Using gender specific words regarding Cojo

Quote From: dubbieloo

I am pleased that Steven has survived and is sharing his recovery and message of hope. We had a close family friend die from kidney failure. Will look forward to the show.
A personal note: I have been in a fog regarding Cojo.... I will now be able to speak about him using terms like he/him/his, up until this time I have not been able to use gender specific words.

Thanks for the upcoming show - will look forward to it.

I sorry for your loss of your friend from kidney failure, I am sure it must still be very hard.

That being said I can't for the life of me understand your insensitivity regarding your comment about using " gender specific words " in reference to Cojo. How is that even relevant in this discussion?? That you could bring up this subject while discussing a life and death issue is mind boggling. I hope you find your way out of the fog.

Are you kidding me???   I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some people can take a serious matter like this and somehow have to bring up gender!  Who cares about Cojo's  gender?  All that really should matter is that he is alive and well.  Thanks  to Cojo for being who he is. Celebrity or not... he has brought more, well needed  awareness to this subject.  After reading  the messages on the message boards, it is very apparent to me that there are many people who are thankful for Dr. Phil and Cojo for educating us even more.  Especially those of us who have people in our lives who have had Kidney transplants.  So, to Cojo it is very unfortunate that you have gone through what you have, but Thank You for accepting and working with your disease and using it to educate others!  You and everyone else who has had a kidney transplant are  an inspiration!
