but I've gotta admit, learning that he's a self-proclaimed republi-CON actually changed my opinion of him a little.
I totally support his journey - if he feels that's truly and genuinely who he is making the transition he's making, then I support that. I know the news reporter who is now Zoey Tur. She made the transition. Used to be Bob Tur, and at times during my career I'd see him out working some of the same stories I was working. It's a brave step he's taking. Hell, it's a brave step that ANYBODY standing in those shoes undertakes. Yesterday I heard a local radio report - sidebar time! They interviewed Zoey to get the view from one who does indeed walk in those shoes. She talked about how it's actually like a death. The person you used to be is gone. Dead. Irretrievable. She talked about how final that transition is. It's the kind of transition so profound that I don't think any of us who don't face that kind of inner turmoil or questioning can fully grasp. I can't imagine having to deal with something that cataclysmic within one's own self! Then again, though, it's really not for any of us outsiders to say, one way or the other. It's none of our business, really. He's a celebrity so it kind of is, but really, this is a very personal journey HE is on.
So it's never been this chapter in Bruce Jenner's story that's bothered me. I hope EVERY individual everywhere finds his or her true path, personal truth, and hopefully, achieving one's own inner happiness and contentment in life.
But I gotta say - hearing he's a republi-CON was disappointing to me. Frankly hearing ANYBODY is a republi-CON is disappointing to me, and tends to tell me something less than good about them. I DO have a bias and a prejudice - against the GOP. I'm with you, PeaceNikki. I wish EVERYBODY was a liberal.
