In D1 I will be assessing the genetic and social factors on a person’s development; I will be using the David Reimer and few case studies of my own about twins. I will then come to my own conclusion of which one I think is the most important in each story nature or nurture.

Bruce Jenner was born on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York. Bruce was the second of four children of William and Estelle Jenner. Bruce was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age and always struggled in school, yet somehow always seemed to excelled at sports.

Greatness in sports is a status that only very few reach, however to be labeled the greatest athlete of all time is for that one soul individual who excels at all aspects of the game and exceeds every other player in that sport. In my exploratory essay I established what makes an athlete the greatest athlete of all time. In the following paragraph I am going to summarize what makes an athlete the greatest athlete of all time. For the sake of the argument to follow I am going to stick with just the NFL. When I look at the NFL one name comes to mind when thinking about the greatest NFL player of all time. His name is Tom Brady. Tom Brady is the greatest of all time.

Flash draft Jazz Jennings is transgender. In one of her videos she stated, “I have a girl brain and a boy body”. She has a disease called gender dysphoria. She likes Soccer and Cheer, but she couldn't play then for a long time but after a 2½ year battle she

Becker (1963) argues: “…acts of enforcement do not follow automatically on the infraction of a rule. Enforcement is selective, and selective differentially among kinds of people, at different times, and in different situations” (p. 133). Transgendered individuals, those who simply wish to express a gender not assigned to them at birth have been highlighted throughout history as the objects of violence, physical and verbal abuse, and discrimination because of their deviance from the norm. In recent news, the former American Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner admitted to identify more so with the ‘fairer sex’ and decided he would now be assuming female pronouns, and dressing like the typical (glamorized) female. Those made uncomfortable by any queer identity rejected her, but many in support glorified her decision. The rules of gender and gender-bending have been long enforced. When one within the groups breaks the boundary there are repercussions, like violence to that individual. In Dolezal’s case, her race-crossing is a new sort of deviance which requires a new set of values and consequences for her

Perhaps one of the most controversial and influential people today, Caitlyn Jenner has made an impact in sports as well as LGBTQ community and is an advocate for trans rights.

So when I see a man like Bruce Jenner who is now professing to be transgendered, I call baloney on

Born William Bruce Jenner on October 28th, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York, to Esther Ruth and William Hugh Jenner, Bruce’s siblings were Lisa, Pam, and Burt. My earliest memory of Bruce Jenner was when he won the gold medal in 1976 in the Decathlon event in Montreal, Canada, during which the legend of Bruce Jenner was conceived and where he increased fame as an all American Hero, and unofficially being baptized the “World’s Greatest Athlete. In 1977, Jenner donned the cover of the Wheaties box, called the breakfast of champions, and developed into a cultural icon.

6. In interview with John he reports that he has struggled with gender identity issues since childhood. He explained that he would experiment with presenting as a female. John stated that he became very confused by his feelings and emotions about his gender, and was comfortable playing with roles and adapt female mannerisms. He advised that once he commenced university studies that he felt that he ‘conformed’, but continued to emotionally struggle with his identity. This conformity continued through his career, and it was not until he posted to Sydney that he became more open about his feelings and emotional responses about being a female. John explained that in 2006/07 that he became affiliated with the transgender community and felt more

A Big Change for Me My son was born as Bruce Jenner on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco in New York. He earned a scholarship for football to a College named Graceland. Sadly a knee injury stopped him from playing it. It was very ironic for him to had been known for a male athlete in the Summer Olympics in Montreal Canada, in the year 1976 who put the decathlon first who then set the world record of 8,616 points crossing the finish line. She is now 65 and is already living his life as a woman has exclusively learned from makeup, to mannerisms, and clothes. It's shocking to find out that after this whole change he is now a she and is making the decision to say that she wants to return to being a man, even though the gender transition is already

2. Explain how Bruce Jenner handled being transgendered at different stages of his life. Jenner said that as a boy, he was very lonely and never fit in with other people. In fact, he still feels like he doesn’t fit into our society because he is transgender. He admitted that as a young child, he secretly wore dresses and went out of the house covering his head with a scarf so that no one would recognize him. As an Olympic champion, Jenner stated that he was very confused and was focused only on running away from his gender identity issues, using the Olympics and his athleticism as a way to do so. As a husband, he felt very flustered and restless in his marriages and said that he had to deal with

Bruce Jenner Story William Bruce Jenner was considered to be one of the best athletes of his time. Bruce was born on October 28, 1949, in Mount Kisto, New York (Bruce Jenner (n.d). His parents were William and Esther Jennings. Bruce who was the second oldest had three sisters and a younger brother Burt, who dies during a car accident 1976 the same year, Bruce would go on to win the decathlon (Witheridge, 2015). But before Bruce would ever become to gold medal winner at the Olympic or have his face on a box of Wheaties cereal, there was something dark growing inside of Bruce no one knew. Caitlyn would later say that Bruce had two secrets that he did not share openly with the world. First, Bruce at a young age would be diagnosed with dyslexia, which made him have very low self- esteem as a child (Bissinger, 2015). Secondly, Bruce by the age of 10, would like to go in the closet and dress up in his mother's clothes (Bissinger, 2015).

Jesse Owens an Olympian, is known as a track runner. For many he is a well depicted legend, hero, and leader. With that said Jesse Owens is a different kind of leader, took his gift as an outstanding athlete to show the world no matter what hardship one may be

The manifestation of being “trapped in the wrong body” is a well-documented component of the transgender narrative that summarizes the psychosocial stress of the experiences of many transgender people (e.g., Mason-Schrock 1996; Prosser, 1998). ‘Wrong body’ is employed accordingly to elucidate how an individual’s biological sex and body do not match his or her gender identity, a “person’s basic sense of being male, female, or of indeterminate sex” (American Psychological Association [APA], 2009, p. 28). Recently in the ABC (a well-recognized American broadcasting company) prime-time television special, American hero of the 1976 Summer Olympics, Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn) shared to Diane Sawyer, an established American news reporter, that s/he was living in the wrong body (April 24, 2015). However, this wrong body personification and associated negative outcomes are not limited to sex and gender. Such experiences can depict other individuals whose identity or sense of self does not match his or her physical body in several additional ways. For example, soon after the Jenner story broke (June of 2015), Rachel Dolezal- civil rights activist and former president of the Spokane (Washington) chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP)- revealed to a reporter from the popular United States television network NBC that she was also born in the wrong body, similar to Jenner, but as “Black” woman in “White” body (Stahlman, 2015). Whereas the
