Has he changed his penis yet?
You tell me.
Reposting my post from another thread:
I watched the TV interview. I believe there are things in the brain / hormones that we dont understand. I believe he found himself unable to ever be comfortable as himself because his brain, inside, felt female.
I have seen men on Lupron, removed from their male hormones. A man much like your burly macho freeper self, reduced to weeping at car commercials. A lot of what makes you such a manly guy is your hormones. Sometimes you see a heavyset older man on TV who has a feminine look to his face? Like that man who is on the left in the Triple Crown TV coverage (Costas on the right)? That is a man who is becoming estrogen dominant. Hormones do amazing things.
I have seen a wife, totally uninterested in sex, and a rather laissez faire wife, take testosterone replacement enough to meet a normal female level, suddenly not just be interested in and enjoy sex with her husband, but literally feel like she was in love with him again. Suddenly getting excited to see him after the work day. She was herself SHOCKED that hormones can bring back love and interest. She always loved him but the thrill was gone. Correcting her T levels brought back the thrill. Need I tell you how thrilled her husband was??!
With that said, my perspective is different from all the 103 posts I have read. I think he is a helpless victim of a brain dysfunction. He tried for 60 years to live the way YOU ALL insist he should. And as a male, he achieved more manly stuff than most. You cannot deny that; none of you have won Olympic decathalons. Yet deep inside, he was about as happy as you would be if you were trapped in a life not your own.
Right now in Western Civ 2015, the solution to this illness is to allow / encourage the person to try life as the gender of their brain. About half the people are then happy doing so. The other half sometimes end up feeling worse, or at least not that a problem was solved.
The culture today is to be half-mocking, half-patronizing to these peoples bravery. Sometimes the very same individual will mock these transition people amongst his closest friends, and in public be expansively supportive.
We may need a better solution to people whose brain gender doesnt match their genitals. I have no idea what it is. But I will respect this new Caitlin as Bruces best attempt to fix his illness. I truly dont have a better solution he hasnt tried.
Im sad that my beloved FR has ONLY full on mocks and put downs, with not one post of kindness toward someone, a conservative himself, with a brain problem that he couldnt help.
Wouldn’t it be great if Wheeties put that pic on their box? /sarc

I understand s(he) still has a pecker.
That's like addressing a brain tumor by removing a kidney.
AKA, Bruce “Trans” Jenner
I’ve been wondering if his condition is a result of hormones/steroids/doping for the Olympics.
If he wants to dress like a girl and act like a girl, that's his business. But the medical community should not perform elective genital mutilation.
I don’t think he removed his penis.

When someone has a serious mental illness, playing along with their illness is exactly the wrong thing to do.
I don’t see it.

That is an interesting thought. However, by his own admission, he was dressing up in his female relatives’ clothes even as a child. Can’t remember if he said his sister’s or whose.
Agree completely.
Amazing how so many people assume the brain’s sexuality matches the sex organs 100% of the time and nothing can go “wrong”.
“You tell me.”
I wouldn’t look at the picture let alone his junk.
Has he changed his DNA yet?
Today's "experts" would suggest removing the brain.....
I dont see it.
Lol. I don’t see it either, but apparently people don’t always do that any more. And he said in the TV interview that he didn’t know if he would do that.
