Feelings about Bruce Jenner or Diane Sawyer aside, this has opened a discussion on transgender issues that many watching have probably never had or thought about, and has a real potential to make some people out there struggling to come to terms with their own gender identity feel a bit less alone. I thought it was a pretty well done interview.

What I really hated it tonite was Bill Maher's transphobic "jokes". I only tuned in for a few to see who his guests were , and there he was , taking shots at Jenner. What an ass Maher has become.

(47,521 posts)No, I did not watch the interview but could not escape it - the promotions and the aftermath.
On the one hand I am thinking: who cares? Another promotion from the Kardashians.
On the other hand I am thinking that perhaps, young people with gender identities can get the courage to "come out" and talk to someone.
