I am not normal.
This, I learned from a news story 35 years ago. The details have faded with the passage of time, but the gist of it remains clear. Some expert had crunched a bunch of numbers in search of the average human being, the planetary norm, and found that she was an 8-year-old Japanese girl, living in Tokyo. I dont fit that profile; Im willing to bet you dont, either. So as a matter of statistical fact, Im not normal and neither are you. I went to church with Bruce Jenner. Here's what Caitlyn Jenner taught me about Jesus. I went to church with Bruce Jenner. Here's what Caitlyn Jenner taught me about Jesus.
Ive always found that story a useful corrective whenever I am tempted to declaim too haughtily on what is or isnt normal. I offer it now to Rush Limbaugh in the vain hope it will help him rethink his assault last week on the woman who used to be Bruce Jenner. Granted, the story was about planetary norms and Limbaugh was ranting about American social norms, but the principle still applies.

You are a better man than I if you can see an argument in there.
I suppose I shall have to make a new rule for myself. If you have to work that hard to understand what some one is saying, it ain’t worth it.
Stu Pitts doesn’t have a PERSUASIVE argument, just “cool kids say this so go with the flow”.
Such wisdom here overfloweth.
With proper 24-hour-a-day supervision, Jenner could possibly be a somewhat adequate tent pole.

Bruce is still Bruce, no matter what alias he might adopt. First of all, beneath that slinky dress, he still has all his male tackle. And should he find his current $50 million insufficient, and decide to go ahead with the genital mutilation so as to elicit more $en$ationali$tic notoriety, which actually changes nothing of consequence, and leaves him with all his male chromosomes intact, untouched and inviolable. He’ll still be Bruce. And at the Great White Throne Judgement he’ll be confronted with the enormity of his money-grubbing, publicity whoring folly. I pity him.
Does putting on blackface make me black?
Why does blackface offend both races?
Leonard, you ignorant slut.
As a Freeper poet said lately You can put tits on a duck, but that dont make it a cow.
or how about ‘you can put tits on Bruce Jenner, but that don’t make it a woman...’
