Her Name Is Caitlyn (Ashton Garcia, 2nd)

As I'm sure many of you know, Bruce Jenner isn't Bruce anymore. SHE is Caitlyn. One of her photos just came out (dang she is gorgeous) and has finally showed the world that Caitlyn has made her decision to further transition as a woman. This has been hurting Caitlyn since she was a little girl, or since "Bruce" was a little "boy". Many people are shocked that such a previous manly man could turn into a woman... But Caitlyn told the world that she has always felt this way, and although she hasn't decided to fully transition until 65, she never knew exactly what it was that made her feel like a woman rather than a man. Many people don't transition until around their 50's or 60's. In fact, the first transgender person to get a full transition was a former soldier who transitioned into a woman (and she got quite a lot of attention from men because she was very beautiful) in the 50's, when she was middle aged. This is very exciting news, especially for the transgender community. There are very few people who transgender people can look up to, although these past few years many transgender people have changed that. One transgender man (who mad a full transition, Aydain Dowling) has possibly become the first transgender male model, creating an interesting and important history. A college in India has hired their first transgender principle, also making history. Caitlyn is another inspiration, creating history among the transgender community. She has a lot of courage, and I hope that her transition is as peaceful as possible and that she is safe and sound.

  1. I like the comments relating to other transgender men and women, because it shows that transgender history was being made but the limelight had not yet shone on it.
