So, the doctor regrets the gender change! Yeah, Right! I'm sure he regretted it all the way to the bank. I'm also sure he will go broke with all the other gender change operations he will do, after becoming famous for Caitlyn's. These are my comments.

After engaging in answers from another question, last night, from one of our members, who underwent a transgender change, I am much less cynical about those brave persons who have the surgery. If Bruce wanted to spend 4 Mil to become Caitlyn, that's not anyone's business but hers. The author of this article will not agree she deserves any rewards. I do agree she is not a hero, but she is brave for coming out to a less than respectful following. The Authors Credentials- Walt Heyer is an accomplished author and public speaker with a passion for mentoring individuals whose lives have been torn apart by unnecessary gender-change surgery.

Here's The Poop:

Transgender (hero) ? Caitlyn Jenner receives an award tonight for courage. But a doctor who regrets his gender change is a better candidate for such an award.
Caitlyn nee Bruce Jenner is slated to accept the Arthur Ashe Courage Award from ESPN at a Los Angeles gala tonight. The Arthur Ashe award is given to individuals who show strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of peril, and willingness to stand up for their beliefs, no matter the costs. Jenner does not smack of courage at this point in his life. Insanity perhaps is a better fit: glorifying a transgender life by spending $4 million on a gender change.

Frankly it's a non issue to me, so many other issues!

Climate change, national debt, homeless/jobless veterans, general unemployment in the US, Pluto being discovered, and should ketchup be put on hot dogs. So many more important issues.

When I see the horrific transformation of Bruce Jenner all I see is Frankenstein's monster. His body, mutilated for the world to see is the left's perfect masterpiece showing the world and God how reprobate and profane it truly is.

The more one focuses on social issues, the more it becomes a problem. As long as it isn't obscene (in the eyes of the government), one shouldn't be affected by it. You may see it as obscene for religious purposes, but keep in mind that is the opinion you hold. I can care less about what others do, it doesn't not affect me at all. Those who want to become transgendered because they have mental issues, well so be it, it wouldn't affect anyone unless they had mental issues. As far as homosexuality being considered a mental illness, it's not longer considered that by psychologists, and psychiatrists. Reason being, because one is still functional and can function in everyday society without being a harm to themselves and others.

Now, about the global warming and our national debt.

SrA Edward Vong - This is more a mental health issue and combining the mentally ill with military service. The folks who wrote military regs were smarter than you or I and I suspect they weren't consumed with political correctness at all costs like the last couple of generations. They were able to see the forest and trees, unlike those who endorse serving with transgender individuals. The military, as others have rightly commented, is not about or sustained by the rights, pleasures or needs of the individual. It's all about the battle buddy, the squad, the platoon, the unit the command, and the country cohesiveness. It's about the starkest reality, not about an individual's delusion or fantasy.

Putting the military aside, I am speaking on this issue in regards to society. The military is one thing and a completely different topic.

When it comes to the military, well that's pretty black and white. I will neither agree nor disagree with you on military policy on transgendered.

OK, so will I by giving you a couple of quotes from men whom I highly respect and who may perhaps be able to use their powers of persuasion;
General Douglas MacArthur warned us, "History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline."
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” ― Samuel Adams
"The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and who directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing." Thomas Jefferson

I am surprised at how many people do not see this as a publicity stunt! Think about it... Bruce was an Olympic star at one time, then what? His now wifes daughters are high publicity, big money makers, he cannot get into movies, commercials, etc... OMG, the thought of actually getting a job!!!

Im sure years from now it will all come out that this was a publicity stunt and Bruce is still Bruce using Caitlyns clothes! Transgender issues were in the news before Caitlyn but out of all the other "news" issues where he could claim media fame and get paid what other choice did he have? Run for President, Go fight ISIS, ...think about it!
