Jenner and kardashians

He rear ended someone and caused a death. How does he walk away unscathed? It is hard to believe that being a celebrity/having money does not have something to do with it.

Lots of people get into accidents that cause death. What do you suggest he should be charged with? He was not under the influence of alcohol and was not distracted (texting, on the phone etc), he was hauling within the legal weight limit. It was an accident. It's sad that someone was killed, but it was just that, an accident.

To rear end some at 38 mph because you did not see that they were stopped in front of you is reckless. It is every drivers responsibility to control your vehicle and because he some how became distracted a person is dead. IMO, if Joe Schmoe does that he gets charged with something.

As I understand it, Bruce Jenner, a 65 y.o. grandfather, caused an elderly widow's death by negligently following her car too closely in his to stop in time, forcing her car into oncoming highway traffic. But I have a question: If he does any prison time, will he be put in the male section of prison, as he was/is still physically male when he killed her and still is today? Can people just announce to the State prison system they are now a different gender or race or their eyes are different colors, etc., than they are or do they have to have some further factual, medical proof?

And if females have to shower in group showers, will he shower with other women even though he apparently still has male genitalia? I know I wouldn't want to strip down and shower with him if I were in the pokey!

Is anyone else tired of the media force feeding this family down our throats?

Yes, yes and hell yes! They all just need to go away! Bruce Jenner is an Olympic gold medal winner but I really don't want to hear about his girly parts while I'm eating dinner or any other time. The rest of them haven't done a gosh darn thing that is news worthy and yet I know more about them than my next door neighbor because the media just won't quit showing that garbage!

I am sorry for all people that are confused about who they are. Fact is, you can want a lot of things. However.....DNA will always be the same. Male will have male DNA and female will have female DNA. Ergo, a man will always be a man and a woman will always be a woman. Adding parts and cutting off parts will not change that. We are simply male or female. From the day we are born until the day we die.

He is being sued by two different people regarding the accident, that resulted in the death of the elderly woman. I think they are still investigating the accident to determine if charges will be filed.....

To answer the OP, I am sick, sick,sick of this family, can you hear me scream?

I don't know anything about that family as I don't follow them on TV or otherwise. But I will tell you that when my son, at a very young age, participated in his first Olympics he was in awe of every one he met and very overwhelmed.

He came to me one day and told me about this wonderful man who had sat with him at lunch and was so instrumental in helping my son navigate the EXTREMELY OVERWHELMING (cut throat and political nature) of the whole Olympic thing -- that generous kind person was Bruce Jenner. You have to understand, my son was very young ( probably too young) and really did not know who Jenner was until someone told him - that would have been about 1990.

Wow - very cool story/insight. Thanks for sharing this .

I will say though, I completely admire the courage of Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) Jenner for going through her transition transparently and publicly. Some will poo-poo this as just more publicity and/or stunts -- but in this case, we really do need to look past that automatic urge and look at the bigger picture of what is happening here in the public eye.

I believe in fully respecting another's gender identity bc who am I to know better, do better, or judge their experience? Only *they* can know whether or not they "feel" like a man or a woman, or feel they are in the wrong body. I can't even *fathom* the insane confusion and pain one must feel if/when they actually feel they were born into the wrong gender. Can you imagine? I don't know how any of us could imagine it unless we've been through it.

I hope Caitlyn Jenner's journey fosters discussions, encourages more open mindedness, encourages ACCEPTANCE, and in the end....hopefully could even save lives as the suicide rate of transgender people is so terribly high.

And btw, did anyone see the pics of Caitlyn on Vanity Fair and/or the behind the scenes video of the photo shoot??? I mean, WOW. Stunning. She really does look stunning. I hope for the very best for her during this journey/transition and I do hope the transition brings all the hoped for happiness to her life.

Well said Ann, I too hope Caitlyn finds happiness and peace. I saw the Vanity Fair photos. Awesome. I don't follow things like this, two days ago a friend text me. asked what do I think about Caitlyn Jenner, I wrote back, "who is that, never heard the name" lol. So I am just finding out about her now.

Great story! Is this the same son who is an Air Force pilot? Olympian and pilot? Is he married?

I have never seen the show, but I remember being shocked to learn that Bruce Jenner was married to Mama Kardashian and that he was part of this whole reality show thing.

Don't know too much about the accident, but I thought I read that the paparazzi was also involved and there is even some talk about someone being encouraged to make a quick stop so they could get a picture of Bruce, I don't know any facts yet, but to answer your question, I think they have to have sex reassignment surgery before they are considered legally that sex. So he would probably have to go to a male prison. He has said that he is still thinking about the actual surgery and wants to keep that part private, so the public will not know when that is done. If you've ever watched Orange is the New Black, they have a real transsexual playing the part of a transsexual in a women's prison, she has gone through the final surgery, but the prison wants to take away her hormones, which would be a extremely hard on the women.

That's it, I'm planning the wedding .

Not to worry about Bruce/Caitlyn in prison - it will never happen unless he kills that controlling ex wife of his. He is being sued and will pay up and that's the end of the story.
