NEWS.- Today May 1 we could write about the links that have united the trajectories of two struggles, the labor movement and the rights of the LGTBI community and how well the film reflects "Pride" which we highly recommend. But at the end of the day is the day of work and we can not think of a better way to celebrate it than to work.
Especially when we have news like today that has shaken the transsexual collective. Bruce Jenner, patriarch of the Kardashian clan, stepfather of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe and father of Kendal and Kylie, has become a transgender icon overnight by declaring in an interview for ABC that she feels like a woman and that she wants to be identified as a woman. To the surprise of the veteran journalist Diane Sawyer, he claimed. "Yes, for all intents and purposes, I am a woman. My brain is much more feminine than masculine. People find it difficult to understand, but so is my soul. "
It is ironic the gap between public life and the secret that kept its privacy. "The real story in the family was the one I hid, of which nobody knew anything. What could really bring about a change in people's lives was inside my soul, and I could not tell that story. "
Bruce became a national idol after winning the gold medal of Decathlon at the Montrea Olympic Gamesl. In the middle of the cold war that triumph became a symbol, since I humble the favorite, the Russian athlete Avilov who could only get the third place. His image invaded the US, appeared in the cereal boxes, married a former Elvis Presley, starred in television series and could even be seen in the musical “Can't stop the music” by Village People. Men imitated him and women wanted him. Handsome, young, muscular, he was undoubtedly the symbol of American masculinity.
Today, after three marriages, at age 65, the hero has rewritten his story by making public his desire to be who he always wanted to be, a woman. The controversy is served because there are those who accuse the Kardashian clan of playing with private information to further promote the frivolous sale of their family life and their image. But it is fair to recognize that the dignified and sincere declaration of the clan patriarch, precisely because of the media coverage it enjoys, will do much more for the recognition of transsexuals, than the offended statements and banners of those who accuse him of wanting to commercialize their condition of transsexual.
