I posted a couple times in this thread already, have gone out, lifted, ate and still can't get this off of my mind.
What gets at me about this isn't exactly his desire to be a woman, but the fact that his actions don't just affect himself.
And what I am talking about is the impact this has had on his family.
Matt Kroc wasn't some guy who sit at home debating this idea in his head, and it effected no one but himself, he was married with kids.
I know this is the misc, and a lot of you joke about woman and getting married, but marriage is a real commitment and a promise you make to another person. You open yourself up to the other person, and you promise to always be there for them, life continues not by yourself at that point, but together as one.
There is a lot of faith and trust put into a relationship, and it can mean the world to someone.
What gets at me is, he allowed himself to get married with a woman who was not onboard with this whole 'i'm really a woman in a mans body' thing, and even had kids with her. 3 kids to be exact.
At no point when he was dating her, when they got married, when they had the first, second, or third child did he stop and think 'Hold on, I really feel like i'm a woman, I should let them know this before things get too serious.' He just continued on like all was normal.
The level of betrayal his ex-wife feels at this point must be earth-shattering. To turn his back on her, spit on the commitment he made with her, all the lies over the years,
it's unforgivable really.
Given that they are not on good terms now, it is doubtful she would have spent the YEARS they spent together if she had knew all along he intended to become 'transgender'. This is a persons life, pretty much ruined because one day or even all along this guy felt like he was gonna be a woman, and would do whatever it takes to make it a reality.
He even had kids with her. If he felt like a woman, why was he having sex like a man with a woman? At no point did he think this through, it was all about what he wanted at all times.
This kids will grow up without a real father, and instead a person that believes it is okay to go about your life lying to other people, and looking out only for themselves.
Honestly, this wouldn't have bugged me as much if he was single without kids, but the fact is he brought other people in on this, and got them involved with his messed up reality. I can't imagine a person that REALLY believes he is a woman putting himself out in the dating world without informing the other person about this, allowing himself to date people that aren't okay with this, allowing themselves to MARRY someone that isn't okay with it, and allowing themselves to have KIDS when this huge, life changing issue was just kept to himself.
That is why I think he is mental, or at the very least, so self-centered that he cares about no one else but himself.
No decent person would put another person into the position he did through his actions.
No decent person would live a lie for so many years, and bring other people along with you.
CLIFFS:
Who really cares if he thinks he is a woman? As many said, if he only was doing this to himself, then no one else really should ultimately care.
But he brought a woman along with his messed up problems, MARRIED her, and had 3 kids with them, all while living a lie about who he really is.
Outside of murdering people, I have a hard time thinking of anything more fukked up than that.
He's completely wrecked his ex-wife life over this, and his kids are going to have a freak for a father for the rest of their lives.
Then people have the nerve to support him after what he has put his family through, ANY good person would have never put them through this situation, if he felt like he was a woman he shouldn't have been having sex like a man, and messing up other peoples lifes.
I guess it is all par for the course for him, a life time of drug use to accomplish what he wanted in sport and bodybuilding also translated into his personal life, the motto of 'fuk everyone else, I'm gonna get mine' describes this scumbag to a T
I'd say he was probably a bit out of it mentally based on him bringing other people along for the ride this whole time, but it is obvious the guy has a brain thats wired to get and do whatever he wants at any cost, regardless of anyone else, drugs can intensify your desires and actions, leading to this point.
Very long post, and I know I'll get negged for it but the hate people show about this issue goes beyond just plain bigotry, and has a lot to do with how his actions impact other people.
The level of selfishness here is beyond belief, if he was an innocent man he wouldn't have brought anyone else along for this crazy ride, and bring kids in to this world to live in this craziness. If he cared at all about other people, he would have waited till he made 'the change' to seriously date.
EDIT: This bugs me so much because I viewed Kroc as a respected member of the powerlifting community, and in ways as an ambassador of the sport due to how well known he was. To think of him living a lie for many years, and the pain he has caused his family over his actions is beyond frustrating, and puts an even blacker mark on strength sports which have always struggled to get mainstream respect.
