Caitlyn Jenner, formally known as Bruce Jenner, is a good role model to the younger transgender society. Transgender people should be as accepted as everyone else is because so many people do not accept something that is not considered the 'norm'. She has increased visibility of transgender right and shows that you should be confident in who you are. Caitlyn Jenner has now given young transgender people somebody to relate to. These are some of the many reasons why Caitlyn Jenner is a good role model.
Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner definitely increased the opinions and views on transgender and civil rights. When Caitlyn Jenner was formally Bruce Jenner, stepfather to the Kardashians, he was extremely famous. There was no way that Caitlyn could reveal herself without attracting media attention. An already famous person changing their living style is huge in the media, causing lots of publicity and attraction to the topic of transgender rights. Yet it causes a lot of negative comments to be made on the subject and Caitlyn is very brave to change herself the way she did, showing why she is

Because of Caitlyn being a large media attraction it is hard for teens, whose everyday use is technology, to ignore what is happening on the internet. Caitlyn has raised awareness so others like herself have a chance to live a better life, with more empathy and less hate or negative comments towards them. Many young transgenders feel like it is wrong to be themselves because of the way society has trained them to think. Caitlyn Jenner is someone for all young transgenders to relate to, definitely making her a good role model as she is building confidence in not only transgenders, but anyone that feels like they are not accepted. A staggering 41% of transgender people have committed suicide in just the United States! That is a ridiculous amount of deaths all because of one

Bruce Jenner was born on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York. Bruce was the second of four children of William and Estelle Jenner. Bruce was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age and always struggled in school, yet somehow always seemed to excelled at sports. Following high school, Bruce accepted a scholarship from Graceland College in Iowa for football. After he suffered a knee injury it restricted him to only playing either basketball or track, he then made the decision to switching over to running track and field. His coach then encouraged him to start training for the 1972 Olympics. Something I found interesting was that his father William Jenner had competed in the U.S. Army Olympics in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945, and won a silver medal in the 100-yard dash. When Bruce competed in the 1972 decathlon in Munich Germany, Bruce placed third in the Olympic trials and tenth at the actual Munich Games. At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal however, Bruce ended up winning a gold medal and broke a world record, scoring over 8,000 points in the decathlon.

In the column, “From Caitlyn Jenner to Brooklyn High School” (June 11, 2015), Nicholas Kristof argues that as a society it’s easy to make the transgender controversy about which restrooms they would enter or what sport team they would play on; however, the real problem here is acceptance. Kristof supports his claim by first stating how few people view Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender woman, as an inspiring role model with the exception of Spencer and Joshua, then he explains how Spencer, a transgender man, faced many challenges (bullying, attempted suicide) until he entered the Academy for Young Writers, a school that accepted Spencer for who he really is, next Kristof introduces Joshua, who doesn’t identify as a boy or a girl yet, and also has
In the hit show Orange is the new black there are lots of sexual tensions. For example one of the oscar nominated characters in the show is Laverne cox. Cox plays as an inmate in jail and she is her truth on the show which is transgender, and she is a phenomenal actress. Cox took a lot of negative talk when she first started on the show, but the show has multiple lesbian and transgender characters. Laverne Cox is an advocate speaker and goes on tours to speak to gay and transgender people. This is a positive thing to do to help some of these kids and adults realize it 's okay to be different, nothing is more important than living as your true self. Cox said in an interview, “ to love a transgender, is revolutionary.” “With more than 50% of transgender teens commit suicide before they even turn 20 it is clear that the societal inclination to generalize gender identity based on physical attributes present at birth results not only in the denial of basic human rights, but appears to be the impetus for this startling epidemic of suicide,” according to
Do you feel that Mike Tyson’s actions are justifiable when he bit off a piece of Heavy-Weight Champion Evander Holyfield’s ear during a re-match in the late 1990s?
Throughout the years, she tried to hide the fact that she was a woman trapped in a man’s body, but eventually, that subsided. Gladwell stated: “But if you're taking on a powerful and organized establishment you have to be a hierarchy” (Gladwell 237). In other words, Gladwell is saying that in order to initiate a trend, it should be an individual who stands up for what he or she believes in, regardless of the cost. Caitlyn was a prime example of one who stands with bravery and took a risk, confessing to everyone the transition that was happening in her life. This courageous action influenced and touched the hearts of many people, allowing other transgender individuals to act freely and not hide his or her identity.
A tragic hero is someone who is beloved by many people but had one flaw that completely destroyed them. Mike Tyson was one of the world’s greatest boxers of all time, but he made some fatal mistakes that led to his downfall in the boxing industry. He was the heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 1986. After multiple sexual assault charges and doing drugs before matches, Tyson lost his title as champion. Tyson filed for bankruptcy and eventually retired from boxing.
There are a lot of people in the real world who are just ignorant about transgender people. We need someone to educate the world on this. An essay written by an 11-year-old transgender child named Sadie Croft has been circulating in social media, bringing its clear call for transgender equality to wider attention. The essay, titled "Sadie 's Dream for the World," envisions a time when the discrimination and stigma that transgender people face on a daily basis at every age will be over. Sadie writes, "It would be a better world if everyone knew that transgender people have the same hopes and dreams as everyone else. We like to make friends and want to go to school. Transgender people want to get good jobs and go to doctors like they are exactly the same. It really isn 't that hard to like transgender people because we are like everyone else" (Michelson, 2013). According to Huffington Post, Sadie began transitioning in kindergarten socially, and her moving words come on the heels of President Obama 's historic inauguration speech, in which he called for gay and lesbian people to be treated like anyone else under the law. It is so encouraging to see a transgender youth coming out at an earlier age and showing the world who she is. Her stories are piling up, and awareness is in the atmosphere. Sage has an awesome family, who supports her and gives an inspiration for other parents out there less ashamed of finding out their child is transgender. We still have a long way to go in
The American dream is most definitely attainable in the United States, present day. Mike Tyson is a man of great strength, he his best known for his gift of boxing; which is a symbol of America, strength. Mike Tyson was able to do things that people believed was impossible.

Over the past few years, the issues faced by people who identify as transgender (gender dysphoric) have gained momentum in the media. From Caitlyn Jenner to which bathroom to use, transgender people have made a lot of progress in addressing
America prides itself on being one of the most open-minded and tolerant nations in the world. In many cases, it is true. America does allow “the pursuit of happiness” for many, including other religions, immigrants, and, most recently, homosexuals with the passing of the Supreme Court decision which now allows gay marriage throughout the nation. However, when faced with transgenderism, America remains ignorant. A phobia against transgender people is prominent amongst the American people. This hatred and misunderstanding was evident during Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn Jenner. People took to name-calling, used transphobic slurs, and even refused to call Caitlyn Jenner by the pronoun she felt comfortable with. Due to this is a high-profile
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, who used to be a man, transitioned this spring to become a woman. This October, Caitlyn Jenner was honored as Glamour magazine’s Woman of The Year. She has faced many criticism ever since she has transitioned and got many more after receiving this particular award. Caitlyn transitioned because she felt as if she had lied to herself and the world. She had a big secret and did not want to live her life like this. She is now a happy transgender woman.
An outlier is somebody that is distant from the rest. A person that you may classify as unique from those who may be standard or parallel to everyone else. You may not see it however, surrounding us we are permeated with outliers. Kendall Jenner is an outlier of our time because she had work ethic, family, and opportunity.
