That's because Caitlyn Jenner is rich.

It's really simple, friends.

TIL she's 75.

Obviously she's had some work done, but goddamn that is a lot of work.

I just wasn't expecting a full plastic person! And I suppose they do say estrogen supplements are good for the skin.

Plus being a professional track and field star makes for a great foundation into the later years.

seeing alot of transphobia in the comments, light and probably accidental but yes deadnaming caitlyn is transphobia even if she fucking sucks.

it shows the trans people here that your acceptance is conditional on us agreeing with you.

you can call her out for her bs without deadnaming her

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 57 points 1 week ago

The reply to her tweet is on point, though. Any more deadnaming is just deadnaming.

Anyway, I would gladly provide her with HRT and send her to a labor camp as an enemy of the people.

is conditional on us agreeing with you.

Not exactly. If anything it's conditional on you not selling your allies/kin down the river.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Except that by misgendering her you're causing harm to the trans community as a whole. We don't misgender cisgender people when they are bad people. Misgendering transgender people who do bad things only shows that respecting transgender identity is conditional and can be revoked by other people. It's not. It's who we are. Even if someone is a trash fire human being they still should be gendered correctly.

Transphobes will read comments misgendering or deadnaming Caitlyn and cheer along. There are far, far better ways to vocalize disapproval of her. Ways that don't hurt other trans people.

We don't? I could have sworn cisgender people do that to insult each other all the time. It's like a classic insult.

Discussing acceptable insults, while technically possible, seems somewhat irrational. The concept of an ethical insult doesn't make total sense.

would you call Candace Owens the n word? bigotry is about you, not the person you subject it to.

I feel like accepting a trans person is, in fact, conditional on their support for other trans people. Like, it doesn't have to be their whole personality, but full-throatedly supporting the anti-trans administration is the exact opposite of supporting the trans community.

Oh noes, the target of the insult is insulted in a way the target would not approve. It's like the insult is meant to inflict abuse on the target. Logic circuits breaking down. What will society do?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Insult Caitlin Jenner about everything else she's a horrible person about. She killed a person, she supports a fascist, she's an adultular, a narcissist, was on the Kardashians, seriously take your pick. I could talk trash about Caitlin Jenner for a long time without ever bringing up her transition. I don't need to be transphobic to "inflict abuse".

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

The reason people are pin pointing her transition is because she’s actively advocating for a world in which she is deadnamed. She is asking for it, it is mean to show her again how it feels and how stupid she is.

This is gonna be one of those 'oh, my transition was done during the previous administration, so THIS administrations rules rules don't apply to me' cases.

They Still Call Me Bruce Part II: Transgender Boogaloo

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

Hot take: she came out as trans to cover up the story of her hitting and killing someone with her car

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

maybe. maybe not. In the end not for us to decide.

But tbh, if that were the case, she wouldn't have "stuck to the act" for so long.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not saying she's not trans I just think it's convenient. Like Kevin spacey coming out as gay, right as the allegations happen

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 1 week ago

oh, absolutely great timing to dilute the news, agreed

She was trans but came out to play for sympathy, just like Kevin spacey coming out as gay right as he was accused of being a rapist
