Merged Bruce Jenner admits it............he's a Republican

Being a cynic, I would guess that Jenner's interview and recent media appearances have something to do with his/her new TV show:

I don't follow celebrity gossip but I googled "DuckDuckGo'd" and found this:

It also seems that he will not be charged with anything for the rear end collision that resulted in a woman's death, although evidence shows that he ("he" was Bruce at the time as far as I know) was at fault, and that the other vehicles were stopped, or nearly stopped, at a red light...

The images appear to show Jenner's Cadillac Escalade, which was towing a trailer carrying an off-road vehicle, hitting both a white Lexus, driven by Kim Howe, and Jessica Steindorff's black Prius. It also appears to show Howe colliding with a black Hummer driven by Peter Wolf Millesi. Howe, 69, died in the crash.


A source tells ET the series of still photos was shot from two angles by security cameras on a passing public bus and was handed over to investigators by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority shortly after the accident,...

snip ....

Jenner has not been charged with any crime.

I've done a little research and people can be, and often are found to be criminally negligent in such accidents in California. I don't believe Jenner will be prosecuted, but could he be?

I'm not sure how I would take all the media attention and adoration Jenner is receiving if I were a family member of the driver who was killed.
 
No more so than countless other people. Have you seen the sheer number of reality tv shows?

I'm waiting to see the lengths that family will go to grab more attention from the next.

They're the perfect storm for attention whores.

We pay to see the "freaks" at the circus, right?

"Bruce Jenner confirmed the news in an interview with Diane Sawyer that aired on ABC Friday night, clarifying that he is also a Republican and a Christian."

This is a very confusing person. :boggled:

Apparently Bruce likes a political party that want to take away his rights as well as a religion that says he is damned. Not the first time I've seen this kind of doublethink in "homosexual Christians" though, so why not add a few more self delusions on top eh?

Calling something a "mental illness" at certain point come down to a matter of opinion and semantics. Many people call pedophilia a "mental illness" as well, but I'm really not convinced it's necessarily that different from other sexual inclinations, it just so happens to be harmful to society. Homosexual urges can be created in people that previously had no interest in it at all with certain dugs causing hyper sexuality, so we could argue that in this case it's a also mental illness. We could also define the loss of libido later in life as a mental illness if we wanted. I would say I think transgender feelings can be due to a mental illness, or I think we can it's fair to describe as a mental illness defending on your definition of a mental illness. However it will obviously offend people, which is why we won't do it. No one cares about offending pedophiles, which is why we don't care saying it about them for really no good reason other than we find it repulsive and dangerous.

The problem is what type of mental illness? There is no category of mental illnesses which transgenderism fits well into, or has vital common features with. It has superficial features in common with various delusions and conditions like body dysmorphic disorder. The real killer here is however that in those cases, catering to the delusion or attempting to re-model the body in the case of BDD, does not actually help. It doesn't make the person happy or well or reduce the anxiety. It does not have the same comorbidities as those diseases, and so on.

There are some conditions, like Body Integrity Intensity Disorder (manifesting as e.g. an intense desire to amputate a limb) that DO have these things in common with transgenderism, and IIRC those are generally considered to be neurological, rather than mental disorders. although treating them by catering to the wishes is obviously controversial. But it seems very obvious that "mental illness" is not a satisfactory category for transgenderism.

Paedophilia is more complicated, including the very classification of who is a paedophile (I would guess one having persistent, overwhelming paedophilic urges would be a good basic definition). But paedophiles DO appear to show comorbidities more in line with a mental or neuropsychiatric disorder (including a pre-pubertal head trauma correlation, IIRC).
