Bruce Jenner

What do you think? Trans? Cis? Go!

[Guest Sarah Faith]

Not trans, likely suffers from body dysmorphia.

[Guest SouthernBelle]

I agree, but why the trachea shave?

[Guest Sarah Faith]

Body Dysmorphia tends to be where people dislike their body in general they will fixate on aspects of their body and often have them changed via surgery. From the things I have read he is not likely trans, nor has he ever claimed to be so.

[Guest SouthernBelle]

I agree, still. But why the focus on the trachea? Doesn't have to come down to trans or not. Either way, it's a symbol. Thoughts?

[Guest Sarah Faith]

Well as I stated people who suffer from body dysmorphia often obsess over real or perceived physical defects. Why the trachea? Perhaps because it was prominent and stuck out in his mind as a huge defect, I couldn't say for sure. The only person who will likely ever really know would be him, and even then he might not really have a handle on his own issues.

[Guest thevaliantx]

Who in Hollywood has a handle on their own issues? They can't even get themselves out of bed.

My personal take on it is that it's none of my business, and not my place to speculate. The blabosphere can do fine without my contribution.

He was a very talented athlete a long, long time ago. Other than that, I haven't put much thought into him.

In a way it seems that if he decides to put his life on TV as he has with the Kardashians series then he has opened himself to scrutiny and speculation. Pictures do show a clear breast development and he has had plastic surgery as well as wearing pink nail polish and his hair long and feminine. The comments his wife made about their divorce could be interpreted as gender related I suppose too. I don't know what that all means because he hasn't said but can see why it fuels speculation and suspect he at least falls under the transgender umbrella. Whether he is transsexual only he can know, If so he has made some bad choices as far as making his life so public if he if unwilling to acknowledge a transition. In the end though is only human and who among us has not made some bad choices as well?

Not a fan of the series or Jenner at all but had seen a couple of pics on the news that caught my attention and did a little reading to see what the situation might be.

[Guest Jenni_S]

My opinion, honestly? I couldn't care less. The longer he keeps people guessing, the more attention he gets, which I'm sure is just fine with him and his press agents.

I remember him on a Wheaties box, that's about it.

[JJ]

The only reason I am interested at all is that due to the area where we live anything that generates discussion of transsexuals has the potential to impact me and my family because co-workers will discuss it around my daughter and kids will come to school and repeat to my granddaughter what they hear at home.

It's like oh well, yawn. I saw a headline on the cover of a tabloid about 6 months ago in the check out isle about Jenner "wanting to be a woman". I know as Bruce he did really well in sports way back when, but I don't watch any those TV programs today, like Johnny it's good to be aware of but that is about the extent of my interest....
