We have all heard about the show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. They seem to be in the news quite a lot for who knows what, but recently one of the members of their family, Bruce Jenner, has been getting a lot of media attention. She recently had an interview with abc news stating that he is in fact a woman, and he has always felt that way. Her life as a woman was always kept very secretive while only letting several of her family members know. She had taken some estrogen in the 80s for about 5 years and is now recontinuing taking the hormones. Bruce has not yet given her female name to the public, but she did say that it will not start with a "K".
I personally think it's very sad that Bruce had to live a hidden life for so long. For 65 years he has hidden this secret, and now he has been getting a lot of negative publicity about the whole situation. I think Bruce has a lot of guts to do this, and I think she is a role model for lots of other transgender people out there. I'm very glad he is now able to talk about her true identity as a woman and too see all the support Bruce has been getting through her struggle. I hope people can see that people are not simply "man" or "woman" based on their body parts, but it the inside that turkey determines who you are as a person.
I also found this subject intriguing. I agree that it is what is inside that "turkey" matters.
