Russell Brand Defends bruce Jennner’s Transformation To Womanhoud (READ)

Actor and comedian Russell Brand has come out in defense of Bruce Jenner who many made fun off when he appeared on the cover of InTouch Magazine wearing make up and looking like a transvestite. Russel says the negative reaction is trans-phobic and should not be tolerated.

“This is bullying. Stop. Bruce Jenner is a human being. For some sections of the media, transphobia seems to be the most recent and encouraged form of prejudice, now that racism and homophobia are not tolerated.

“We can’t be homophobic anymore. Can’t be racist anymore. But still can be transphobic though, can we? Don’t this seem like when you see Blade Runner, or some dystopian thing – when you see a bit of telly in a film from the future, and everything’s a bit ‘hello, we’re evil now! It’s such a celebration of the worst aspects of human values. What this does is it sanctions people being judgemental and cruel towards transgender folk. This climate of bullying and judgement and cruelty is a violence of its own nature.” he said
