Courage? **** that. It wasn't something that had to be done. At this point he's a God damned attention whore. Period. |

Theoretically, all of those things can also apply to the young lady you're endorsing for your precious award. To people struggling with the same feelings as Caitlyn/Bruce, I'm sure her coming out meant a lot to them. Just because you don't agree with the cause doesn't mean it didn't do any good for others.

I don't give a shit about this award, I just think it's a travesty to give it to Attention Whore Jenner. |

Yeah, I don't know how you can call him/her an attention whore. He was all on the downlow and then the world started creeping looking for any sign of the change.

I know what she died of, and I know what she did before she died. I think what she did prior to her death was wonderful. My point is not that she doesn't deserve any recognition. My point is that you writing off Caitlyn/Bruce for doing something that some consider brave just because you don't agree with its cause is silly.

Uh, it really was. Do you think someone of her stature could just show up one day in a dress and wig with some bolt on tits and the world would have kept on the humming without a second thought? |

This crap is a life decision that in no way, shape, or form is courageous.

Courage comes in MANY forms and it certainly doesn't have to be a competition like you idiots make it out to be. Is the kid that stands up to the bully not courageous because there's a firefighter running into a burning building somewhere? Is the woman that decides to leave her abusive boyfriend not courageous because there's a soldier fighting a war somewhere? |

I didn't intend to write a damn book on all the ways to be courageous. Eric Berry's fight with cancer comes to mind given it needs to be an athlete. Becoming a drag queen is not courageous.

(At the risk of sounding insensitive) Does fighting cancer make you courageous? It's not like there's really much choice. You fight it or you die. |

I'm sure this hasn't all been an easy road of love and attention for Caitlyn as you guys all seem to want to believe. I'm sure she's had all sorts of nasty hateful shit sent her way through twitter and such, and probably has even had nasty shit yelled at her as she's walked down the street. And why? Because she wanted to live a life that felt more normal to her? Yeah, it took some balls to make that move. |

Words have never hurt or affected Mr. Kotter in any way. Got it.
