Caitlyn Jenner to Receive Arthur Ashe Award for Courage

We are now giving mentally ill people awards for being mentally ill?

Last year is was given to Michael Sam.

If you don't think ESPN has a political agenda you haven't been paying attention.

I would've laughed about this--but then I read some of the rant comments on Jenner's sex change, including: •Should be put in psych ward • Should be given shock therapy • Should be everything short of gassed in a concentration camp Reading screed after murderous screed, I began thinking, "damn, this broad has stones to come out like this. She's got a huge bullseye on her back … or crotch more likely."

Doesn't take much stones for a rich white guy to survive as a transgender in Malibu. A poor white transgender walking the streets of Harlem would take some stones but not Bruce. It's all talk and bullshite but essentially he lives in an area of the country that is perfectly ok with his gender.

Again, read some rant comments about this "issue": and consider there are plenty of nut jobs out walking around who would be happy to cause great violence to Jenner. Then tell me it takes no courage for a high-profile person to do what feels right for him–or her. Or … ah, frick this.

He has a security team and his house has cameras all over the place. Everyone in the public eye has to deal with crazies but I don't see people stalking Bruce Jenner down to inflict harm on him in the way that they would the president or another high profile position. They gay community in Cali is rather large and accepting.

Now lets take a look at a black president. Let's compare to the two. I would say it takes a hell of alot more courage to be Obama than it does the Rich white guy in Malibu.

Bruce Jenner does not have any physically female characteristics. He does not have ovaries. He does not have a vagina, nor was he born with one. He has 1 Y chromosome. Bruce Jenner is a man, 100%, with a mental illness. The current promotion of genital mutilation as a treatment for mental illness is on the same level as the proscription of lobotomization for people with Schizophrenia in the 19th century. Physical mutilation has never been a humane treatment for the mentally ill, and yet psychiatry continues to find new ways to inflict it on the most vulnerable of society. What is being done in the name of 'gender freedom' is insane, inhumane, and repulsive. If Bruce Jenner believed himself to be a dog, would anyone argue he should have his fingers cut off and his pelvis broken so that he would more closely resemble a dog to an observer? The answer is no, but that is exactly what is being lauded now as the treatment.

In fact, of all the physical mutilations over the years that psychiatric 'medicine' has prescribed over the years (electro-shock, lobotomization, Exorcism, the list goes on), genital mutilation and removal might be the most dangerous and destructive to the patient. No demographic in America has a higher suicide risk than people who have undergone genital mutilation due to mental illness.

A 2011 study at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden produced the most illuminating results yet regarding the transgendered, evidence that should give advocates pause. The long-term study—up to 30 years—followed 324 people who had sex-reassignment surgery. The study revealed that beginning about 10 years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable nontransgender population.

WSJ

There is statistically nothing worse that a doctor can do to increase the suicide chances of their patient than prescribe gential mutilation. No one is changing genders; we are just inflicting physical harm upon vulnerable people and then calling it medicine. We should be pitying Bruce Jenner; not for his desire to get treatment for his mental condition, but for the acts inflicted upon him in the name of gender freedom and psychiatric experimentation.

A fine kettle of fish, indeed

Hell, the michael sam brouhaha basically stole the show at the ESPYs last year, but Stuart Scott's (RIP ) farewell won the day.

Now we're going to ruin this year's ESPYs for this nonsense.

First openly gay NFL player/draftee. That would take some courage, knowing that you will be judged by that partially.

Jenner is the 100th/10000th? transexual/transgender person just living.

Sam's award I am okay with, Jenner, NO WAY!

frick that bullshite. It doesn't take courage to do that.
