I don’t understand the gall or reasoning behind people
calling Caitlyn Jenner a science project.
For me the most controversial aspect of the situation is that Caitlyn
isn’t spelled with a “K” (I’m also turned off by the multimillion dollar
payoff/ TV. specials coming through this but the Kardashian money making
machine is a discussion for another day).
This whole science project insult reaches a level of nastiness and hypocrisy
that actually makes it rather appropriate for internet discussion. My question is where were these people during
other events that “go against nature”.
Where is the science project brigade when somebody receives a prosthetic
limb? That is the clearest example in my
book of playing god and combining science with the human body (aka creating a
cyborg). Where were these warriors of
the natural order of things when a pair of conjoined twins gets separate? I do not see any nasty memes disparaging the
pair of twins who improved their life using dare I say it – science. Last time I checked, we applaud the survivors
and medical experts. These examples are
much more of a science project in my book than Caitlyn Jenner. And why is science project being used as a
negative? A science project teaches us
(through convenient poster board format) something we didn’t know. Using science project as the go to insult
becomes just another example of how anti-intellectual and scientific this
country is.
Plus with the amount of pills and medicine we put into our
bodies we are all as much a “science project” as Caitlyn Jenner. I want to see the medicine cabinets and
medical histories of the people yelling the science project insult at Caitlyn
Jenner. How many of them have taken mood
or body altering prescription pills? How
many have used modern medicine to heal their wounds or to feel better? Sounds to me like these people are utilizing
that evil science to help them lead the life they want to live. If you want to look for a people who are
untouched by scientific help I guess the only pure humans are tribes in the
Amazon who have never had human contact or the Amish. So it’s looking like a
small list. I do not know the details of
Caitlyn Jenner’s transition but to me I simply see somebody who has taken steps
to become her real self and live the life she sees fit. Why this being dubbed a science project is
beyond me. To all the people yelling
science project at Caitlyn Jenner as an insult I’d say to stop being a bigot
and an idiot and take a look at your daily routine. I bet you’re more of a science project than
this brave woman.
