Here's the thing: Caitlyn Jenner isn't a woman. Everything else is bullshit. It doesn't matter what Caitlyn calls himself, or what he thinks or feels like inside his head. He's a man playing as a woman because he wants to do so, but it doesn't change what he is.
Maybe in the future he'll get surgery and alter that classification, but until then, everything else that can be said about him is bullshit.

I thought he had the surgery. In any event, just because you mutilate your penis and shove it in your abdomen doesn't negate the fact that you still have a penis. Whatever Bruce wants to call himself, and whatever surgery he gets done he'll always be a male in my book.

There is a new line of thinking when dealing with the those who suffer delusions, such as those with Alzheimer's, that believes the best way to handle the delusions is to just play along. Its easier for all involved. Jenner is a dude who had cosmetic surgery to better fit his desires. I dont know if its caused by delusions, but something is 'different' there. I say let him have this. It's no skin off my back.
(I feel sex changes are nothing but genital mutilation)

How far do we allow these delusions to go?
Do you recommend he use womens' bathrooms? Can he apply for federal aid as a woman? Should he be allowed to stay at a safe home for battered women?
Or do we instead recognize this for what it is--a man with delusions of being or wanting to be a woman? He has every right to dress and act however he wants, but I don't think it's helping anyone to cater to the delusion by pretending he's something that he is not. At the least, society shouldn't have to bend so willingly or so far to satisfy a very small number of individuals suffering from gender confusion.
