Why is Caitlyn Jenner news?

So last week Bruce Jenner made the life altering choice to change himself to Caitlyn Jenner and the media took to this like the first oasis in a desert. The tabloids have been filled with nothing but how Bruce's transformation is shocking and the country has literally gone nuts talking about it. Honestly, as much as I'm an advocate for the choice of sexual identity, I'm pretty tired of the Kardashians and Jenners in the news. Seriously, why are they famous again?

Bruce's choice to do whatever he does to his body if his and his alone to make. It honestly isn't anyone's business and I don't know why people are making such a big deal about it. There have been plenty of other people going through the procedure who haven't ever gotten any screen time or done interviews. Hell I live in San Francisco, one of the most sexually ambiguous cities in the world. You could be anything or anyone you wanted. Between the furry orgies to the all day sex-themed festivals that happen here regularly, I'm honestly surprised the media is giving something as miniscule as this the attention it's been getting.

I mean sure I'm impressed that Bruce went through such a drastic life change at such a late age in his life, and that's gotta take a toll on the body with the hormones and drugs, and eventual operation (if it didn't already happen) so kudos on doing it so late. But giving it as much hype as it's been getting is ridiculous.

And one of the things that bugs me the most about all of this is that Caitlyn is getting all of this attention in the media about this sex change and isn't doing anything good with it. It'd be another thing if she intended to go around speaking at events that helped educate people on the matter and how important it is to individuals to feel comfortable in their own bodies, but Caitlyn is doing what all the other Kardashians are doing with their lives. Honestly not doing a single gosh darn thing to benefit the greater good bugs me. Go Caitlyn for living your own life, but get out of the spotlight. More important things need to be discussed.
