It's amazing how many of you can still be so ignorant/bigoted. Grow the fuck up. Nobody is asking you to be friends with anyone in the LGBT community, just that you accept them for who they are. If that's asking too much, then you can fuck right off and move to Russia where you can be part of an anti-LGBT society.
I have gay friends and they hate the fact that transgender people are grouped in with in. They are born gay. Transgender are born one way then spend a lot of money and time to become something they are not.

I have straight friends and they hate how gay people are being grouped in with them by marriage. Being straight is normal, being gay do nothing to reproduce.
YoungDaphIt's a shame there's already a "L" in the lgbtwgfhdksjshd shit maybe we should add a "z" so lizards can be included in the increasingly PC and inclusive acronym
Haha, Daphne it's less about political correctness and more about awareness that there are people who aren't just straight, male, or female.
In all honesty, there's not a single person I've met who I'd ever want to hang out with who would be a dick in a "ahem, excuse me, but it's actually LGBTQXYZ thank you very much..." sort of way.
In reality, just say the 'queer community' as it's far better than the tired acronym.

What? That's ridiculous... nobody is spending time and money to become something they are not... they are spending time and money to become comfortable with themselves.
...besides, what's it to you guys here? None of these people are bothering anyone. You're just annoyed with the media who keeps creating storylines about stuff you're weirded out by because it's different. Who gives a flying fuck about genetics, or who is what or this or that... That's the same tired argument that is 'sex/marriage should only be between men and women' and the whole lizard bullshit is the same crap as "well what if dogs can now marry"
Get over yourselves. Russia called... they want their queer-phobia back...

the media isn't creating these storylines... jenner is out there doing that shit herself. She's rich enough that if she wanted a private island to go fuck off to and not be all over tv's and newspapers she could buy ten of them and keep people guessing where she really fucking is
no one really gives a shit that she's trans, thats the whole point of most of our arguments. just stop rubbing it in everyones face. be who you are, be proud of it, but don't go around begging for praise from everyone in the world because of it
but I still stand by the argument that if she can't recognize that she is biologically a dude, then she has mental problems
Cool beans if they want to identify and live as the opposite gender, but don't try and pass yourself off as the opposite sex. You can't change sex. Having this distinction does actually matter. Sports is a good example why.
S.J.Wyou should go to a hospital and tell all kids that they aren't as brave as the soldiers. I mean, bravery and courage can be quantified yes?
those kids didn't chose to be there. That guy lost limbs in Iraq defending his country and what it stands for, big difference. Yes those kids are brave, but they had no choice in deciding if they go to the hospital.
DingoSeanIf you stand by this, you have mental problems.
Like I said, I don't care what she identifies as, AS LONG AS she still recognizes the fact that her genetic makeup is that of a male. You can't change that, why is that so hard to understand? Think gender is wrong = fine, change that shit up if you want. Think your sex is wrong = lacks basic understanding of biology or suffers from delusion

Again I have friends and family that are gay no phobia towards them what so ever, because they are normal and dont have the need to slice and dice their bodies to become something that they are not.
The whole lizard thing and dog thing I knew that would be brought up, but here is the thing. How many people have you seen crying out to marry their dog? How many people have you seen on tv saying that they are married to a dog? None to my knowledge.
Now this guy really thinks he is a blow up doll. He thinks that for real, so who is it to say he isnt?
This guy really thinks he is a Tiger because Jenner and other transgender demand to be called the sex that they changed them selves to, why wouldnt you call this man a Tiger? What is the difference ? He had his body changed to become the thing he always felt he was just like transgender people.

