About her not having completed her transformation yet...

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Caitlyn isn't waiting to have her penis removed, but maybe she wasn't approved for her surgery.

The truth is we may never know because of doctor patient confidentiality, but think about it. There is a possibility that Caitlyn hasn't met the psychological criteria to be approved for such a surgery. So while she is becoming famous exploiting her identification as a woman as she be mouths other transgender people, it my be that she isn't allowed to complete her transformation. At least not here in the U.S.

Think about it. If you have felt you were trapped in the wrong body all this time & you go public sharing the huge moment, not to mention to make money off of it and you do have the money to pay for the surgery, would you really hold off on the surgery to complete your transformation?

This is something Caitlyn has felt for over 30 years, she made a HUGE telvised event about transformation day, and now she's holding off? I think there's more to it than she is letting on.

I think there's more to it than she is letting on.

My opinion: I think Bruce is a man who is attracted to frilly, women's things -- and that he wants to remain a man. He labels himself "trans" because in his mind, this is more socially acceptable and politically correct.

If you criticize a man in a dress, you may be justified, and people may agree with you. But, if you criticize a person for being "trans," then you are a troglodyte, insensitive -- and not a very nice person.

The onus, then, shifts to the public to accept Bruce, not for Bruce to conform to the rest society's norms.

I totally agree. Many of the late-transitioners, those that made the transition later in life after living for years as heterosexual males, are autogynephiles. They start out dressing like gutter slut hookers and chronically masturbating in their get ups. Sometimes going out and having sex with men while dressed that way behind their wife or girlfriends back. Then when they take this all seriously deciding they want to transition they will say how they were always a troubled, feminine soul whose strict religion and family wouldn't allow them to transition at a young age, so they did what every normal, healthy male would do, they went out got a wife and started fathering children. Now they are trying to get acceptance and sympathy so they change their story around to suite them.

I third that.
There are Trangender-females...... and then there is Bruce-Cait-Jenner.
Big difference.
And I think that most actual Transgender-females would agree that there is a difference between those people who think they are TG-females, and then those who actually are TG-females.
And it has nothing to do with "passing" as TG because there are TG females who don't look especially girly looking but are TG. However, after a year, Jenner's comments have proven that Jenner is mostly just a fetish-loving-cross-dresser.Too bad that the Media jumped so quickly in praising Jenner, and basically raising his status as a "hero".

The more you see of this superficial, self-absorbed person the less there is to admire or even tolerate.

If sHe has presented herself as a transexual when it looks to the whole world as though sHe is, at best, a cross dresser, then it seems likely that sHe presented herself as a transexual because sHe thought there was more drama and potential money in it.

Laverite,
Also, the Media is at fault because the Media jumped immediately at raising the status of CJenner as a HERO, and as a WONDER-WOMAN,--- before even doing it's homework!

There are actual Transgender females, who are better educated on the subject, and most importantly, there are actual TG-females out there who have helped the LGBT community, but unfortunately the Media chose to ignore those pivotal people, and instead jumped full steam ahead to plaster Bruce-Cait-Jenner all over the magazines, giving her/him non-deserving Awards, etc. The Media did it for MONEY, and we as Society got stuck having to hear about Jenner...."the hero"...for a year!

The Media's "hero" made TONS of money off of the Media's mistake.
So basically, the Media and Bruce-Cait-Jenner are now quite wealthy.
However, all that did was to make a mockery of the LGBT community, and the TG-females especially.
There is a BIG reason why Janet Mock has stayed away from this entire Jenner phenomenon!
