Yeah. It’s not that I don’t believe people can change their mind and become more liberal -if I thought that I’d have given up on the world some time back- but that it is so easy for her PR person to go “Cait! The fuck did you say? Jeez you screwed the pooch. Just... Let me prep a statement and then you release it...…

Also, not really a bubble of privilege, more like a windowless bunker sealed off from the world if she didn’t know that equal marriage rights are kinda important to gay people. Seriously, how can you miss that?

If you are of the idea that marriage is inherently religious, same-sex marriage may or may not be a hard concept to grasp. It certainly doesn’t follow from that religiosity that it doesn’t make sense for us to want to marry.

Are you kidding me? Marriage is religious, but being trans isn’t “nontraditional”? We need to stop excusing this line of ideology. Religion is not a good excuse to deny people their rights.

Normally I’d say I agree, but I was watching an episode or two of her show the other night (it was a marathon, so I thought I’d see what was up), and it struck me more that she had trouble coming around on those issues not because she was insanely self centered as I thought, but more that it was a psychological way to…

I agree. I think actually the fact that she’s going on this journey as part of the Kardashians, who have this enormous audience and this enormous international reach, is so so good for the community. Using those episodes where they discussed trans issues for POC and what it’s like for the majority of LGBT people who…

Because, like the vast majority of conservatives, she only gives a shit when it actually affects her. This is the Republican Empathy Gap and you see it all the time where people who’ve spent their lives fighting stem-cell research (cuz Jebus!) suddenly support it when a loved one gets Alzheimers (looking at you…

Her handlers probably made her write that. She strikes me as kind of dumb, she couldn’t figure out herself that she can’t speak against gay marriage, on Ellen to boot, if she wants to be the media’s new trans-darling? And I do think she wrote it herself, because an experienced media strategist wouldn’t have written…

Why did it take talking to some gay friends to “get it”? Being a fucking human and realize there are other people in the world who are different than you but still might want to enjoy the things you enjoy. Why is this a hard concept?

Like many people, there was a time when I didn’t realize how important it is for gay couples to have the right to get married....until I realized everyone thought I sounded like kind of a jerk.

If I had to wager a guess, I’d say that she could probably carry one hell of a stimulating financial conversation and is well versed and conversant on a range of topics. What people show the cameras isn’t everything (or even anything at all), who would have thought that Jessica Simpson would be where she is today when…

I have this memory of Bruce Jenner being interviewed after the 1976 Olympics (I think that’s the one with the gold medal). At that time, he made headlines for saying, essentially, that he had won the medals for HIMSELF, well, maybe his country a little bit too, but mostly for his own glory. There was a tiny bit of…

I don’t think this is entirely uncommon. I know a few women who transitioned later in life, white, who had been quite conservative their entire lives and definitely evolved slowly on social issues. A lifetime of trying to fit in with the boys doesn’t suddenly dissolve.

I don’t think you’re grumpy at all. I read her entire post, and I’ll admit that I disagree with Bobby about it being “great.” I think she comes across as an entitled narcissist. As usual.

Yeah. In her blog post, she described learning about being a woman as “fun,” which ... is not exactly how I or many women I know would describe womanhood.

Cailtyn is not progressive at all. I mean even Lance Bass kept speaking about how he felt that Bruce was being homophobic to him. Just because he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body doesn’t mean that he’s into men himself or that he’s comfortable/tolerant with other lifestyles.

I don’t know if I would call Kris Jenner vapid. Like it or not, she’s a mogul and has more than her fair share of smarts and savvy.

I can’t comprehend anyone that has had gender re-assignment surgery saying they believe in “tradition”. She’s been granted a new lease on life thanks to cutting science and technology. After living a life of torture and solitude, how can she possibly be unable to understand that another sector of the population might…

This is EXACTLY what someone else pointed out in the previous article. It was such a DOY moment. The only partners we’ve ever seen her with are women, which means she better get on the marriage equality support train if she ever wants to get hitched again.

Wow. Jenner shows it’s easy being “different” if you live in a bubble of privilege. And call me grumpy but I still think she’s only had a change of heart because Ellen called her out on her wishy-washy opinion.
