General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Caitlyn Jenner 24/7/365. Chelsea Manning? (crickets) [View all]jberryhill
(62,444 posts)I expressed my opinion of Jenner.
The OP is not about "Jenner's transition".
The OP poses the question of why Jenner has gotten so much publicity, whereas Manning has not.
The reason is that Jenner is a media personality, and has been one for a while. That observation is directly relevant to the question posed in the OP. The OP is about "Jenner's fame" and its origins, and is not a discussion of trans people in any larger, more general sense whatsoever.
As I had posted elsewhere, "A vacuous media personality has made an important development in her life."
I said nothing about any community whatsoever. My own son, formerly my daughter, had transitioned to be who he is today, and is a wonderful person. Jenner is not. So, do tell me about my "agenda".
I'm sorry that you believe my opinion about any individual needs to be informed by with what classification of persons they may be grouped.
Ben Carson is an African-American political candidate. He is also one of the leading morons of our time. That he is African American has nothing to do with him being a moron, and it is not "concern trolling" to express my opinion on his aptitude for the office of president either.
And, as you seem to be interested in me and my motivations, I sent the alert on the one-post troll who joined the thread below.
