And, of course, identity is shaped by so many factors. Caitlyn Jenner now openly identifies as female, but I think her primary identity is “rich person.” Who cares if the Republicans hate her and her choices if they will protect her money?

I hope the OP sees this and finds it helpful because it CAN be confusing. I credit several knowledgeable, passionate (and patient as a saint) Jezzies with helping me to understand all of the nuances of this and become an advocate myself. There is a lot to understand about this, and I say this as someone who took…

Well gender identity and gender biology are two different things and they have been for years. You can thank science for that. You can also thank science that medicine has a very effective way to to change one’s gender biology to match their gender identity.

You’re conflating your inability to understand it with it not being a real thing.

She gave up her male privilege when she transitioned - she might find after a while that she was wrong all along.

This isn’t about you, nor what you want to refer to Caitlyn Jenner as, and I mean this in a genuine tone. Just because you can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not valid, right? You want people to refer to you as you are, why can’t we do the same for everyone else? This is what she has been living with for how many…

It’s understandable how there would be confusion and questions. Perhaps this graphic will help (which I got from here, FYI):

That’s the fascinating part to me...the number of people who think that since, they, personally don’t understand it, it must be weird and the rest of the world shouldn’t be so accepting. As if they are somehow the standard-bearer for what is tolerable.

What do you mean by physically female? Because most of the shit you’re thinking of is legit pretty fucking covered by surgery and hormones.

This is a you problem, not a Caitlyn Jenner problem.

I will now call Bryan Fischer a Jackass Piece of Garbage, because He’s a Jackass Piece of Garbage in every single solitary cell of his body, he will be a Jackass Piece of Garbage until the day that God calls him home. So he’s a Jackass Piece of Garbage in every single cell of his body, so he’s always going to be a…

“My heart, frankly, goes out to Bruce Jenner,” he continued. “I’m not going to call him Caitlyn Jenner because that’s not his name and I’m not going to refer to him as a she. He’s a he. He’s a he in every single solitary cell of his body, he will be until the day that God calls him home. So he’s a male in every…

How do you have a girlfriend for 18 years and then marry someone else so quickly? Not criticizing, just legit curiosity.

I know. Can you say, “rebound”?

seriously. If you’re with someone who wants to get married and you keep them in a holding pattern for 8+ years, that’s just cruel.

oh man I forgot about John Edwards and the fact that he was a thing and god what a fucking wanker that man is.

god dammit, someone at my office is going to hear me laughing, stop it, you.

“he told me the bible says its okay to poop in your hand then eat it but i’m not allowed to read so idk”

Can I just say... it’s like 2 weeks later, and I’m still shocked that it’s InTouch carrying the journalistic water here. But good for them, for real. I know it’s kind of backhanded to say it that way, but I don’t know how to give them a compliment for the truly great work they’re doing here without it sounding…