what is normal though? Is it what what's the mainstream? Because if we take that thinking, being straight is normal and being gay isn't. Or is it what is socially acceptable? Being gay wasn't socially acceptable up until recent. Hell it even use to be illegal to be gay. It use to be normal to own slaves and lynch black people.
But with reference to your photos. Katella Dash is a transgender woman who aspires to look like a blowup doll as she think it's the epitome of femininity. And as for Dennis Avner, he aspires to be like a tiger. He doesn't think he is a tiger.
But even if they both thought what they aspired to be, what damage is it doing to you? Just call them what they want to be called and move along with your day. Unless Dennis is going to maul you, just smile and be a decent human being.
Akon isn't solely providing solar power to 600 million africans. Again, another case of the internet blowing something up to diminish Caitlyn Jenner. And people still wonder why she's brave for coming out.
Akon is the spear head behind an in initiative to train people at a specialized facility at Bamako, Mali. He's not giving solar power to 600 million Africans. That's how many Africans are without power and his end goal for his charity Akon lighting Africa. He is providing Africans with the know how to manage micro grids and the resources they otherwise wouldn't of had to build and manage solar power for themselves. I remember when the majority of my news came from instagram posts from Chris Brown who I would put money on is transphobic as fuck
S.J.WAgain, another case of the internet blowing something up to diminish Caitlyn Jenner. And people still wonder why she's brave for coming out.
Do you think that America would benefit from more attention being given to the Jenner/Kardashian clan/family/unmitigated disaster?
First of all, it is not really about Jenner. The discussion is really about the acceptance of transgender people. Its just unfortunate that the first famous person to be public about it is coming from such a fucking disaster of a family. Because really, our society should be doing everything in its power to diminish the relevance of any and all Kardashians/Jenners.
Honestly, I think most of you would benefit more not from discussing the acceptance of transgender people but more focus on how various groups and people are reacting or not reacting.
There is a lot to be learned about the current state of various cultures by studding who is not making disproving noises, but would have been expected to, and who has not made an overt motion of acceptance and applaud, but might have been expected to.
Then there is this contradictory statement:

To the people who are against her sex-change,
If you could explain to me how you are personaly affected by somebody you will never meet, talk to or have any associations with's choice to have a v rather than a d, please do.
madchroniclol these terms are getting out of hand. Really... "transphobic" haha
How is getting out of hand? What other word would you give to be people that don't like/scared (of) trans people? Considering phobia is the base word for every that relates to fear transphobia is the word.
CoolDude420To the people who are against her sex-change,
If you could explain to me how you are personaly affected by somebody you will never meet, talk to or have any associations with's choice to have a v rather than a d, please do.
I would actually love to hear anyone give me just one credible reason as to why they're against her sex change without using the reasoning of it not being normal or religious reasons.
-emile-well... yeah ? he chose to go through the procedure, he wasn't forced, he could've remained a man lol.
but what is there to actually diminsh ?
wow, that's actually one of the dumbest comments I've ever ridden with regards to trans people. If being trans is a choice, then so is being gay. And if you think being either gay or trans is a choice then you're a fucking idiot.

wtf, taking all the hormones and having the surgeries he had were 1000000000% his choices.
-emile-did he not consciously make those changes to his body ?
well my original post was about the feeling of being trans and then you wanted to turn it into a discussion of going under the knife being a conscious decision which wasn't my OP and a dumb point to make. But yes she underwent surgery on her own accord. Should that fucking matter though in the discussion on her feelings towards her being a woman? No.
S.J.WThat picture you posted is referring to the Ashe Arthur Courage award 100%. Don't be such an idiot.
Where do you see that? Sorry but no, that's not what it means. There are other memes about that though, I could see why your little pea-brain would get confused :)
.frenchyWhere do you see that? Sorry but no, that's not what it means. There are other memes about that though, I could see why your little pea-brain would get confused :)
So it just happens to use the exact solider that lost his limbs in war as that false photo? It's a direct reference to the Ashe Athur award. Don't try and fool yourself to think otherwise because if you showed anyone that photo they would think of that other photo.

You're not getting it. Bruce is getting all the attention, awards, mag covers, etc. When nobody cares about the soldier compared to the trans.

The army has their awards and medallions. The Victorian Cross for example and when Ben Roberts received that award for his bravery it was big news in Australia. Just like Caitlyn Jenner right now. Veterans have ANZAC day (not sure of equivalent of the American public holiday), Remembrance day, and war memorials spread across the world. But sure, no one cares about our vets. I don't think anyone thinks people in the Army aren't brave or courageous, they're saying Caitlyn Jenner is ALSO brave and courageous. The army isn't the par to which you're not brave til you've been in the army. Bravery is not linear and thus comparing two different sets of bravery is stupid.
