Okiebug, they opened the door to scrutiny when Christine went on Oprah years ago and when they allowed Harpo to do a story on them as a couple.

But yes, I do believe that if this were a couple who did not seek attention and thusly put it 'out there', we would have no right to comment.

I don't agree with the choices made, but it's not my life to live. If they feel they made the best choices for themselves, great. They are the ones who have to deal with the fallout from those choices.

I still feel as if the information presented minimizes the enormity of the process of transition and I still don't believe that authenticity was prevalent in the decisions made. That is probably the kindest, gentlest way I can say it.
