That's because Caitlyn Jenner is rich.

It's really simple, friends.

Yo Google is not doing its part, alert the authority or your citizenship may be at risk.

TIL she's 75.

Obviously she's had some work done, but goddamn that is a lot of work.

I just wasn't expecting a full plastic person! And I suppose they do say estrogen supplements are good for the skin.

seeing alot of transphobia in the comments, light and probably accidental but yes deadnaming caitlyn is transphobia even if she fucking sucks.

it shows the trans people here that your acceptance is conditional on us agreeing with you.

you can call her out for her bs without deadnaming her

The reply to her tweet is on point, though. Any more deadnaming is just deadnaming.

Anyway, I would gladly provide her with HRT and send her to a labor camp as an enemy of the people.

Not exactly. If anything it's conditional on you not selling your allies/kin down the river.

Except that by misgendering her you're causing harm to the trans community as a whole. We don't misgender cisgender people when they are bad people. Misgendering transgender people who do bad things only shows that respecting transgender identity is conditional and can be revoked by other people. It's not. It's who we are. Even if someone is a trash fire human being they still should be gendered correctly.

Transphobes will read comments misgendering or deadnaming Caitlyn and cheer along. There are far, far better ways to vocalize disapproval of her. Ways that don't hurt other trans people.

We don’t misgender cisgender people when they are bad people.

We don't? I could have sworn cisgender people do that to insult each other all the time. It's like a classic insult.

Discussing acceptable insults, while technically possible, seems somewhat irrational. The concept of an ethical insult doesn't make total sense.

If this post doesn't get deleted, I'm gone. This just shows again that lemmy.world is filled with transphobes and that the mods endorse them. I will look for an instance that doesn't federate with them.

wait how is the above transphobic? I thought it was a leopard-face-eating situation

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Someone being a bad person is not an excuse to deadname them.

[–] ExtremeDullard@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Normally I would agree. But in this instance, the very fact that Jenner is trans and voluntarily having her face eaten by leopards is at the core of the issue. So you can't really tiptoe around the subject in this instance. She's totally doing this to herself.
