nativenewyorker 1,190 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Where was the pressure? He already won the gold medal and if he wanted to become a woman, wouldn't that be his/her choice? It is a free country and she was able to do what she wished. Why does everyone have to agree with everything when you're free to begin with to do what you wish? Why care what anyone thinks?Lol it's not that easy, especially 30 years ago when transgender discussions hardly ever took place in celebrity culture. I suggest watching her interview with Diane Sawyer because you'll see how confusing those feelings of wanting to be a woman were for Bruce, let alone his family and the millions of people watching. "Why care what anyone thinks?" It's easy to say this in 2015 when the concept of transgender is understood. It was seen as mental illness for the longest time.

If you watched the KUWTK special you'd have known that she was extremely close to revealing her secret to the media, but was advised to stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow 6,625 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They made it so that others who maybe feel the same way as Bruce did can come to terms with themselves and to educate the public. Not even kidding you I heard a group of guys talking about this and how they didn't know about the difference between gender identity and s-xual orientation before watching the special. This was a huge media event that actually put transgender people out there in a positive way. If a gold medal winning athlete can struggle and go through this, what makes you think others aren't struggling the same? I think that was the point of all this. Of course, in those cases, it understandably giving attention to those sure about themselves and wanting acceptance. However, what about those not sure? What about young teens who get made fun of by others and then get pressure to do this to themselves? It isn't always clear or fair. That is why is important to see issues like from different perspectives. Do your own research. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
