Quote:You could show some maturity by calling her by her legal name. I don't expect you to call Caitlyn "her", you've already shown your ignorance on the subject of transgenders, but you should at least recognize the fact of her real name.

 

Well you know, you and I don't agree on a lot of things, this subject being one of them.

 

I've already gotten a warning for calling a certain surgery something, but in my mind.  If a person has an "outie" between their legs, that person is a male.  If a person has an "innie" between their legs that person is a female.  It doesn't matter to me what the person "feels like" or "identifies" as.  The facts are the facts.  That's not "ignorance", that it is simply stating a fact.

 

Part of society may want me to call a biological male a "she" or a biological female a "he", but I refuse to do that.

 

I don't really care what people choose to do in their personal lives.  It makes no difference to me and has no impact on my life whatsoever.  However, I do have a problem when a sports publication wants to feature a biological male on their cover that has been out of sports for several years simply because he decided that he is a she.

 

Is it biological or psychological?  I'm tired of getting the psychological decision of people getting put in my face and being "forced" by the mainstream as being "normal".  I'm sorry, but if you were born with a penis then you are male.  If you were born with a vagina you are female.  Gender isn't a "feeling" it's a biological fact.

 

So no, I won't call Bruce Jenner by his chosen name and I won't address him as she, her, etc.  His choice of clothing, makeup and lifestyle doesn't make him a woman.
