Right?! That was the only thing he said that I struggled to accept... you’re a re...re...republican? Why Bruce? Are you sure it’s not just a phase...people experiment with conservatism all the time... but Mitch McConnell?... Those people aren’t your friends. Sweetie no!

If only so many other people had come out sooner.

I coach a Junior Roller Derby team and it’s an intense sport that is growing by the day. We found out a couple weeks ago that a nearby team lost one of their teammates to suicide. The player was trans and was bullied so badly they killed themselves. It’s hit the very…

It’s “Shaktar Donetsk”!!!! Thank you kindly internet sleuth for helping me solve this mystery.

You’re amazing! This has been plaguing me for almost 14 years!!! You (and the internet) are magic!

Thank god Kim was able to remind us that she is married to Kanye and is ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’. This whole ‘life changing’ declaration might almost have been entirely about someone else...that would have been a tragedy. Not the struggling with a body that feels wrong, or a world that often doesn't…

I decided to go back, as when I first went there wasn’t one single “he’s a man, chromosomes, DNA, genes, herp derp” reply.

Rich transpeople still may not wanna pay their taxes.

I never thought Kanye, the man with the ego the size of a small planet, would be the voice of reason and empathy. This managed to raise my opinion of the guy.

I feel like it's even better that he's conservative - they can't point fingers at the weirdos

I just wanted to participate in/witness actual discourse. Not jokes about the Kardashians or dudes who clearly hadn’t watched the interview. Discourse reflecting the fact that an icon of masculinity - an Olympian AND a decathlete - is a transperson. And that this individual is navigating a liminal space in transition,…

I was never really fond of Bruce as a person, but this interview really made me like him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look this happy, this GLOWING. He’s very fortunate that he has a family that is supportive and the resources to help him transition. I respect him so much, especially for using his fame and status…

As a religious dude myself, I always sort of figured that the “made in God’s image” clause was more about our souls rather than our physical bodies. I’m not entirely sure. Oh well. I’ll just live the best life I can, be nice to others, and then if I ever get to meet Him I’ll ask for clarification.

Thank you, Jezebel, for providing a forum to talk about this. I’ve been refreshing Jez all night looking for some alternative to Deadspin.

I am so happy for him. Forty years ago, I was a little girl who wanted to be Bruce Jenner. I wish I had known how much he wanted to be more like me. He embodied strength and endurance, and still will. I am giddy with delight that he is open and getting to be accepted and loved for himself.

Jenner also said he’s a conservative

It made me cry. I’m sure he has brought hope to other transgendered people, that it is possible to achieve what feels so far out of reach. And god help me I actually liked Kris Jenner for a minute, what is even happening?!

I think it's really fucking brave, that's all I have to say.

Nothing outrageous or anything, but I got to see Joe Strummer in 1999 at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. The Clash have been my favorite band for 30 years, and I was never old enough to see them as a kid, so this was huge for me. I stayed after for a few minutes to try and meet him (he always hung out with fans after a…

REM in 2004. It was their tour for their “best of” album. They were taking requests on their website. My husband told them how we listened to Automatic while we were dating and we used to swim at night together...Nightswimming, you know. Anyway, during the show a piano is wheeled out and Michael Stipe says that this…
