Bruce Jenner Individualism
In the article “How American Family Life Is Different” Andrew Cherlin states expressive individualism is a sense of fulfillment through one's emotional satisfaction. Therefore, I believe Caitlyn Jenner known once as Bruce Jenner, the olympic gold medalist serves as a model for expressive individualism. In 2015, Caitlyn known at the time as a Bruce Jenner publicly announced she was transgender. Before Caitlyn's transitions she said in an ABC News interview that Bruce had always been a lie but she knew, heart and soul that she was meant to be woman. Since her announcement, Caitlyn was awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 EPSY Awards, was named one of the greatest LGBT influential people in America, but overall has openly discussed

    Brue Jenner Argument Essay

    This topic took a few twist and turns along the way. However, I do agree with the concept of; born a man your DNA reminds a man and vice-versa. I do think it is hilarious just people in this country find Brue Jenner courageous. The transgender has be going for on for years and anyone who has traveled oversea would know that. Maybe because he came out on TV and in front a large population that has never really encountered transgender but in the movies. I was listening to a therapist on the radio who had good points on the subject. He said Jenner is confused and he does not deny that fact. The therapist also said that Jenner was going to intense therapy before the change and has increase his visits since the change. The conclusion the therapist…

    Better Be Ready Bout Half Past Eight

    After reading Allison Baker's " Better Be Ready ‘Bout Half Past Eight" it made me realize that discovering one's self is a situation our world is going through right now. In her short story one of Allison Baker's main characters, Zach tells his best friend of thirty-eight years that he is going to have a sex change. Zach tells Byron that he feels trapped in the wrong body and that he is going to become a woman. Byron is shocked about what he is hearing and can't seem to deal with the news. He's known Zach for some time now and he didn't pick up any of the signs about Zach's sexuality. Through the rest of the story you see Byron coping with the news. He talks to his baby boy about the situation and tells him that he will grow up to a man. He also starts to think about his own sexuality and even goes as far as applying makeup to his face. Byron watches the transformation of his best friend Zach into a woman named Zoe. As the story comes to an end Byron, his wife Emily, and their son Toby are at Zoe's shower. Byron squeezes Zoe's hand and I think, right then and there, he finally comes to terms with Zach's decision and is happy for his friend. As his friend walks away, he says that his son Toby Glass could grow up to be anything.…

    Bruce Lee Tyson Introverts

    I’m somewhat of an introvert, yet I love talking. Or, more precisely, I love the art of talking, the study of how a speaker conveys his message. Like a detective, I analyze famous speeches and interviews, searching for the fundamental pieces that make people effective speakers. In the Clinton vs Bush debate of 1992, I noticed that when Clinton made particularly emotional points, his eyes squinted, conveying a sincere intensity and concern. As I watched Neil deGrasse Tyson explain what he called “the most astounding fact” of science to TIME, I was captivated by the way Tyson varied his tone, pace, and volume. From Bruce Lee’s interview on the Pierre Berton Show, I took note that Bruce’s expressive hand gestures gave vivid life to his martial arts stories.…

    Creating Change Speech Analysis

    Imagine yourself waking up every morning and realizing that you have to literally avoid death from the moment you wake up till the time you are supposedly safe at home. Imagine that you’re told by many people, who you love, that you’re a sin and that you will burn in hell. Imagine that everyday the people you thought cared for you turn you away and threaten you if you don't change, for some people that is something they can never even begin to understand, but now imagine it happening to someone for their entire life. Laverne Cox, a transgender woman and actress, gives a powerful speech during ‘Creating Change 2014’ (an organization that brings awareness to the LGBT community) she talks about the violent injustices and police discrimination against the lives of transgender women of color as a way to spread awareness of the inequalities of transgender within the LGBT community to those who feel the T in LGBT isn't as important. Throughout her speech she appeals to the viewer's empathy to those in pain through personal anecdotes and asyndeton sentences.…

    In college, she somewhat finds herself and who she really is. She became infatuated with her face and how she could have her face back. Her disability was part of her identity because it was something that she saw everyday in the mirror. It was a part of her and made her who she was and how she managed herself. Her lack of confidence came from her disproportionate face, which she will hide with her hair. Over time when she is more comfortable in her own skin she cuts her hair and no longer has what protects her from the looks of others. “As a child I had expected my liberation to come from getting a new face to put on, but now I saw it came from shedding something, shedding my image.” (Grealy, 222) Through her journey she discovered that society wants you to be what they perceive as…

    Laverne Cox At Creating Change Essay

    At Creating Change in 2014 Laverne Cox gave a speech all about the many challenges faced by transgender people in America. These challenges ranged from violence, to visibility, to unfair treatment in the criminal justice system. GLAAD defines a transgender person as someone whose “gender identity differs from the sex the doctor marked on their birth certificate.” (“Transgender FAQ”). Transgender people face many issues in America, and all over the world. In the first four months of 2014 there were already 102 acts of violence against transgender people, and 41% will attempt to commit suicide. Laverne Cox is certainly an authority to speak on these issues since she has either experienced these things first hand or knows plenty who have.…

    Matrix Of Domination Summary

    129) he argues that in our future studies, there will be decolonial gendered history, “with perspectives that do not deny, dismiss, or negate what is unfamiliar, but instead honors the differences between and among us.” This particular argument ties in well with the ColorLines article and videos on race and intersectionality which help us understand the importance of organizing across difference rather than the dominant/hegemonic US'ian idea of organizing around sameness. In the ColorLines article and videos, each of the interviewees was not just female or male, not just heterosexual or homosexual, and not just this or that. No person is just one thing, people are complex and have many aspects that make them who they are and they cannot, nor want to, choose to be just one of them. However, the way in which society is set up, people usually have to choose one of their identities over the others which has to do with organizing around sameness rather than differentness. There are certain settings where being a woman is a key feature for someone, such as which bathroom they should use in public or a setting where sexuality would be key feature would be in church possibly. People cannot use any public restroom they desire due to unspoken rules set in place and people do not bring up their sexuality in church so they are not dammed to hell. What should be noted it that these organizing groups all happen in public because…
