consolidated B. Jenner thread.

This is terrible news. I feel appalled at the comments of the trolls when someone has died.
Is this what our society has become?

As someone whose life was affected by a fatal car accident I feel for all of those involved and whose lives will be forever changed.
I know mine was as I still struggle with PTSD as I witnessed seeing my mother die in front of my eyes at 9.
This was in the age where therapy was a dirty word and then the abuse started.

I feel so sad for them all.

Jenner didn't die AFAIK.

One of my good friends started with the "freak" nonsense. His friends responded with the "he chopped his penis off" nonsense. Then it went on and on and on on Facebook.

I just don't know anymore. I don't even want to come out to this guy because he might view ME as how he views Jenner.

I really need to reevaluate who my friends are. I'm not getting a good vibe from some.
