There is a debate, and much confusion, among some whether the person who now calls himself Caitlyn Jenner is now somehow a woman, from Harry Bruinius, Christian Science Monitor:
Some radical feminists say that males who transition to females can hardly embody the unique experiences, both physically and culturally, that constitute being an authentic female. The photos of Caitlyn Jenner in Vanity Fair renewed the debate.
By , Staff writer June 8, 2015What it means to be female means has in fact been an angry debate within some feminist circles, scholars say. That debate dates back to the “second wave” of feminism in the 1960s and ’70s, when some thinkers and activists refused to include transgender women as part of their movement for women’s liberation.
Then there are some, such as myself, who are not confused. If Jenner is indeed a woman, how so? What makes Jenner a woman?
Sane people, note that Jenner has both X and Y chromosomes. That he is genetically male. His sexual mating habits have been historically male. Jenner has fathered many children, but given birth to none. Further Bruce seems to be in no hurry to get rid his male parts, those below the belt.
Not only does Jenner claim to be a female. He seems to fancy himself a a female sexual icon. By age sixty-five most biological women have transitioned to the grand-parenting and social cause phase. In stark contrast, Jenner wants to both a female and a female six symbol. Can a porn video be next? Everybody is entitled to delusions. However, nobody is entitled a regard another person’s delusion as if it were a fact.
