"I identify as female.. I would never get surgery to change my sex because I'm comfortable with who I am. I wear a bra to keep my (very nice) boobs from bouncing around on my chest when I work out. I have short hair. I have big muscles. And I am a completely natural female.
That being said, when I go out in public I get addressed as "Sir" on a regular basis. In fact the times when I get addressed as ma'am are so rare and so few and far between that me and my friends make fun of the situations.
You would be hard pressed to assign a gender to me. Depends on the day, depends on the situation. And I know, I am only afforded this luxury because I can kick ass and take names. Sadly, many, many others are not.
Question How many women do you know that wear make-up? How many women do you know that have augmented breasts? How many women do you know that have had plastic surgery? Are they still "natural women" to you? Becaue let's be honest I'm more natural of a woman than ANY OF THEM you just thought of.
If you have a problem with Bruce Jenners transition to Caitlyn, than all of those women that you listed in your head, go out and direct everything negative you've said about Caitlyn Jenner at them.
I'd bet money you can't."

And one of the few people I've seen that's able to pull off a mohawk... 
lol But she is right about the negativity that's been tossed Caitlyn Jenner's way over this. I mean understand that the staunch conservatives and religious types are making their comments out of fear etc., which is expected and the other side that just plain hates the Kardashians... But for me, as a sports guy, I don't associate Jenner as much to the Kardashians I guess. What honestly gets in my craw the most is the contingent of folks that are now trying to either have Caitlyn return her gold medals or have them stripped. It's ridiculous... you can't change the record books nor can you change a person's personal history. Caitlyn was Bruce at the time she won those medals, so they're hers as far as I'm concerned... she earned them. 
lol Glad you were able to get that off your chest. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
