So, you guys missed the Psychology 101 class which addressed the difference between a transgender person and a rapist? And you're pleased with yourselves for slandering Jenner because had the courage to request gender reassignment? I feel like I'm back in a high school locker room, a type of place I really loathed.
On a higher level than just the 'Cos or Caitlyn, I think that the point being made is that postal authorities have relaxed their rules to allow "living" people on stamps. It's a worthy discussion to have - do stamp issues need to give us the benefit of time to decide what's worthy? Canada has issued a number of stamps to portray people still with us (after, I think, relaxing the rules for the Queen Mother's 100th birthday), including musical groups and hockey players. On the other hand, who can criticize a stamp commemorating Bobby Orr....?????
IMHO, neither Bill Cosby or Caitlyn Jenner are stamp worthy. Nor are a bunch of other people who have grabbed the headlines over the past few months. I'm looking on the good side of things and holding to the notion that Bruce/Caitlyn were not stamp worthy (except in Australia, where they print stamps of their medal winners; but only because they won a medal), as the 'Cos was just a poor, poor choice to sell stamps...

The rules should not be relaxed. At a minimum it should be post death. I appreciate the collector factor and $ making issues, but there should be some respect and honor to having an individual on a stamp. Should be a real hero and at least a few years after death to ensure it is a long term worthy reason and not just the political hot topic of the day. That's what bothers me... What will really matter and be important 50-100 from now that should be on a stamp.
Not everyone feels as you do Bob. Please respect the right of others to a difference of opinion without insinuating that they are somehow involved in slander.
