Caitlyn Jenner is the biggest news of the month. A lot of people are confused by the lifestyle. According to Wikipedia transgender is the state of one's gender identity or gender expression not matching one's assigned sex. Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, etc. So basically Caitlyn was born a boy (Bruce) but felt like he identified as a woman (Caitlyn). So they change their sex legally and physically.
What I think trips people up is not knowing what transgender is. I've even had a tough time understanding what it is, I thought it was them saying that God made a mistake. In reality I believe it's because it's a identity issue. We all identify as male or female because of hormones, it's the same with transgender.
If a transgender person opens up to you about their journey it's because they trust you and they believe you won't judge them. So the best thing you can do is to listen without judgment. I think we judge what we don't know or don't understand.
I may post more as more comes to me but this was just what was on my heart to share right now. I saw way too much hate out there!
