Gender identity....have you found yourself yet?

Never would I have imagined someone as famed as Bruce Jenner, after all these years, to announce that he was living in the wrong body all his life. But for him to publicly come out took some balls (pun intended). As I've always said, even as a child, I always knew I was gay, but gender identity is different. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for anyone to try and explain to their parents that under their penis there's a vagina waiting to come out. If this offends you, then screw off. I'm trying to find humor in this for those who would rather be disgusted. This is real life, and gender identity is a real issue. This is why parents need to talk to their children at an early age and be supportive about who they are (unless you think you'd be comfortable with losing them and being reunited years later with a complete stranger). Personally I find Caitlyn to be somewhat of a hero, just like Bruce had been for many athletes. I guess it just goes to show that sometimes it really does take a woman to do a man's job.
