Republicans, perpetual victims in a country that is clearly out to destroy them by giving them all the power.

I actually agree just a bit- it takes a lot of bravery to be both a trans woman and a Conservative. After all, itâs always so nice to be near other Conservatives who will look at you like youâre some sort of Frankensteinâs Monster and treat you like youâre a horrible person and human.

âŚCaitlyn Jennerâs real bravery rested in her declaration of being a Republican instead of her gender transition.
Weird. because if you look on Twitter, itâs the âliberalsâ who are praising Jenner while itâs the TCOTs who are saying the most vile things about her.

âBruce Jenner did something that was very difficult. Bruce Jenner did
something that he knew was probably going to give him a lot of grief.
Bruce Jenner stood up and loudly and proudly declared that he was a
Republican.â
Is there a reason why Bolling canât bring himself to refer to Jenner as âCaitlinâ? Why is it more courageous to âcome outâ as a Rethug when she wonât be accepted by her political party? Personally, Iâd call that kinda stupid.
Yes, because Republicans face the same demonization â and maybe even more â as trans people in the armed forces, on the battlefield, in public restroomsâŚ

If Andrea is correct, then Mitt Romney also deserves praise for his courage in coming out as a Republican. After all, itâs not about transgender, itâs about politics, right? Same for Donald Trump, the Koch brothers, Andrea Tartaros, Dana Perino, Vince Vaughn, Victoria Jackson, Cliven Bundy, shoot, every single Republican is courageous just for being a Republican. Everyone gets a gold star!
Wow, kinda sounds like hypocrisy coming from the ideologues who regularly dismiss that kind of inclusive encouragement as being hippy dreamland lets-all-hold-hands-and-sing-kumbaya liberalism.

Next upâŚBill-O: âWheaties are dead to me.â
Hey, whatever works. If this gets a thousand more Teabaggers out to vote, âMission Accomplishedâ, no matter how fucking ridiculous the claim is.

Most Republicans will never change.
Caitlyn --------the next candidate in the ClownCar?
I cringe thinking about what it must be like seeing the world through the same depressing lens every single day
I think it was more courageous to come out as a conservative than to come out as Caitlyn
Maybe in Malibu, California. But the exact opposite would be the case in many other areas of the country.
These two have said stupid things in the past ⌠wait, let me rephrase that more accurately ⌠once or twice these two have actually said something intelligent ⌠but this one takes them even further into the land of the absurd, idiotic and completely irrelevant.
I really hate being put in a position to defend a fox news host, but i think it would be acceptable to use âBruceâ and âheâ in this context because the statement was actually made when Caitlyn was still identifying as Bruce. Iâm sure someone would correct me if thatâs unacceptable.
On a general note, there is going to be a steep learning curve in discussing this issue, where even folks who donât want to be offensive are having trouble properly articulating their thoughts. I noticed professional talkers on the olâ tee vee last night slipping with their pronouns. More people became accepting of gay marriage as more gay people came out of the closet and were visible in their day to day lives. Most Americans, i would imagine, havenât had much contact with trans folks on a day-to-day, or even passing basis, and arenât well versed on how to talk about these issues.
