Can I say something?
I friend of mine posted this on Facebook, and I think they make a good point. This has nothing to do with supporting her plastic surgery or not, we are both in support of it, and its great, but its caused some controversy in the sport's world....
Here is the thing:
Keep in mind, these words are NOT my own.
This is a direct screen shot of THEIR post.
YES! CAITLYN JENNER HAS MY FULL SUPPORT! AN AWESOME MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR TRANS ROLE MODELS AND A PROGRESSIVE SOCIETY!!!
BUT.... Awarding her a Sport's Award for COURAGE? Sure, it takes courage to Come Out.... I do believe that. But I Believe the other candidates mentioned in my friend's post deserve it more for overcoming such adversities, such as cancer, amputation, rather than getting a damn good sex change (as amazing of an impact as that leaves, as I mentioned).
This thread is HOW GORGEOUS? She is SUPER GORGEOUS. STUNNING. FABULOUS.
But Caitlyn Jenner does not measure up to courageous compared to those other Sport's Candidates.
She should be commended for MANY, MANY great things. But give the Courage award to someone else.
