Quote:I don't recognize the other two names and I really don't feel like looking it up.  However, does one changing their name (to a stage name) equate to someone that is trying to give the illusion of trying to change what they actually are?  Norma Jeane changed her name, not her (want the world to perceive) gender.  As much as people want to say otherwise, Bruce Jenner is still a male no matter how much makeup is applied and what he dresses in.

 

The bottom line is, Bruce Jenner is famous exactly why?  Is it because of his accomplishment in the 1976 Olympics?  Today no, it's because he announced the illusion that he is becoming a she.  So why is he being featured on the cover of a sports magazine?  Because the PC crowd is trying to ram this down our throats as being "normal".

A name is only feminine or masculine because society deems it to be. Madison used to be a boy's name, then it became a girl's name in the eighties. Not to mention the plethora of unisex names that exist. A man can call himself Mindy, Ellen or Cindy and a woman can call herself Robert, Mark or James if that's the name they desire. 

 

Fact is, your opinion on the matter of transgender people shouldn't have an effect on what name you call a person. The fact you use John Wayne to refer to the person whose official name is Marion Mitchell Morrison and Marilyn Monroe instead of Norma Jeane Mortenson already shows you're fine with calling someone by a name they choose instead of the name they picked themselves. John Wayne never even changed his name officially unlike Monroe and Jenner. whether or not you believe a man can be a woman or even if transgender people exist should be irrelevant to the name you use to refer to a person.
