i am extremely amused by the fact the OP thinks they are a wicked cool troll and has fooled everyone and the reason more people aren't calling them out isn't because moderation doesn't like trollnaming

It's easy for one to use images of death and suffering to justify their own beliefs when one has never experienced the death and suffering the group they are exploiting go through.

Not even many trans people are fans of Jenner. The issue taken with your post is the broad statements against the state of being trans itself and not the fact that they were directed at Jenner.

Regardless of who deserved to win an award, transitioning is a might more emotionally strenuous not only for personal reasons but for how the culture we live in still regards trans people than you dismissively regard it. This is a world where people can and have gotten brutally murdered if not just treated like a goddamn grotesque monster for trying to undergo a heavy but very necessary life phase in order to truly be content with themselves as a human. Jenner or no Jenner, soldiers or no soldiers, "chopping off your balls" as you so eloquently put it takes a lot more balls than you give it credit.

Indeed Jenner is for many trans people a pariah who has no actual understanding of the issues most trans people face.

Why do you care so much about a Sports networks award? And how does Caitlyn not qualify? She clearly did if she recieved it. And its not like they can only give one reward. Fuck, they can give out as many awards as they want. Maybe, just maybe, ESPN cares more about publicity and gave it to Caitlyn, a popular figure during the news at the time and still a bigtime celebrity, to benefit their own network.

And comparing the amount of "good" either did is arbitrary as fuck. What qualifies as "good for the USA" here? I can set up my definition of good here and say Caitlyn did more for the USA by winning olympic gold and not participating in the illegal invasion of Iraq. See? Arbitrary. It doesn't matter.

Really one of the worst baits I've ever seen. The ones that are so subtle that can be seen as legitimate arguments are the best ones; this, however, is just sad.

So the OP has realized how ridiculous this idea was? If so, I'd call that a happy ending.

You realize that it's not about "patriarchy's male privilege" it's going on with transgender 'men' too. As a feminist you should be in full support of this behavior, and this "cultural appropriation" is absolute bs.
