Yes “transphobia” is real, I live with it daily but how many Trans people do people outside of our circle know?
I am lucky my body reacted well to hormones but some don’t …… we have to live within the limits god we have like it or not it’s human nature to “stare” at someone different. That does not automatically make those starring transphobic though.

Now Jenner needs a kick in the arse, Jenner is making a mockery of “the change” and turning it into a circus!!!!

Don’t support Jenner till we see something that deserves our support.

I don’t find it Transphobic. Why, they have bets on everything. She will have to choose a new name,so bet on one. Whats the issue? I find it refreshingly normal actually.

Read the article and look at the language… Cutting of his balls, sex change… This language does not promote tolerance or acceptance. It’s not a case of any publicity is good publicity. Unless you are a trans*, how about we stop putting words in their mouths and telling people trans* or not to get over it. It’s articles like this that push some trans* members to suicide/self harm/substance abuse and that’s the bottom line. Support needs to be positive and not a take what you can get – having an attitude like that is unhelpful and uneducated.

You can bet on other events in the media like sports and awards.
it’s Bruce Jenner choosing to make it a media event so what’s the difference?

Jenner has already sold the transitioning story to TV, it’s hardly credible to turn around and condemn Sportsbet for offering odds. No doubt the publicity machine that is the Kardashians would welcome the attention.

In reply to A Robin Ellwood. Shouldn't we be giving Bruce Jenner support by denouncing a "bet/gamble" on him/her and trivialising a very serious matter that is gender identification and transition. This. Is. No. Game.
