Fully agree. And a particularly cynical use or misuse of the word 'courage' abounds in the media. Bleating sheep tripping over each other to give serious faced accolades to a person who suffers from mental illness.

Awards mean nothing anymore. Remember Obama getting the Nobel Peace prize a few months into his first term? It reminds me of that other culture supremo, Montel Williams, having his audience give incessant standing ovations to complete misfits for walking onto his stage and not tripping or falling. Just give out praise and awards to everybody - a meritorious life of sacrifice means squat to the ever so progressive lobbies.

Bring Obama into the thread, liken him to Montel Williams, and then move on to the ever so progressive lobbies. No need for a Guest pass to the Political Forum.

I do, but something about this hits me wrong.. Our media is out of control on this story.

:BigApplause: I agree nothing but keeping names in the wacky lime light. The ex getting paid for her interviews as we speak, next will be the talk shows circuit for the bunch. All getting paid for nothing.

Those are gone!
I do not really know for sure but I thought that was a major element(s) of trans-gender.

Mr. Jenner needs a psychiatrist. That's all I will say about this.

He said on his public interview that he was still attracted to women.

And he gave his political leanings too.

This is what our country is coming to.... Everything is upside down. World embarrassment.

I firmly believe that every person has the right to choose to change there look/gender if they should desire. The choice is there's alone.

But....Being given an award for his courage/ability to change himself..........I think other deeds are better deserving

I disagree.
This is what the special interest groups, their lawyers, their politicians all amplified by the biased media would have evrybody think is normal or right.

Turn off the electronic connections and go out and about and travel and take in a whole different world that is much like most of us grew up with. People are usually friendly. The don't care what your race or religion or politcal leaning is or is not.....and they certainly don't care what sex preference you have walking down the street.

We should demand equal time from all our sources information to advise us about the good things that are going on around us.....you know....what the other 95% of the human race is ACTUALLY doing and saying. What a treat that would be!

Well he is not female (in appearance if not genetically) from top to bottom - yet, if he ever will be.

Fame and fortune for this? What a world!

This is an insult to all those who have won this award in the past including the namesake Arthur Ashe, it cheapens the award they won and deserved.
