Caitlyn Jenner
Something that has been bothering me in the social media right now has been all the negative talk about Caitlyn Jenner. So many people are hating on her because of her transition from a man as Bruce Jenner to the woman she is, Caitlyn. I do understand that some people do not believe in this process because of their religious stand point. I am also religious, but I also believe that she is just as much a child of God as any one else is. It is not our position to stand around and hate one her for her personal choices. Imagine if you were in her position, sad thinking about the fact that you don't want to be the gender you were born to be. She was not happy with her life for 65 years. That is almost her whole entire life wasted on worrying about how society will accept or not accept her as Caitlyn. Some of us have grown to look past the whole religious point of view on the subject and realize just how amazing and brave she truly is. She just made thousands of confused teens and adults more comfortable with themselves as transgender girls or boys. She has been a voice for those of the transgender community who did not have the power to speak up for their rights. She won a very popular award recently that most people believe should have gone to the other candidate. I personally believe that she deserved it. She came out and exposed her true self to billions of people knowing that she was not going to be accepted by the majority of them. That takes true courage. Most people wouldn't even come to school dressed like the opposite sex. Try coming out to the whole world as the opposite sex. Caitlyn Jenner is truly a beautiful, remarkable, and brave lady who deserves to live the rest of her life to the fullest.
