I am
really conflicted about this Caitlyn Jenner situation.
* Formerly William Bruce
Jenner.
* 1976 Olympic Decathlon Gold Medal Winner.
* Was the Best Athlete in
the World
* In the Olympic Hall of Fame
* Photo on the Wheaties Cereal Box
*
"Stellar" Acting career
* Nominated for the 1980 Golden Raspberry
Award for Worst Actor for his performance in the film Can't Stop the Music
(1980).
* Former Patriarch of the First Family of Reality Television - The
Kardashians
All of these accomplishments (prior to the acting thing ;-) ) . All of these accolades. All of these
adoring fans. Man needs to be a woman?
Yes! Man needs to be a woman. Man has to
be a woman. Man has been a woman in everything but body, until now.
Does
Caitlyn Jenner coming into her own affect my life? No. Does it affect your
life? Only if you feel the same as Caitlyn has felt her entire life and her
transition gives you courage to follow a similar path.
My conflict, maybe you
ask? It's not about Bruce Jenner finally becoming Caitlyn Jenner. No. It's
about how some of my friends have reacted to Caitlyn Jenner finally becoming
herself. I have always known how some of these people feel about others who do
not vote the same way they do. I know how prejudiced, bigoted, and homohated
some people I know are. I have heard the most horrendous things spoken about a
person that none of us knows personally.
My conflict, you ask? It's not about
accepting Bruce Jenner finally becoming Caitlyn Jenner, because that does not
affect me. It's about Mellie from Texas rejecting her friends, because that
does.
