First Bruce Jenner and Now Richard Simmons!

[Orlong]

First we had to go through all the news about Bruce Jenner and his confusion, and now here comes Richard (now known as Fiona) Simmons. Its such a shame with all the people he has helped battle obesity that now nobody will help him with his mental illness. Most have suspected he was gay for decades but know we know its Gender Identity Disorder. When are we as a society going to start taking this serious and treat these people instead of hand waving it off as normal and let them permanently dismember their own bodies. They are also both senior citizens so they could be suffering from dementia or Alzheimers and not been diagnosed causing the confusion. According to reports, Richard had his twig and berries removed and installed breast implants.

The fitness icon, 67, has undergone breast implant surgery and hormone therapy over the course of two years. A friend told the publication, "[This is] not just in drag. This is Richard dressed as a softly spoken woman named Fiona!"

Simmons' transformation may be one reason why nobody has been able to seen him in so long. According to the story, Fiona prefers to keep a low profile and has rejected rumors that she was kidnapped by her longterm caretaker Teresa Reveles. "I am not kidnapped. I am just in my house right now,’" he insisted years ago, when concerns of Simmons' well-being first surfaced. "No one should be worried about me. The people that surround me are wonderful people who take great care of me."

You wrote the wrong names there OP.

[bladeXcrasher]

What are your opinions on tattoos and piercings?

[Sorrior]

Richard Simmons I can totally see

[Kalis]

What are your opinions on tattoos and piercings?

It is Orlong, they are probably going to be extreme authoritarian views with a dash of "WTF?".

[Xargoth6634]

Disgusting.

[kail]

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

We haven't had a nice trans bashing thread in a while is all this thread is for. >.>

What's the problem?

Never understood why people get so worked up over this sort of thing. If a person wants to modify their body and change their name, why should I care.

[Masark]

If I believe I'm Jesus Christ and legislate rules that require you to play make believe and pay lip service to the notion I'm the son of God trapped in a mortal body, that's a problem.

However, you don't appear to have any problem mandating compliance to what you think a guy who did believe that supposedly said a couple millennia ago.

What's the problem?

There is no problem. A certain someone is bored and (again) gets worked up over something that does not affect him.

[Roadblock]

fuck em

I'd rather not.

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

Guy is almost 70, I'm not sure why anyone who doesn't know him should care, let him do what he wants, he's always been almost half way there as long as I can remember.

[LiiLoSNK]

I at least like Richard Simmons. Jenner is a douche.

Because straight people dont want to be tricked into dating a man

[Rennadrel]

The fact that he never came out when it was obvious that he was gay makes this kinda dumb. And the drama around old famous people who have been irrelevant for decades, and Simmons hasn't been relevant since the early 90's, just shows how much some people want attention though.
