COLUMN: Keeping Up With Bruce Jenner’s Gender
Bruce Jenner was once remembered as one of America’s greatest male athlete’s, but is now being known as a dolled-up female.
More stories from Christina Michaels
Bruce Jenner is trading in his male features and hanging up his “man parts” for the pony tail, wearing sports bras, makeup, and shaved legs. Why is he doing this? Perhaps it’s to get a fresh new start in life. Jenner did report to OK! magazine that he is not switching his gender because he is gay. Who knows, maybe he’s changing his gender in hopes of finally getting away from his wretched former wife Kris Kardashian.
On a more positive note, Jenner has become more happier with his life because of the new changes he has made. Close family members and friends said he has always had a feminine side to him. In previous years, he would walk around the house in women’s clothing, and as well as ask his friends to buy him women’s clothes. I believe it is very wonderful that Jenner is finally seeking joy. If Jenner finds happiness through doing things he likes, he should be able to continue to do them.
With all of the physical changes that are occurring with Jenner, he finally decided it was time to tell his kids. He told them what he was doing, how happy it made him, and his plans for the future. At first, his kids were confused as to why he wanted to change who he was. But then, they quickly came around when they realized how happy it made him. His whole family has decided to support his journey on becoming a female every step of the way.
With his family and close friends supporting him, Jenner is very confident that this will be a good, new, fresh start. We are only given one life so we should live it to the fullest. I respect what Bruce has decided to do. If it brings him contentment than he should not mind what others have to say.
