Caitlyn Jenner on Mrs Brown

I've heard about this person, seen a head shot or two but not read much.
Tonight I've tuned into All Round To Mrs Brown's out of curiosity.
I'm disturbed. My brain will not compute this very tall person, with a plastic face, skinny masculine legs, odd body shape in a dress and a masculine voice is a woman. My brain just says no. It will not accept the lie. And the things they said just compounded that. 10 kids, had Olympic swimmers, and has retired the erm, requisite anatomy rather than removing it. I don't find this person inspirational at all despite what they are saying on the show. How is this inspirational? I don't know much about them but how are we to align these two things when we know that what we are being told is not truth? Biologically we are designed to identify a persons sex (a wise poster explained this on another thread) so how can we separate the truth from the falsehood and more importantly, why should we accept what is not true?

The person talking about Jenner was pointing out the things which made it impossible for your brain to override the "male" response.

For your colleague to have the same features you seem to be saying that it's hard to recognise them as a woman because your brain is registering so many features as male. That must be very confusing for you and potentially upsetting for her.

For the avoidance of doubt in the current fluidity of appearances, and despite having a healthy sex life, I have never had a problem with identifying a male from a female. I always thought this was normal, but I now am learning I should have embraced this as a happy coincidence for me as a heterosexual.

Some women have always had various "male" characteristics: similarly some men have had "female" characteristics. Regardless of how one presents, biology dictates that if we wish to procreate this is not a problem as we must choose someone of the opposite sex.
