Caitlyn Jenner Sets Record Straight

Last week, Caitlyn Jenner raised a few eyebrows regarding her thoughts on Same Sex marriage while being interviewed by Ellen. At the time she said: "I'm a traditionalist. I'm older than most people in the audience. I kind of like tradition, and it's always been a man and a woman. I'm thinking, 'I don't quite get it."

As it turns out, Ellen was just as confused. Now Caitlyn is setting the record straight...

Jenner posted the following statement to her website last night: "Like many people, there was a time when I didn't realize how important it is for gay couples to have the right to get married. But after hearing from my gay friends and learning more about the hardships they faced because of discrimination, it became clear to me that everyone should be able to marry the person they love. I can only hope that by sharing my story, there's someone out there whose mind has been changed about trans people. Because regardless of whether you are transgender or not, we all have stuff to deal with in our lives... To have the courage to overcome obstacles and be your authentic self is an amazing process to go through. I want you to believe in yourself and know that you can deal with it. You can be okay."

She addd: "I want to continue to grow as a person. In so many ways I feel like I’m a teenage girl discovering herself! I’m still trying to figure out what it means to be a woman and I will continue that process. Because you know what? It's a lot of fun!"

It is a lot of fun being a woman (which is a bonus given all the other stuff we have to go through...) What do you find most fun about being female? Is it the dressing up or the prerogative to change our minds?
