad he didn't do it earlier. He probably would have enjoyed more happiness in life.
I don't think that anything negative should be said about this, since it crosses into the zone of intolerance.
And I definitely don't think it has anything to do with him wanting to stay in the news. He is already a celebrity, and so is family, so obviously he has to speak out about it, and even if he didn't, the fact that he's into being a celebrity has nothing to do with his sexual orientation ... and honestly, it's good for all. It will hopefully further people's understanding of transgendered people, how they arrive to their decisions, etc. I actually find the teasing about it offensive.

The Waiting Trophy Man

Jimmy Kimmel was funny last night. They had a "reporter" go out on the street and ask people what they thought and when they would say something like, "he should do what makes him happy," the reporter would correct them and say "she." And is they said "she" the reporter would correct them with "he." lol

I dunno, maybe so as to not 'shock' the general public? Maybe this is the advice of his manager?

When Chastity Bono changed to Chaz, what happened there? I cannot remember, interview with Babs? Book? She's the only other celebrity transformation I can recall.

hedonist

I think - not sure though - that she'd been living openly as a man (and I'm not sure of the correct term for this) before going through the surgery.

In the end, he's gotta do whatever will bring him peace of mind. Just so strange to me how this, among other things, are spun.

I totally appreciate that viewpoint. I'm actually a pretty tolerant dude.

I've also been made skeptical by all my years (many, huh RKCNDY?) in this world. I'll try to remain open minded, but my very first thought when I heard this was.....publicity.

I don't know much about transgender.....are you born into it or can it develop? Because if Bruce has always been this way, he certainly gave no clues when he was an Olympian. I blame the kardashians.

Truly, pj_soul, I know you're cool....sorry to offend.

I was going to write something similar to this, but I wouldn't do this post justice if I tried!
Let's just let people make their own decisions and try to be happy with themselves. He probably did not do this long ago because he was scared to get the reaction he's currently getting.
