good thing you've never had the feeling that you weren't at home in your own body, living half your life feeling disconnected and wrong because a string of dna determined that you were to be born as the opposite gender. it's great you've never had to feel disgust looking down at yourself because your body parts don't look the way your mind believes they should. i'm glad you've never felt the disrespect of someone calling you she or he or the other way around when you've been struggling your whole life to feel at home in your own skin. so sure, call caitlyn a he because biology determines it so if that's what floats your boat. but she is caitlyn. she always has been.
As a
REAL women, I am insulted by this entire situation. He has not gone through any of the hardships that us women have to endure. He has not done anything to deserve the title of woman. If paying thousands of dollars to be some science experiment automatically gives you the "right" to be compared to a
REAL woman, then that says how little women actually mean in the world.
Does it really matter that much to you that he decided to become a woman? It's not like it directly effects your life. Also, at the end of the day, Caitlyn is still a human being. That should be enough for you to have the decency to treat her with some respect.
Also, who are you to say what a
REAL woman is? Now, Caitlyn is a
REAL woman, whether you like it or not.
