Nothing to do with decency.
According to all his family he is the most wonderful
human being around, why should he hide?

He, has done nothing wrong, but showed his journey.
A great example for everyone.

Yes, the Kardashian clan...about as plastic and transparent as a "family" can possibly be.

And yes, they gave the ole " we stand behind you" 100% Bruce.. Speech. but I am also sure they had their

Jesus Christ Dad!!!!... moments

i agree, but it's making more money now, no need to sponge off the kardashians anymore..

i disagree, a very poor example for everyone... it had it's fame when it won a gold medal, a true hero then... now just a waste of time and money...

Caitlyn Jenner was/is still a human being; isn't an axe murderer/not a child molester/not an abuser of tiny helpless animals and from the brief moments that I saw his 'UNHAPPY' face on that reality show {when my Daugther In-Law was here} Caitlyn is beaming and those eye's speak of a HAPPY SOUL! Doesn't everyone deserve to be HAPPY?
Something that wasn't there prior in any of the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' reruns!

But hiding seems to be what machismo male's in our world would rather have done with 'Trans Gendered Humans' then having an adult discussion about them --- here's a secret >>>
Psssst - It's not contagious!

Ill second that Moe.....

is that your opinion? i take it i'm not allowed to have one? should i just agree with you and not worry about what i really think?

All I know is, when in doubt use the Crocodile Dundee test... Guess it ain't none of my business what that guy (girl) does...

Did anyone think Sonny and Cher's daughter would turn into what it did??

^This.

This 'IS' a community forum = everyone's OPINION!
Do I have to type that each and every time I post?
Where did I type that 'YOU' weren't allowed your OPINION?
GOOD GRIEF...take a walk but not off the deep end every time someone responds to your THOUGHTS!

so we are having an "adult" conversation then?

No reason to judge what he does with his life. As long as he's happy, I don't really care.

In reality, I really don't care what Jenner does. But I would have more respect for Jenner if he was documenting his change " for all to see".. for free. But he is not. He gets paid for this.

You see, when you get paid for something, you are not doing it as a public service. You are not doing it to help others who come after you or to document the "struggle"

You are doing it for money. It then becomes a commodity that you are selling.

So at that point, I loose all respect for him

But that is JMO

Amen Moe. Odd that those praising one man for expressing his individuality are casting aspersions on you for your expression of yours.

I think a man has an equal right to don a gown and get breasts or to wear a flannel shirt and sport a beard. I make the decision for neither nor am I required to approve of either.

One indisputable fact: his decision to become a transformer has zero bearing on my life.

While I may or may not disagree with your opinion, you are entitled to state that opinion without being denigrated.

Could he be doing it for more than one reason?....

...would that work --- like really, truly...you could just do that? After 20 yrs of marriage I never got away with that --- never, not once; it'd be rather...well COOL!

Would that be horribly painful?

No - NOOOO - NO - NO; don't go jumping to conclusions when you didn't ask me what/why I meant! When a 'MAN' makes comments about Bruce Jenner's Gold Medal performance and then starts referring to him as an 'IT' in the next sentence it rather demeans the entire intent and degrades whatever follows!
RIGHT???
You did read my entire post...surely you did?
Don't make me drag out the chalk board and draw stick figures too...LOL

I don't understand why it's Caitlyn and not Kaitlyn.
