It must be difficult to feel out of place in your own body, to feel that you've been screwed, gender-wise, and in Caitlyn's case to feel that you're not a male but a female even though by all outward appearances, you look male.It must be even more difficult when you head into middle age with a wife and family and even more of a problem when you have become famous and rich as a male athlete and Reality Teevee star.
So, I have a certain amount of sympathy for the former Bruce Jenner, now known as Caitlyn, during this transition period.
I am, however, sick and tired of hearing about it. I'm sick and tired of looking at her picture every single day when I turn on my computer. [Note: I see the hypocrisy in posting the photo above!] But that's not necessarily her fault.
Now, it turns out there is reason to be frustrated and angry with Ms. Jenner. She's a Republican. That, in and of itself, isn't worthy of hell, but she's a right-wing Republican.
She doesn't like poor people; people who, she claims, game the system to get free government money so they don't have to work. And like the typical Republican she has nothing to say about the huge amounts of corporate welfare expended by the government, or the fact that many of the rich pay little or no taxes, often avoiding their fair share by hiding their money in off-shore accounts.
What is it with these wealthy Republicans? They seem to have no capacity for either sympathy or empathy. Anyone who isn't rich is obviously a slacker and not worthy of our attention or help.
So, Ms. Jenner, I don't give a damn whether you're a man, woman or frog. But I do care that you're an elitist, selfish, uncaring human being. Of course, these days, that qualifies you to run for president under the Republican flag!
