I love the name choice! and I'm very impressed how good she looks. Damn, I need Vanity Fair to take pictures of me!

So glad she's finally making it all public. I hope she has a good next stage of her life.

I can't believe she had everything chopped, smoothed, and stuffed at once

I did not know she'd done all that already. . I thought she had just had facial surgery to look more fem.

Huh...more power to her then :)

Indeed. I dislike how this is being touted as not normal. On the contrary, modern medicine has allowed for normalcy to be achieved in this instance, where biology came up short pairing a body, with a brain, that were in conflict.

It irks me when people think all norms are norms because that's the way it been and that's the way it has to stay. Some yes, some no. I also dislike when that line of thinking is taken to the absurd as an argument against changes.

"Daddy, why can't I just kill people that piss me off? Why do I have to go to jail for that?"

"I don't know son, that's just the way it is. I know it's not fair, but life is often not fair."

Just shut the fuck up.

I love it that the same people who demand we stay out of their business are the same ones demanding she's some kind of freak. I'm talking about the libertarians.

In other news, who is responsible for determining what is or is not "normal"?

Normal can be several things, but I think in this instance it's what's widely accepted by the society and culture you live in. Unfortunately, normal, for a very long time, equated even non-harmful things as not normal. As long as the people, and the gov. supporting them, decided being gay was abnormal (i.e., harmful) whether anything or actual proofs ever supported that assertion, didn't matter...that was...the norm.

I'd like to think we're stepping into an age where more than imaginings, or a majority prejudice, gets to dictate and assign what's harmful. Where, "just 'cause", no longer gets credence, and where you damn well better be able to prove that something is actually harmful to society before you disenfranchise or suppress it.
