I think any negativity it will bring is already there, just not so much outspoken until someone with the sort of fame that Jenner has comes along. Also, there will be some misplaced stuff due to the association with the Kardashian Clan. So maybe bringing it all out of people will create more opportunity for positive discussion that could lead to wider spread education. But the main thing is that Jenner should not get any flack from our community at all, everyone has the right to come out when and how they feel is appropriate for them, not based on what we would do for ourselves, so don't let your own personal experience cloud your own view, Jenner is in a much different situation than most of us will ever be in.

A brief anecdote, just heard this on the (country music) radio...

"Bruce Jenner will be interviewed by Diane Sawyer tonight tonight...just so you know, Diane will be the one on the right."

ba-dah-bump!

I giggled when I heard it, because it is a clean joke about passing well enough to confuse viewers.
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

Ugh, I knew I was getting into a challenge when I agreed to be interviewed. But the commercial they're playing for it right now is done in typical 10 o clock news style.  Totally sensationalized.
"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Crap, that's tonight?  Could someone TiVo that for me?  I guess this is what I get for not keeping up with the Kardashians.

I guess trans issues are going to be on people's minds this week.  It's going to be a great opportunity to educate people.  I would love to see this taboo smashed once and for all now that we have some momentum on our side.

Knock 'em dead Ms. Jenner!

You should still have two and a half hours before it comes on. So far, its good, all things considered.

Don't spoil it for those who can't see it until west coast time.

I really want to see it, the little bit I can see from tidbits online seems good.  Wish I could find somewhere that will let you watch live :(

My (very recent) ex just Texted me to say she's crying. Apparently it's everything I tried explaining to her but she never understood. Does it really take a celebrity to get people to listen!?!

I am so disappointed on how wrong they got it. 

For me I felt so bad for her. 

Just another non educated interview and I agree the backlash in tabloids will be great.

Sad,  very sad. But as always it could have been a inspiration to the community.

Yes, unfortunately. Most people (imho) rely on authority figures to tell them what to think. The few who truly think for themselves are ridiculed for being on the "fringes" or "radicals."

I don't have cable, and would be unlikely to watch it. Maybe start a discussion thread so we can hear about it without worry about "spoilers" for those who will watch?

I'm watching it (DVR) now. It started off good and not surprisingly a lot of what she said I've said to other people. I hope she finds herself and I hope she is sincere that this is not just a stunt. It may be good for the community after all. However I will reserve judgement until I see the whole thing.

It was on ABC which is available free over the air with a digital tuner and antenna. :)

The family is going to be on GMA on Monday.

I heard more he an him and maybe a once in a while she or her.

As always no respect and she let the interview process that way.

Respect starts first and foremost with respect for who we are.

I cried but I cried for the community and her.
