I will say though, I completely admire the courage of Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) Jenner for going through her transition transparently and publicly. Some will poo-poo this as just more publicity and/or stunts -- but in this case, we really do need to look past that automatic urge and look at the bigger picture of what is happening here in the public eye.
I believe in fully respecting another's gender identity bc who am I to know better, do better, or judge their experience? Only *they* can know whether or not they "feel" like a man or a woman, or feel they are in the wrong body. I can't even *fathom* the insane confusion and pain one must feel if/when they actually feel they were born into the wrong gender. Can you imagine? I don't know how any of us could imagine it unless we've been through it.
I hope Caitlyn Jenner's journey fosters discussions, encourages more open mindedness, encourages ACCEPTANCE, and in the end....hopefully could even save lives as the suicide rate of transgender people is so terribly high.
And btw, did anyone see the pics of Caitlyn on Vanity Fair and/or the behind the scenes video of the photo shoot??? I mean, WOW. Stunning. She really does look stunning. I hope for the very best for her during this journey/transition and I do hope the transition brings all the hoped for happiness to her life. |
Well said Ann, I too hope Caitlyn finds happiness and peace. I saw the Vanity Fair photos. Awesome. I don't follow things like this, two days ago a friend text me. asked what do I think about Caitlyn Jenner, I wrote back, "who is that, never heard the name" lol. So I am just finding out about her now.
