Among Friends

[sophiamarie]

Of for gosh sakes!  We are talking about a 65 year old man who lived his life as a successful man, won Olympic titles as a man, married several women as a man, and produced a string of children as a man.  Bruce Jenner would have exhibited much more character and courage to live up to the relationships and commitments he had already begun rather than ditching them all in late life to "find himself" selfishly at others' expense.  I found his ESPY awards speech grotesque and ridiculous, and the acclimation heaped upon it even moreso.  Especially since numerous outlets are now reporting that Jenner's representatives finagled his receiving the award and pressured the networks for extra airtime and attention.  IMO the Kardashian thirst for fame, money, and publicity at any cost contaminates the entire clan and all of its hangers-on.  We are fools if we fall for the hype.

Bruce Jenner is no hero.

 Excellent post.  Kudos to you.

I think shes been in the spotlight for a few years. She was interviewed by Barbara Walers in 2007 and I think she had a you tube vlog for a few years. She seems very happy, ho ever, I agree about the hormones. I would be very concerned about the side effect of hormone treatment for someone so young. I do nt think a child at three years old understands gender. Maybe they like girls clothes and toys and thinks thats what  makes them a girl.  

In any event, I wish her the best and hope she has a healthy future.

My thoughts are how would we handle it if it was our child?

After the shock wore off how would we help the child?

Meaning.. if we lived in a very small town and didn't have the money to pay for the specialists needed as they talk  about and show on tv??
