Dear Caitlyn Jenner,
I must admit, I don’t know you personally. Your Olympic triumphs were before my time, and I’ve never followed your ventures in film or racing. In fact, I’ve never tuned into your family’s reality show—sorry, but reality TV just isn’t my thing.
However, your heartfelt interview with Diane Sawyer announcing your transition to living as a woman truly captured my attention. It’s a moment that resonates deeply, even though our experiences are quite different. While my gender aligns with my physical form, we share a common humanity and a quest for happiness that sometimes requires us to navigate significant transitions.
I relate to your journey because my own father experienced a similar path. Nearly two decades ago, during a family gathering, my father shared with me that he identified as a woman. Despite my initial surprise, I embraced her with love and support. As she transitioned into living as Josephine, I walked beside her through every step.
Your experience reminds me a lot of Josephine’s, albeit without the fame and fortune. I stand with her, and I stand with you too.
People often wonder what it’s like to have a transgender parent. At first, it was confusing. I stumbled over language and felt a significant loss, as if I had lost my father. But love can bridge those gaps, allowing us both to grow through our respective transitions. Now, I see Josephine fully embracing her true self, and her happiness brings me joy.
When Josephine transitioned, we lacked role models outside the transgender community. We had to navigate uncharted waters without many examples to guide us. Thankfully, things are changing, and you and your family are helping to lead the way.
I was moved when I saw your children publicly expressing pride in you. Their messages of love and support filled my heart. Even Kanye West, with his unique perspective, articulated something profound—life’s true value comes from authenticity. We should all be free to pursue our true selves, and we each take different paths to get there.
Despite our differences, I wholeheartedly support your journey toward living authentically. You hold a unique position to spread a message of acceptance and understanding. The very visibility that presents challenges for you can also serve as a powerful platform for good.
As you continue to navigate your transition, know that it will come under scrutiny. Yet, with your family’s love and a growing community of supporters, I hope you stride forward with confidence.
You expressed fears of disappointing others, and while I may not be on your radar, I want you to know that you have inspired me instead. You’ve brought pride and happiness into my life. On behalf of myself and my family, I thank you for your courage and for being a beacon of hope.
In closing, I eagerly await the chance to address you by your new name when you’re ready. Embrace this journey.
Warmest wishes,
Alex, a fellow human being
