Uhhhhhhhhh . . . Richard . . .

in this case . . .

"better late than never"

does NOT apply.

Your train left that station many years ago.

Richard is 67 and Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner is 65....I guess 65 is the new 45! Or maybe Medicare is paying for these surgeries now.

Oh, Dear Me.

I didn't realize Jenner was that old, too.

What is with all this brain fade stuff at those ages?

Are they THAT starved for another 15 min of fame?

Jenner was an athlete, so his 65 years is probably not your grandmother's 65. Simmons was a fitness guru, so his 67 probably isn't either. Maybe they still "feel" hot and age doesn't matter at this stage and they want to look like they feel.

In the interim, they will have TV interviews, reality television shows, write books, and design their own fashion lines and beauty treatments. $$$$$$$$$ More fame and fortune! Just for a different reason. Maybe they have hit on something here.

simmons, you go girl.

Good points.

Sigh.

I think I liked the 1950's more.

WHO CARES!!!

What a sex pot.

Take responsibility for your own feelings. If you feel uncomfortable, own it. It's not his doing.

Wow, taking responsibility for your own feelings isn't very "progressive".
That only applies to gay guys, though, right? It would be a crime if a cis gender straight man was the subject, eh?

I don't see how this is news. Didn't really see how Jenner was, either, but it is what it is. If he is transitioning (which I seriously doubt, FWIW) then more power to him. Richard's always been a HUGE, HUGE advocate for being yourself & learning to love yourself. He might be hyperactive & "weird" to some, but the man has a damned good point with that.

No,you're responsible for you & your feewers. On the other hand, it's also up to you to not be a dick & make someone miserable with your words/actions, so there's that bit of responsibility. If some super-happy fitness guru makes you uncomfortable (which is NOT the same as miserable) then buck up, snowflake.
