I didn't watch the TV broadcast, but I found it on the web.
I'm sure Bruce's public revelation will help. Here just one message to me in response to my asking who among my FB cis friends watched it.
I did see it, Clara. I also thought this is Clara's story, I did appreciate the interview as it opened my eyes even more to some of the realities we have always taken for granted, but have not been real. Hope this makes sense helen
Being transgender itself is not the source of the our mental distress once hormonal balance is corrected. It's the overwhelming feelings of shame, guilt, and fear of being misunderstood and stigmatized by society that causes the internal conflict and pain.
I know that the image that some have of transgender people has been influenced by TV talk shows, movies, and the porn industry. I hope that the stories of people like Bruce Jenner, Kristen Beck, Janet Mock, and others will help bring about a less shallow and distorted view of this very natural variation in human fetal development.
