What does it mean to be Caitlyn?
http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/a-d78a-What-does-it-mean-to-be-Caitlyn
ON MONDAY June 1, we experienced Bruce Jenner’s big reveal. Vanity Fair magazine released its July cover image of the former athlete and reality star formerly known as Bruce Jenner, with the catchily alliterative headline “Call me Caitlyn.â€...
Jenner is not a “gender outlaw†breaking down boundaries and a mechanism for positive change. Jenner represents the status quo, in opposition to the positive, progressive force and changes that decades of women’s suffrage and activism have fought for.
We can view this image of Jenner as being not “a man becoming a woman†(itself a contentious and somewhat counterfactual statement) but as “a man becoming a man’s idea of what a woman should be.â€
This is writ large over the Vanity Fair cover: an idealised body is presented clothed only in lingerie, the makeup is done to perfection, and every flaw is magically Photoshopped out of existence. Pandering to the male gaze, the body language is coy, seductive, submissive. This is not liberation, this is not revolution, this is not life-affirming. This is the crass stereotyping of what it means to be a woman, meeting every reactionary, culturally conservative ideal of what a woman should be — passive, objectified, dehumanised.
So, what they're saying is something really interesting... (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026784759)
I think what liberals want from trannies goes something like this:
1. Be a tranny, sure, but...
2. Don't try to be pretty, because...
3. If you do, we'll crap all over you for it, because...
4. Most people of the gender you pretend to be don't look as good as you, and...
5. You're ****ing our shit up.
Basically, to follow this line of thinking, someone who wants to go to the bother of reassigning themselves the the opposite sex should
take care not to do it too well, lest they perpetuate gender stereotypes.
DUmmies would have Bruce Jenner (and his name is Bruce, no matter if he tucks his junk between his butt cheeks or not) look like this:

Instead of the image he presents on the cover of Vanity Fair.
Allow me to say this differently: a 65-year-old Olympic champion known worldwide as a man decides to pretend he's a woman, and wants the world to see him as a woman, but to effect this
change, he's not supposed to strive for his ideal of feminine beauty. He's supposed to look like a typical, fat, hairy, angry womynist ragebag or he's perpetuating gender stereotypes.
How was that supposed to go, lurkers? "Yeah, I want to change completely, but can you make me look like LynneSin from Democratic Underground? Sure, I want to be a woman, but I really think I need to start at the absolute bottom of the heap. Can you arrange that for me?"

Ya know, Bruce doesn't look any worse, maybe even just a smidge better, than DUmmie CalPeg.

Not many are worse looking than Cal Piggy.

The only thing I WANT TO know about "trannies" is whether it's manual or automatic, and how many speeds it has...

The new Porsche ones--'double clutch'--must be a bitch to work on. :whistling:

Stipulated. DU just seems to believe that if a 65-year-old man is going to be a woman, he ought to strive to look like CalPig as opposed to how they think they should look. Weird. Stupid.

Oh, how times have changed.
Mechanic: 'Looks like you blew the tranny there, buddy.'
1970: 'Oh, hell. How much for a new one?'
2015: 'No, we were just kissing.'

Bruce is just a pervert looking for a reality show until he actually goes under the knife.
Then he becomes a committed pervert.
-
What liberals don't understand about Trannies: Tranny = Freak (not a gender, a freak)
Bruce admitted he still has his man parts.
If the manhood is still intact, he is not a she. He is a freak, plain and simple.
The Photoshopper at Vanity Fair is very good.

It could be worse. At least Jenner didn't announce he's running for President.

That reminded me of an old joke. I couldn't remember exactly how it went but google helped:
A vacationing penguin is driving his through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.
After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No no," the penguin replies, "it's just ice cream."

I just wanna know how he got such a great rack in such a short amount of time. One day he's Bruce, next day he's Bruce with a DU-style feminine edge declaring he's transwhatever, the day after that he's on the cover of Vanity Fair with tits that would make Alexis Texas drool.

I wouldn't be surprised if "shemale" is now one of the DUmp's auto-ban-hammer words.

Delmar, that's one of my favorite jokes of all time. :lmao:
That woman in the picture that BFDU posted is never going to need an abortion.
Bruce isn't even a tranny. He's a garden variety cross dresser. Who cares? And can we please have the next shiny object?

No kidding. My rack took 47 years to build. He got his in record time.

Photoshop. They painted out his man parts too (he still has them).

I was wondering if they were either photo shopped out or "padded around" to look "smoother".
Maybe he's wearing a "prosthesis" of some kind down there. :confused:

Two stick MACK with 13 speeds....Bruce has one stick and one speed, hell bent for destruction.

You could not have set the bar lower.
That is like being the best yodeler in Harlem.

I drove one of those once, belonged to a farmer my Dad and I were shelling corn for. LOVED IT!
My uncle had a '56 GMC with a 5-speed "crashbox" (can you say "double-clutch"?) I had to drive that thing one day helping him in the corn field, following the chopper. I got good with shifting it by quitting time, but my left leg felt like it was about to fall off! :rotf:

My 67 Land Rover series IIA has 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, double clutch, push button start all of which makes it absolutely theft proof. :-)
