Bruce Jenner  

The Bruce Jenner Controversy

I have to admit that I have watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians throughout the years. I’ve always watched the show off and on, more like whenever I was flipping channels and caught it on. So if you keep up with any social media, then you know by now about Bruce Jenner’s upcoming transformation into a woman. Now, before I voice my opinion, which keep in mind this is only MY opinion, not everyone else’s. I watched the Diane Sawyer specials and then both of the About Bruce episodes. Most of us all know Bruce Jenner as the All American Olympian. Total athlete. I think this is what is so shocking to most people about Bruce and his decision to move forward with his gender transformation. He took on the responsibility and challenges of raising another man’s family and he has raised 10 very successful , and had a 25 year marriage to Kris, his 3rd wife. I feel he has fulfilled his obligations in his life and he should live for himself and not for other people’s expectations of him. I watched the raw emotions he and his family have shown regarding his lifestyle change. What I truly didn’t realize, that this really is the death of Bruce Jenner once he has transformed. Bruce is now 65 years old and has felt this way since he was a small . This has been an inside struggle for most of his life. And while many people won’t approve of his decision to go through with this, I do approve after watching these specials. Bruce does not have that ‘inner peace’ that we all should have before we die. If this gives him that ‘inner peace’ then I think he should go through with it. However, I do feel bad for his now ex-wife Kris, in the episodes that aired regarding his transformation, you can clearly see that she still loves him very much. I have always been for equal rights for everyone, except on the abortion issue. That’s another topic I won’t get into in this post. And although I am not bi or even bi-curious, I do believe in equal rights for the gay community. Just because you are gay does not mean you should be treated badly or discriminated against and I don’t think Bruce should be either. If this brings him that ‘inner peace’ he so desperately desires then by all means he should go through it. His family supports him and as long as they are ok with it then I think everyone else shouldn’t care, I mean it’s not like it will have an effect on anyone who doesn’t personally know him. It’s his body and his life that he has to live, not me. So I say do whatever floats your boat, just as long as it doesn’t sink mine! What do you think??
