Bruce Jenner is such a unique circumstance and situation and his coming out is a high
point in the transgender movement currently.
Because to have somebody that high profile be willing to share in that way and transgender
is almost the last of the LGBTQ spectrum that people don’t understand.
You know, if you’re a Yankees fan and you have your Yankees jersey the thought of having
to wear – it being socially acceptable that the only thing that you could wear was a Red
Sox jersey.
It would just make your skin crawl.
And then to think about feeling like that every single day.
Or if you are secure in your gender identity imagine if you had the opposite genitalia
and what that would feel like.
I mean to me there are these – when it becomes personal and we go to these feelings of what
does your body do when you imagine these things, then I think we can begin to relate on another
level.
So I think for Bruce to make that decision and do that and do it so publicly and take
the questions and like we said, be kind of the 101 version of that, it gives us all a
point of reference.
You love him or you have an opinion about him or you don’t.
But it doesn’t change because he’s transgender.
