My Thoughts On Caitlyn Jenner

Winner of 2015 Women of the Year Award

My Thoughts On Caitlyn Jenner

Lately, my timeline on Facebook or Twitter has been overflowing with Caitlyn Jenner. For some reason, everyone can't stand the fact that Caitlyn has been awarded with "Glamour" magazine's, "Women of The Year" award. People from different backgrounds and beliefs are upset - some are Christian, men, female, athletes, mothers, or just outsiders wanting to cash in their two cents of hysteria. Many claim that so-and-so should have one; or a comment I hear the most is "She's not even a real women."

As a women and a Christian, I can honestly say I don't care if Caitlyn Jenner is awarded as "Women of The Year." And frankly, why should you?


Now I can completely understand why people are offended. But why is Caitlyn getting all the flack about it? She was AWARDED - she didn't call up Glamour and ask them to be Women of The Year. They picked her! So whatever hysteria or hate thats going on about this award, shouldn't it be towards Glamour?

Also, lets stop and think about the award. So this "Women of The Year" award was invented by who? Glamour... right! Ok - so we all know Glamour. A magazine that caters to fashionable women worldwide. Their bio even says, "Your guide to the latest fashion trends, outfit ideas, hair + makeup how-tos, and celebrity scoop is on Glamour.com." People, come on, this is an award toasted from a MAGAZINE company. I mean if I was being awarded from a magazine, then I wouldn't let anyone forget it. But why is the world making such a fuss about it? Caitlyn isn't getting the keys to your town, or being asked to move into the White House. No, she is being awarded by her stand out braveness - in Glamours opinion!

Now women, why are we so upset? Could it be insecurity that drives this disdain towards Caitlyn? For her to be nominated this award doesn't mean our womanly efforts go unnoticed. Could it be the title "Women" that upsets you so much? This isn't an award about being the best women in the world, each women nominated with this award had a reason that Glamour - (a fashion magazine may I add again) - saw fit. I'm just saying, if you are getting upset by a magazine award to the point you have to bash someone, then you have a lot of growing up and soul searching to do.




My real opinion on Caitlyn Jenner? I love her. I think she's beautiful, brave, and has a killer sense of style. But I have other things to worry about - I know my beliefs and convictions as a Christian, but I'm not going to bash someone because they want to live their life differently. Congratulations, Caitlyn!

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people."
