Well, I had a decent night’s sleep after Bruce Jenner’s big announcement Friday.
He’s a woman … he said.
I looked outside this morning and I discovered that the leaves were still on the trees, the grass is still green, the sky is blue and the sun rose in the east just as it does every single day.
And yet some of us no doubt are tittering and wondering about the individual formerly known as The World’s Greatest Athlete and his decision to “transition” to womanhood.
Do I want to honor his privacy? I believe Jenner surrendered his privacy when he married his third wife and got involved in that reality TV shtick involving her daughters. Plus, he did the two-hour interview last night. No, privacy isn’t it.
The story bores me.
Therefore, I made a key decision this morning upon awakening.
It is that I won’t use this blog to get involved in the international discussion.
I might discuss the issue of transgenderhood in general down the road, sometime and in some other context. There might even be a mention of Jenner in the distant future.
Today? I’m going to take care of business — and wait for the sun to rise in the morning.
