WTF? Really?

 

 

The 66-year-old I Am Cait star (formerly known as Bruce) set a world decathlon record at the 1976 Montreal Summer Games. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her win, she’ll pose with her gold medal for the first time post-transition, adds the source: “She’s excited about that.” (Her ex-wife Kris appeared topless with a medal during a 2007 photo shoot on Keeping Up

Just trying to sell magazines, I guess. Gotta be a tough hustle these days.

[Bang]

Attention whore gets attention.

 

Weird how that works.

[tshile]

it is specifically outlined that the flag is not to be used as clothing

 

i get that majority of people don't care, just pointing that out.

[Momma There Goes That Man]

I'll be honest, if this were Katy Perry...I wouldn't care at all.

[Momma There Goes That Man]

Actually I don't really care now.

But if it were Katy Perry, id consider buying the magazine

If I find the picture unpleasant is it because of agism, transphobia, toxic masculinity, or am I simply of a victim of the white patriarchy's hetero-normative standards of ideal beauty? 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Would expect this from espn the magazine, not so much Sports Illustrated.  Disappointing.

So is this what the swimsuit edition will be from now on?

Yes. 

[Major Harris]

Do u ever wonder what will be normal in 30 years?

I'm glad that Caitlin Jenner is making huge strides in advancement of transgendered and questioning people. She is an idol and role model to the millions of trans people in America.

Thread title had me quite excited....you SOB!

You can't find a transgender sexy? You bigot.

[CRobi21]

You can't find a transgender sexy? You bigot.

Umm, Caitlyns a brunette?

Im strictly a 'blonde' man.

[Major Harris]

Ok, bigotry against brunette will pass the social acceptability test. You're good.

[Destino]

If SI really wanted to do something, they could have put a current trans athlete on the cover and highlighted several of them in the magazine.  Caitlyn is a million years old, rich, and republican.  She's as representative of current trans athletes as Donald Trump is of average oompa loompas still toiling within the tyranny of the chocolate factory. 

[twa]

But it is famous which renders your point moot.

[GhostofSparta]

Buckle up, buckaroo.

[justice98]

He left Bruce behind, except when it comes to being remembered as an Olympic medalist. Then he's all in.

[Gamebreaker]

Is she posing beside the car she uses to run people over with?

[Larry]

He left Bruce behind, except when it comes to being remembered as an Olympic medalist. Then he's all in.

Yeah, you're right.

When he changed gender, then those Olympic medals don't count as accomplishments, any more.

I saw the thread title and got myself all worked up (which takes the better part of two hours in the mornings after drinking the night before) and then click to see this. Well now I can't just let it go. It'd mean I wasted my whole morning. Besides, I'll try anything once.

Betrayed by my dirty mind.
