For the last day or so some of my less than tolerant associates have posted less than complimentary things about Caitlyn's journey. Obviously, they are not aware of the bravery required/needed to transition. One individual poo-pooed her bravery, and posted a picture of what "real bravery" was about. In doing some research after the fact, he learned the irony in what he'd done. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/06/04/man-gets-ironic-lesson...
Caitlyn Backlash and Irony

Bravery
I have met more than one T woman who in her previous life was filled with hubris and danger seeking. I met a post op in Thailand who had been a black ops soldier in SE Asia. Another said that they had enlisted in the Military to get killed in combat. Among T women this is not uncommon. My own antics don't compare to combat, but I did things in civilian life that frightened the hell out of me, and often felt deep inside that if I did just one more thing that could kill me, I would be validated.
I've not felt very sympathetic to Bruce/Caitlyn because I know how hard and devastating the journey is, so feel cynical about a good outcome.

Just a warning. But please everybody, if you link to site that does that, warn people.
