Hmm... will these "celebs" ever find the bottom of the attention seeking barrel?

Gender-reassignment surgery: because there's simply no easier way for a celebrity to get attention.

*all the f*cking rolleyes*

I wish he/she would fcuk off and take his attention seeking family with him/her.

A load of nasty judgement and prejudice from that guy in an opinion piece. http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/bruce-jenner-is-not-a-woman-he-is-a-sick-and-delusional-man/

We already know there are bigots, he's just one more.

Jenner is pretty brave to follow her heart at this point in her life, in the full glare of publicity. That takes a level of determination and guts I don't even understand.

Good read, thanks

Bruce Jenner is now a woman and has unveiled a new look on the cover of Vanity Fair! http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/caitlyn-jenner-bruce-cover-annie-leibovitz :eek: To me, it seems like gender reassignment isn't the answer. Obviously someone who does something like this would have deep rooted issues and surely he needs help with his mind, not his body? I say this as I read this article which has some great points http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/bruce-jenner-is-not-a-woman-he-is-a-sick-and-delusional-man/ I do feel for his daughters, it must be so utterly surreal for them!

:rolleyes:

For the Jenner children, the issue of the transition has become a non-issue. They were already aware of their father’s identity as a woman when he told them individually about the transition—Burt and Cassandra had learned from their mother roughly 20 years earlier, when they were 13 and 11; Brandon had assumed it because of the obvious physical changes he had observed; and Brody was told by his mother when he was 29. They tell Bissinger they feel both happiness for their father and inspiration at his bravery, and they all still see their dad as their dad regardless of any gender label. Brandon said he was a little taken aback when he saw Caitlyn for the first time after surgery and she pulled her top up to reveal her new breasts. “Whoa, I’m still your son,” he reminded her.

Meh, him/her and their whole family are one rolling reality show. If anyone thinks this was done without even a thought about publicity then they need their head examined.

What was the need to pose on Vanity Fair after your gender re assignment? Loads go through the same procedure without the need to appear on a magazine after...

Primarily because she was invited. You don't ring Vanity Fair and ask to be photographed by Annie Liebovitz and put on the front cover.
I'd imagine it's also largeley due to a desire to normaise the concept of transgender as there's still an absurd level of prejudice against transgender people.
And also probably personal pride at having finally become the person she knew she was.
And yes, lots of other people are transgender individuals, but they're not world-famous Olympians and reality-tv stars, so they wouldn't attract the attention of your average Vanity-Fair cover star.

Even if she had done this due to emotional issues (which is highly doubtful as few professionals would ok the procedure if there were doubts about her mental state), so what? It's her life, it doesn't affect you.

I've seen a good few articles that say BJ probably has some issues and this may not make him happy in the long run. One I believe was written by some psychologist. The articles I've read raised some good points and I did find myself agreeing with most of what was said

Did this psychologist have a doctor/patient relationship with Bruce?
