lunate: for all the shitheads continuing to throw a tantrum over Caitlyn Jenner being called a hero when “soldiers are the real heroes,” lemme throw some numbers at you real quick: during the deadliest war in American history (the Civil War), U.S. soldiers had a 1 in 15 chance of dying [x]. currently, trans women have a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered, or 1 in 8 for trans women of color [x]. it is currently MORE DANGEROUS to be a trans woman in the U.S. than it is to have fought in the deadliest war in our history. let that sink in as you sit the fuck down.

So someone caused a hit in run that resulted in a death, said they didn’t support gay marriage, and was an all around asshole to people (as seen on their TV show) should be called a hero?

How the fuck does “chances of dying” mean jack shit about being a hero? They’ve caused so much harm, but did one thing and BOOM instant hero. Let someone’s actions speak for themselves.

lol “sit the fuck down"

Take a gander at the photos of the wreck and consider that Caitlyn has never apologized for Kim Howe’s death even though she clearly caused it.

This is not the trans woman to make your poster child, preach somewhere else.
