Caitlyn Jenner

[bright.ton42]

.....Jenner had the voice already, but needed the space. Sawyer gave it to her. Today, famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has given the same space in introducing Jenner to the world as Caitlyn. The Sawyer encounter left no doubt that when the time came, Jenner wanted to glam the living hell of out of the moment. Leibovitz, fabled chronicler of celebrity moments from a nude and pregnant Demi Moore to George W Bush's triumphant 9/11 war cabinet before the fall, delivered an arresting vision of Jenner that did what it needed to do: it demanded you look, and look further.

Why? Because the Jenner story is a million stories untold. And because these million stories need a champion. And because these million stories are blessed when the champion happens to be someone as famous, eloquent, honest and challenging to our pre-conceived ideas as Caitlyn Jenner.

I am sick to death of hearing about Cailyn Jenner, so he wanted to be a women, good on him But I lot have people have done this and done it quietly.

Beautiful NO just a good plastic good Surgeon that has made a plastic person, shows what you can do if you have money and he will be getting plenty now.

Hero NO his ex wives are the Hero's the ones he Married knowing he wanted to be a women and they kept their mouths shut all this time.

Even when he tired on their clothes when they were asleep.

I never thought much of him when he was a man, so why should I like him as a women.

So he got a,medal, think it may be rusty by now how long can he live on the glory of that foe ever.

He will never be a hero in my book, who has he saved, when has he ever put his life on the line for his follow man or help a orphaned Child.

A ‘hero’ is dependent on how one classifies someone heroic, beauty is in the eye of the beholder & no-one is asking you to like Caitlyn Jenner.

I didn’t even know Caitlyn won a medal as an athlete so Caitlyn’s not living on any past victories, the media is doing that, just like they are watching & reporting her every move.

Just because Caitlyn has no physical scars and/or wounds to deem her a ‘hero’ for those who can't see beyond scars, wounds heal and scars are superficial.

Superficial scars in that the anguish & the torment Caitlyn has gone throu’ before now to get as far as she has, if she stays strong, no one will ever see her emotional scars. Emotional scars left by those who have, and will continue to for the rest of Caitlyn’s life, taunt her, criticise her, hound her, crucify her, condemn her, abuse her, torment her & inflict any other hurtful emotional treatment they see fit because the self-righteous and/or traditionalists will never agree with what Caitlyn’s done, regardless of what only she knows is right for her. Nor will the jealous cowards who don’t have the courage to do what they’ve always wanted do like Caitlyn has.

Just like my own unsung heros, my grandparents, who survived a concentration cramp in South Germany for the two most miserable years of their like, Caitlyn is as strong as my grandparents so unless your dictionary is missing the word ‘hero’, Caitlyn’s bravery & courage to tolerate her never-ending haters & critics is heroic in itself.

haters & critics, i was generalising!

and Caitlyn IS getting on with her life.............with the media following her

[lionrose.7]

Yes that is why the full story is going to be on TV and she will be paid heaps, the contracts have already been signed.

So much for doing quietly and getting on with her life.

She is the one that set up all the media contact 🙂

so, she's a smart woman

i'm sure if other transgenders were offered the same amount of money they would do it too! it's also only one programme & one programme she's very proud to be doing so i'm stoked for her. Caitlyn Jenner has been [re]born so she's on top of the world

not going to watch it thou'. not yet anyway, i'll wait for the hype to settle
