Did you guys see this? Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner compared to minis.

Oh Lord...help us all...

To be accurate, these are not minis in the sense that we appreciate them. These are Barbie doll sized toys made of cloth and plastic. Not sure what sort of model making and scale craftsmanship go into this, but it's appreciable nonetheless.

Second, and apologies to anyone in advance to whom this may offend, but I find the whole thing ridiculous. I find the person of Mr(s) Jenner ridiculous. I find the media attention ridiculous. I find it ridiculous that a man whom lost limbs in combat would place second to an attention crazed man suffering from a mental disorder for a bravery award. The whole family is psycho, and no matter how many people in Hollywood tell me I have to honor and respect him, I will not. That is all :)

BoK I have to agree that lauding Caitlyn Jenner as a hero is somewhat inaccurate.

BUT I have to say that it does take courage to stand up as Transgender, because there is still a hell of a lot of prejudice, ignorance and bigotry about it.

As for the kardashians, well to be honest when someone in my office first mentioned the kardashians show, I thought it was a documentary about a former Soviet Satellite State, which probably would have been a damn site more interesting.

Heheheheh. (Title made me leery...thought we were gonna be seeing some celebrity-mini comparisons or something)

Agreed, DR. If Caitlyn is having a positive influence, I'd say it's to somewhat normalize people's perception of trans folks--the more it seems like old news, the less violent a reaction people will have to the existence of trans individuals, maybe. If she promotes understanding, go her.

I do think it's absurd to make bravery into a competition like that.
 
Yes, the very notion of ranking bravery is foolish and undermines the value we place on acts of courage.

But I will go further and state that for every second that our nationally televised, mainstream media spends focussing on how sexy "Caitlyn" now appears, or how (s)he has stolen Kim's "glam squad, rather than focussing on stories of substance, such as the crucifixation of young children by ISIS thugs, or the common lynch mob mentality of Gautemalen citizens who burn teenage girls to death in the streets, or even covering the campaigning of a much needed leader to sit in the White House, for every second we choose the former before the latter, we become an absurd people. We have become a gross abomination of our former selves, unrecognizably so, where strong armed robbers are called "the Gentle Giant," and things like truth and fact fall secondary to race and victimhood. Journalists prefer the narrative of teenagers before parent, criminals before officers, offenders before the offended. With access to more information than at any time, we are now the most ignorant people we have ever been. Up is down and light is darkness. This paradox is rooted in our Liberal education in public schools where Unions push an agenda that controls information from the beginning of an American's life. Then the American child is subjected to a popular media that is radically leftist, and verifiably so. Finally, our institutions of higher learning have become think tanks for socialist causes. It's amazing that America is polarized today, that there is any Republican Party at all. I blame common sense.

One day, Child Protective Service will come to your house and take your children from you if you teach them that homosexuality and transgenderism are mental health disorders. One day soon. I make no apologies for my stance on this issue. I am not advocating banning anything or discriminating against anyone. I ask only to be permitted to hold my beliefs and pass them on to my future children.

Oh wait, this is a miniature painting and sculpting forum....errr...I mean, I need to paint a diorama that shows how I feel about this issue :)
