A Real Science Project

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.
