My thoughts on Caitlyn Jenn — oh wait, no one cares

11:56 AM


I’ve been told either to my face or through some sort of ill-constructed grapevine that I am judgmental. It definitely used to hurt my feelings — heck. It still hurts my feelings. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in this area, and I really regret those choices. I’ve what I thought was “called the kettle black” on multiple occasions, but really I was just passing judgement on something I didn’t know much about. After years of denying it, I’m fine with saying that I have been and still am on occasion judgmental.


Now, I’d just like to give you a second to admit the same thing. We’re all judgmental. We are. That in itself, I’ll admit is a judgment. But it’s an astute one.

Once in high school I met my friend’s boyfriend. We interacted for about 20 minutes, and in that short period of time, I managed to offend him three or four times. I think I made a clear (fine, it might have been a little racist) joke. And by racist, I mean it was probably about how I owned a Chevy Impala but wasn’t a Mexican. I don’t know guys, probably not something you say to someone you’ve known for 20 minutes, but also probably not something you cry about.

Given this was years and years ago, I don’t remember the details, but I do remember him saying, “It’s fine — I think you’re a little judgmental — But like.” And I’m like, K, but you’ve known me for a whole 20 minutes and you get to call me judgmental?

Maybe he’s right. Like I’ve said, there’s a good chance he probably is, but goodness, isn’t asserting that someone else is judgmental also exercising judgment? You’re dang right it is. And that’s fine! It’s just super ironic. 

And my friend caught onto this too, and she made him apologize for that exact reason. Oh, the boys we put up with in high school.
With all this Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner, “You’re being judgmental!” “No you’re being judgmental,” talk out there, it’s easy to think that one person is more in the wrong in this area of unrighteous judgment. I won’t go into my thoughts on Caitlyn’s life, because quite honestly this is how I feel about it:

Which, can I also just come out here and say that I’d like to judge our entire generation for blowing up my newsfeed with Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner, “What color is this dress?” and “Fifty Shades of Gag Me,” leggings, and other completely useless, mind-numbing information, when whole countries are falling apart? No thanks to Facebook, I know that Nepal had an earthquake a month ago. Thank you, world for taking more of an interest in a pop culture figure changing his genitalia rather than caring about thousands of dead/ and or homeless people we share this earth with. If you aren’t stressed about this, I don’t know what to say to you.

Then again, I don’t know what to say to myself, because I’m clicking on these articles, and fueling it. It’s a vicious cycle I need to excuse myself from, but in the meantime, I’ll just judge the world and judge myself.

You’re welcome to join me.
