She looks gorgeous. Leave it to the Kardashians for great PR. Annie Liebovitz no less.

Looks much better than any of the Kardashian women.

No sh_t???

As a woman, Jenner should have another good reason to switch political parties.

That is an AMAZING photo. And, frankly, I’m surprised. Many of the M to F transitions that I’ve seen didn’t seem to be that “true” in the sense that I’ve usually been able to tell that the person was a man in another incarnation. Strangely, I’ve seen more F to M transitions that I thought were almost perfect. When women choose to undergo gender reassignment, it usually looks (at least to me) more “organic.”

And, yeah - what does it say for the Kardashian trash that Caitlyn looks much better than they do???

Osmosis? Caitlyn has had 6 examples of what not to wear living in-house.

Appears she’s been inspired by Sarah Palin in many ways.

Ms Jenner has what most trans women don’t- a whole lot of money. Face feminization surgery, breast implants, and even genital reconstruction surgery costs a lot of money- we’re talking all together- more than $100,000 worth of expenses that most trans women can’t afford. Some trans women can’t even afford more than the doctor’s visits and hormones. That means no access to electrolysis. That money can buy a ton of looking good.

There’s also genetics involved. I’ve known a few trans women who look straight up female even before starting transition…and a few women who look male and aren’t transsexual at all.

“She”, chammy. Ms Jenner is a woman, please use the correct pronouns. You never know how many trans people might be reading your comments and taking what you say badly.

On the subject regarding Ms Jenner’s political stance- as a trans woman, she really should have a strong incentive to join the Democrats. Unfortunately, I’ve met numerous trans women who were Republicans and even proud members of the Log Cabin Republicans and GOProud.

Pretty sure there’s a Y chromosome in there somewhere. I hope he finds peace with the change.

This photo was photoshoped heavily. It almost looks like a painting.

So, Mr. Transphobic Idiot, would you like to actually crack open your brain and learn something or do you just want to remain a bigot?

Did you know that trans women have brain maps that are almost identical to those of cis women? That’s right, a trans woman is born with a brain structured to be female- which means that their brain is hard wired to believe that it should be a specific way and the discord created by that lack of compatible brain and body creates what is known as dysphoria- which is a sort of all encompassing depression/numbness that one could describe as being akin to being dropped into the Arctic Ocean without survival gear and being left there.

Transsexuality is caused by quite a number of genetic and hormonal factors which makes the whole “Y” chromosome argument pretty moot.

But, I really wonder why I bother with mentioning all of this to a transphobic idiot because, in my experience, none of you like to actually learn anything. So, why don’t you just go comment on something else.

Oh, and it doesn’t matter if the photographs were photoshopped- that’s standard practice in the industry these days- everyone’s photoshopped!

She is… how do the kids say these days? “SLAYING, HUNTY”

Since she’s being lauded–with a reality show even–I have to ask the question; as a rich conservative Republican, how is she any different than (insert your favorite rights for me and not for thee) Republican?

Being a woman and trans < $125 million fortune.

It says that Caitlyn has a whole lot more money to put towards her transition than most trans people.

Looks like she’s the next inspiration for Rich Lowry’s “little starbursts.”

Is there a difference between a pic of Caitlin being 'shopped vs. a pic of one of her stepdaughters?
