If nobody is showing her “mannish mannerisms,” how do you know she has them? Have you met her?

What “activism”? Has she ever donated a penny to the Republican party or Republican candidates? I’ve seen no evidence of it. And since she’s in favor of trans rights, how “conservative” can she really be?

Yes, but (as she’s said repeatedly) Boylan only agreed to participate on the condition that it wouldn’t be like a “reality show” — i.e., scripted and exploitative and interested only in manufactured drama.

Yes, there isn’t anything close to this level of virulence when wealthy non-trans women appear on TV. Selective indignation, much?

She wasn’t on her goddamn cell phone. There’s no evidence of that. None. She was holding a cigarette. People have pointed this out over and over, but you repeat the lie.

She was extraordinarily famous in the 70s, as the “greatest athlete in the world” — who happened to be young, good-looking, an American, and white. (And yes, I’ve heard of Rafer Johnson and Bob Mathias, who won before him.) Decathletes aren’t so famous now because the U.S. hasn’t done particularly well in that sport

When I was a first year law student, I knew a guy who had gone to Texas A&M who used to use large plastic Coke bottles — partly empty — to spit tobacco juice into. When he was done filling them back up, he would shake the bottles to mix the tobacco juice with the Coke, screw the tops back on tightly, and put the

Just remember, please: they weren’t born men; they were born babies. Like everyone. Also, the majority of drag queens don’t identify as women or even as trans.

Faked by Jewish filmmakers, according to people like this. Those are all puppets.

That doesn’t excuse the cover.

I don’t see why they had to have the photo at all. If there were an article about HIV transmission by men having sex with men, would they illustrate it with a stereotypical photo of gay men having sex in the Mine Shaft or the Anvil in 1978?

Being for trans rights — which Jenner clearly is — isn’t a “Republican” value. And she’s not a man, you asshole.

Nobody dropped her. As others are saying, there’s room for more than one trans woman in the public eye at a time. More than two, even — Janet Mock, Candis Cayne, Jenny Boylan and many others have been getting attention. And if anyone envies Caitlyn and thinks she’s insulated from ridicule and transphobia, check her

You’re welcome. If my son had been 3 or 4 instead of 14 at the time, I probably would have wanted him to start thinking of me as his second mom and addressing me as such (at least eventually), but I’m a proponent of letting older children take the lead in deciding what they want to call you (especially in private)

No, that’s a lie. The photo you’re talking about shows her holding a cigarette. Put up or shut up. And afterwards she was on the phone, but she wasn’t driving.

When I told my son (then 14) about my plans to transition, one of the first things he asked me was whether it was OK for him still to call me Dad. Of course I said yes! I was secure enough in my knowledge of who I am to allow him to call me that; it was his name for me, and the least I could do was give him that

And anyone who’s been driving for a number of years and claims that their attention has never wandered for a few moments, and that they have never had to stop suddenly, is lying. Even if they were lucky and nothing bad happened.

And all the people calling her a “murderer” should learn something about the difference between intent, recklessness (as she would have been had she been driving while intoxicated or on the phone or texting), and negligence.

Hormones aren’t exactly expensive. And the percentage of trans people is so small that the total costs per annum for surgical procedures would be less than a drop in the bucket.

I believe — even though it’s all speculation on my part — that the studios did this deliberately, because they were afraid that white Southerners wouldn’t go see any movie that was pro-Union, while most Northerners didn’t care enough one way or the other to deliberately avoid pro-Confederate movies. In kind of the
