Geez...who woulda thunk?
"A segment on Fox Business Cavuto repeatedly mocked Caitlyn Jenner, who debuted her new identity Monday on the cover of Vanity Fair, and misidentified her with male pronouns.
Neil Cavuto introduced the segment by asking in an exaggerated voice, What the hell is going on?!? The reporter, Dagen Mcdowell then proceeded to incorrectly use the pronouns him and his to refer to Caitlyn seven times.
Cavuto makes a joke of wanting to end the segment quickly, Look at the time
He then introduces his next guest, Charles Payne, as Charlene Payne to uproarious laughter.
Cavuto wraps of the discussion by suggesting the Vanity Fair cover was a sign of the end of American civilization. Rome, final days. But thats fine, he concludes."

(63,926 posts)While these guys are total assholes, I think lots of men have unease at what happens during sex change surgery such as what Caitlyn had. I talked about it with my husband who has no ill feelings whatsoever for Caitlyn but doesn't like to think about what's involved in doing so. I told him that Caitlyn looks very lovely. I think it'll take some time for him to be comfortable with what happened physically in the sex change...but he'll be fine...

(10,418 posts)I'm sure Cavuto is going overboard to denigrate her because he's trying to hide the inner conflict of his true feelings, probably like a lot of guys who have seen the magazine.

(6,402 posts)The next generation is already treating this as a hugely positive thing and "business as usual" going forward. A lot of people in the generations prior are having mixed reactions depending on upbringing and exposure, as is to be expected.
But the young'ns are seeing how outlets are playing it. You get the big three out there and yeah, they're running it into the ground with expansive coverage for a couple of months now, but they're using it to talk, educate, inform and normalize for people.
Which is hugely important.
Fox goes for the short term gain while losing the long term battle.
It's unfortunate that they end up taking down a few other people (i.e. their viewers) along the way.

FoxNews is un-American and anti-democratic. They are about exclusion, not inclusion. To accept Ms. Jenner is not a sign of the end of American civilization but a sign of its affirmation.

(65,616 posts)Why is anyone here surprised at what small minded bigots say and do on TVEE? It is FOXNEWS for fucks sake! Foxnews is the gummy, sticky shit in the bottom of the trashcan. That oozing green slime on the movie theater floor.
WHY any honest, intelligent person even watches that channel - is beyond my understanding.

(5,547 posts)They certainly don't act human. Imagine what these assholes would be spewing when Martin Luther King was alive? Now they just invoke his name so that they won't be (correctly) called racists.
I guess they have to fit some good ol' LGBTQ bashing in-between all of that racism and poor-people bashing. Program diversity is important, and all.

(6,539 posts)I'm glad that Caitlyn is doing this publically so that we can understand what other Trans-people are going through and learn how to respond empathetically to them.
Just because this is on the cover of Vanity Fair doesn't mean anything about America's "final days." Maybe FAUX should be more concerned about the pedophiles and war criminals that they've foisted upon America over the past decades. Faux can try to point at what they perceive to be faults in others, but they can never hide from the mountain of sins that they have perpetuated against the American people.

(35,705 posts)If she hasn't done it yet, Caitlyn Jenner is not registered to vote so technically not a Republican.
Maybe after all this she will change her party also.
