Wait, Belinda just revealed that she started transitioning in the 1980s, after two marriages and four children. In his 40s, he spent five years taking hormones, etc.

He just killed an innocent woman. That is what should matter.

Huh?

You mean 'Narcissistic,' and which criteria do you think s/he has?

What a stupid thing to say. Yeah, taking hormones and dealing with people's prejudices is just a walk in the park. Sheesh.

I have so much respect for him. Prior to the interview I assumed he was just arrogant. He was so handsome and athletic back in the day and I just assumed he was judgmental and snooty. Then, I saw him on the Kardashians and wasn't impressed. NOW, I'm IMPRESSED.

He was so down to earth and lovely. I think he is once again becoming a hero because I think he will make a difference. I'm a fan now. I used to just be a fan of his talent and looks, but now I'm a fan of the beautiful person he is. I hope he continues to share his story to help others and because I care now.

Me too and I'm so glad everyone in the family is now supporting Bruce.

No way does he have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The arm chair psychology is way off base.

Team Bruce!!!!!

I remember meeting a trans man who dressed as a woman when I was an older teen. He was in his 60s and mentally ill. He started dressing as a woman later in life when his mental illness became more pronounced. He rode a Vespa and had apparently been a bit of a playboy in his younger years. His social worker quietly spread the word to neighbors to keep us kids away from his house. We all thought he was cool, but it was really sad to see how lonely and bizarre he was. He just seemed sad.

I am cheering him on and wish him happiness. He is not alone. His family and close friends are supportive. He started to transition MUCH earlier. He waited this long to really go for it because he wanted to protect his kids. I do not think he is mentally ill at all. I think he is finally mentally at peace.

Thankfully, most people have learned that just because someone is different from you does not make them "abnormal". It simply makes them different from you.

Agree with this. Perhaps we should stop talking about "normal" and instead use the word "typical". Is being transgender typical? No, it isn't. Does it make someone worthy of derisive names like "fruitloop". It most certainly does not.

If you want to judge people, judge them if they are mean, hurtful, selfish, unkind. For something like this? No.

I think she is really brave.

Very impressive, courageous person. I'm so glad her family (including those who are far from the limelight, like her sister and mother) support her. Team Her all the way.

How is this man brave or courageous? He has earned multi-millions of dollars from sheeples by acting in a "reality" TV show. He is a narcissist. He can fake tears, laughs, and everything in between.

The car crash in February....

I believe the car crash is thought to be someone else's fault. There was a car in front that stopped suddenly to make an illegal U turn on a busy and dangerous road. That caused the pile-up.

But even if it was Bruce's fault. Have you never sped? Texted at a stoplight? Looked away from the road? Driven tired or upset? We've all been behind the wheel when sober but not at our best, and most of us have been lucky enough not to hurt or kill anyone. You aren't better than him.

I am soooo confused. I thought he died in a car crash.

I never do these things. Of course not. Doing these things would be similar to getting our a gun when you are angry, handling a gun when drunk, or giving one to a kid. Of course I don't do them.

So if it's all for attention, why did he start the hormones secretly at 40? No way this is for publicity. It's way too hard. Plus, he's already made the money from publicity that he needs to live in complete luxury for the rest of his life. That theory doesn't pass the laugh test.
