re: Bruce Jenner interview

When Bruce was shown clips from his Olympic days, he said he saw himself as "her". That we see a man doing these feats, but he saw himself as a woman doing them. That was amazing to me. Along w/ him saying that if Kris would have been okay with "this", they would still be married.
I think I'm pretty progressive, but I also have a hard time w/ those who are transgendered mutilating their bodies. But at the same time, if the person has the money/insurance to have the SRS, I wonder why many don't?

Does nobody else see the irony when a trans-person says "I just want to be the real me"?

Hummm... A him saying he saw a "her" doing it at some time before he went on to do a lot of hers but now says he is a her. Now I'm as confused as he/her is!!

Yeah, I found all of that fascinating & bizarre, as well. It is difficult to fathom someone who was as masculine as Jenner picturing himself as a female while competing & excelling in the most strenuous athletic Olympic event. It's hard to imagine the best male athlete in the world seeing himself as a female. ... And it is strange that he would have wanted to stay married after his transition. I don't believe many wives would agree to that, understandably.

At the present time, there are many psychological pre-requisites & conditions to be met by the surgical candidate. It takes several years of counseling before the actual operations can take place for most patients. However, in the case of celebrities, I'm sure it is different. Money, power, & fame play a part in it, without a doubt, so some of that is waived in those circumstances, I'm pretty positive.
