Bruce Jenner

Okay so by now I'm sure that we all know about Bruce Jenner's "Transformation" ( click here to catch up if you haven't). Not surprisingly, there are many questions following his complete change, and understandably so. Was it a midlife crisis? Has he always had this ambition? Is he jealous of the rest of the Kardashian's and wants to be like them? So many questions, and very little answers.

Now first I would like to point out the fact that I believe that everyone deserves their own privacy, and no one should have to make a statement explaining themselves in front of the public solely for the fact that they are a "celebrity" and that people are "curious". Jenner must have had to know that this was going to happen though, wouldn't you think? A big celebrity making such a dramatic decision changing his image, literally! It seems as if he kept it well under wraps for a while, but it seems as if we learn more and more the more every time an interviewer decides to sit down and ask question him about the public's specific interests about the change.

As a society, we are all very quick to judge, which is honestly a weakness in my opinion, but only in certain circumstances. For instance, judging people just off of the way they look or dress is a little far fetched for me (not really fair), however in situations like this, how can you not wonder? The question still remains, why did Bruce Jenner decide to change his gender and his name? In my opinion, many spend too much time trying to wrap their heads around something they will never understand, because it something some of us would never think of doing, EVER, in the first place. Maybe the reason we can't figure all of this out is because of simply just that. In that case, its okay to be curious, but we need to be careful about how far we chose to go to understand the whole story.
