That's because Caitlyn Jenner is rich.

It's really simple, friends.

Yo Google is not doing its part, alert the authority or your citizenship may be at risk.

TIL she's 75.

Obviously she's had some work done, but goddamn that is a lot of work.

I just wasn't expecting a full plastic person! And I suppose they do say estrogen supplements are good for the skin.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 32 points 3 months ago

Plus being a professional track and field star makes for a great foundation into the later years.

She’ll be against the wall still singing Trump’s praises

seeing alot of transphobia in the comments, light and probably accidental but yes deadnaming caitlyn is transphobia even if she fucking sucks.

it shows the trans people here that your acceptance is conditional on us agreeing with you.

you can call her out for her bs without deadnaming her

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 53 points 3 months ago

The reply to her tweet is on point, though. Any more deadnaming is just deadnaming.

Anyway, I would gladly provide her with HRT and send her to a labor camp as an enemy of the people.

is conditional on us agreeing with you.

Not exactly. If anything it's conditional on you not selling your allies/kin down the river.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Except that by misgendering her you're causing harm to the trans community as a whole. We don't misgender cisgender people when they are bad people. Misgendering transgender people who do bad things only shows that respecting transgender identity is conditional and can be revoked by other people. It's not. It's who we are. Even if someone is a trash fire human being they still should be gendered correctly.

Transphobes will read comments misgendering or deadnaming Caitlyn and cheer along. There are far, far better ways to vocalize disapproval of her. Ways that don't hurt other trans people.

I appreciate your point. A few months ago I was in a discussion with someone on Lemmy about the strategy of maliciously complying with someone that has insincerely stated a preference for neo-pronouns. The example in the discussion was Elon Musk claiming "prosecute/Fauci" as pronouns, but insincere pronouns aren't necessarily so easily spotted. (My position was and is that it's okay to maliciously comply with someone's professed pronouns to demonstrate that person's insincerity)

If you're not tired of tutoring ignorant allies I'd really appreciate your opinion on that dilemma.

would you call Candace Owens the n word? bigotry is about you, not the person you subject it to.

I feel like accepting a trans person is, in fact, conditional on their support for other trans people. Like, it doesn't have to be their whole personality, but full-throatedly supporting the anti-trans administration is the exact opposite of supporting the trans community.

How much does it suck to be the one guy that didn't wear his helmet to work that day?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Or worse, he did wear a helmet but it was destroyed in the first leopard attack.

This is gonna be one of those 'oh, my transition was done during the previous administration, so THIS administrations rules rules don't apply to me' cases.

They Still Call Me Bruce Part II: Transgender Boogaloo

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (6 children)

Hot take: she came out as trans to cover up the story of her hitting and killing someone with her car

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 3 months ago (3 children)

maybe. maybe not. In the end not for us to decide.

But tbh, if that were the case, she wouldn't have "stuck to the act" for so long.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not saying she's not trans I just think it's convenient. Like Kevin spacey coming out as gay, right as the allegations happen

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 3 months ago

oh, absolutely great timing to dilute the news, agreed

She was trans but came out to play for sympathy, just like Kevin spacey coming out as gay right as he was accused of being a rapist

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago

Yeah, maybe she came out when she did for that reason, but nobody has ever pretended to be trans and gone through years of HRT and surgery.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

these two are the same person, formerly called "Bruce JENNER", now called "Caitlyn JENNER"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I meant what Caitlyn was referring to.

[–] volt864@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Instead of properly debating the issue at hand (the sanity of this schizo), commenters fight on whenever or not she's getting misgendered in the comments. Never change Lemmy
