Where does one begin a tale like this? Perhaps at the only place it can, at the beginning. William Bruce Jenner began life as a male approximately 66-years ago, and through the miracle of science has been genetically altered, as a “woman”.
The magazine is expected to formally announce its choice of Jenner as woman of the year, along with actress Reese Witherspoon, on November 3.
Criticism however is already piling up from women who find the choice of Jenner to be demeaning. In a stinging commentary, Nicole Russell writes that by choosing Jenner as woman of the year, “Glamour endorses the idea that men are better at being women than we are.” Russell compares Glamour’s insulting maneuver to a cover of New York Magazine featuring transgender Martine Rothblatt as the “highest-paid female CEO” in the nation.
It would seem by the response of the politically correct crowd that Jenner’s transformation should be celebrated rather than a tale of concern, for those that may embark on this same profound and deep seeded emotional and troubled journey.
