I am not writing this to make you feel any worse than I'm sure you already do. But what you did was wrong on so many different levels. And this may be besides the point, but I support CBS for airing the footage. They brought to light an extremely important social issue that we deal with every single day: being able to be who we want to be, not who we have to be. We live in a country where it's okay to be open with who you are and being gay, lesbian, or transgender is accepted and more common in society. It isn't seen as something foreign anymore and never should have been in the first place.

The right to “come out of the closet" is that person's choice only. And that goes for just simply being gay or for feeling as if you've been born in the wrong body. It's that person's choice to undergo the changes that are necessary for that person to feel comfortable and it was Zeke's choice when and if he ever wanted that information public.

I think this is the battle we fight every single day. The fact that people get detrimental information about others and feel as if they can use it against them to gain a leg up is something that should never be a battle. But it finally shows that the person who thought they had the leg up, actually ends up going down.

The difference is that one person was okay with being open about it. But maybe Zeke wasn't. And maybe he didn't want the whole entire world to know, considering that, at the moment that you made the decision to speak, everyone who was watching live saw what you did and heard what you said. And the controversy within your mistake has brought even more light to the subject. And considering the fact that he's never told anyone on the show (so he says), how did you find that out? Did you just assume?

You're never responsible for anyone but yourself. In the game of Survivor, it is a battle to the end for a million dollars. But outing someone and calling them deceptive for being transgender is never worth a million dollars. I hope you learned a lot from your words and learn to think about the consequences for others before you speak.
