Bruce Jenner with that hair! Demovictory9 Oct 2023 #29

We used to call it the Dorothy Hamill cut JoseBalow Oct 2023 #30

I had something similar..a bob that turned under ..I got sick of it eventually Demovictory9 Oct 2023 #51

When he was running, though, that hair was glorious! Iggo Oct 2023 #33

I think we should use female pronouns and refer to Jenner as Caitlyn. ShazzieB Oct 2023 #47

When referring to the person back then? I don't think the person meant disrespect Demovictory9 Oct 2023 #52

I am SURE no disrespect was meant, and never intended to imply that. ShazzieB Oct 2023 #58

That's a good question. Should we refer to pre-transition people using post-transition pronouns? JoseBalow Oct 2023 #59

I wasn't sure about that myself, so I did some googling before commenting. ShazzieB Oct 2023 #61

Thanks for researching the issue. I hope a few of DUers Trans folk chime in Demovictory9 Oct 2023 #62
