As a gay man, I guess I'm supposed to have an opinion on the metamorphosis of Bruce Jenner into Caitlyn Jenner. And I do. It's not very nuanced or sophisticated, but in a world of tremendous punditry and confusion, perhaps simple is best.
I wish Caitlyn all the best. She's clearly in a position to live out the rest of her life in a charmed environment replete with every possible convenience and all the publicity any publicity-whore could want or need.
At no point in the reality of Bruce/Caitlyn's life was he/she ever in a place of ruin. She is a shrewd lady. Why, look at her chosen modus exposure: Vanity Fair? Seriously?
My problem is not with her transition. Everyone should be given the opportunity to live a life content and grounded. My problem is how at every turn she uses the world about her to exact a measure of concern and sympathy and notoriety that ultimately has NOTHING to do with being transexual.
Please just go away. Pretty please!
