Yes.

Ummmmm it depends on the person, not everyone judged Michael obviously and not everyone is supportive of Caitlyn.

Keep in mind that if Caitlyn transitioned the same time Michael did, the backlash would have been huge. That being said, even today Beyonce is insulted for bleaching and we don't even know if that's true, so idk

um

I have never once "insulted" or "judged" Michael Jackson. I have always looked up to and admired him with the utmost respect, aspired to be like him even- and always will. So maybe you have, but no "we" haven't

Um, it's not the same thing. You can't be born into the wrong race. Also it's gender, not genre.

No shade but is that really what MJ was insulted and judged for? Sure it's not some skin disease. Yeah, the jokes made about it are lame but I just don't see how these are even the same. Even when he looked like that he still claimed his blackness

Omg el té. 🍵

Gender is a much more complex concept than race. Being born with a certain skin colour really is as simple as the genetics involved and what is inherited from the parents. Of course there are other things like being albino but they're not exactly the same as that's a genetic mutation, not a genetic variation.

You can't be, for example a "white" person born in a "black" person's body, because there's no differing hormones, chemicals or brain structure between different races like there is between the genders. It's really not comparable.

I get so defensive when it comes to MJ, my bad. Didn't mean to sound angry or anything

No

The fact that people keep trying to make this argument.

Just read this thread: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=808263

Michael Jackson was not born white. He had vitiligo.

people judge him for being accused a pedophile and changing his skin color jokes are low blows.
