"But life isn't something that should be edited. Life shouldn't be cut. The only way you'll ever discover what it truly means to be alive and human is by sharing the full experience of what it means to be human and each blemish and freckle that comes with it." -Iain Thomas

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." -Steve Jobs

I’m tired of seeing posts that depict soldiers and saying that Caitlyn Jenner is not brave and courageous because soldiers are. Soldiers are extremely brave. They give up their lives to protect us. They have the kind of courage that a lot of people cannot fathom. You will never hear me say any different.

However, these posts imply that they are the only ones allowed to show bravery. Rosa Parks showed bravery. Martin Luther King Jr showed bravery. Gandhi showed bravery. These people were not soldiers. They did however have the courage to stand up for what was right and against all odds, they are heroes. I'm not comparing Caitlyn to these people. I am merely saying that anyone can be a hero.

In today’s judgmental world, it takes courage to be who you are. It takes courage to come out as transgender. It takes courage to come out as lesbian or gay or bisexual or anything. Caitlyn Jenner is a hero. She may not have fought for our country, but she has paved the way and inspired many people to come out as transgender. That takes courage, especially with her celebrity status.

Everyone needs to realize that heroes come in all forms. From soldiers to citizens. Please don’t downplay this amazing progress in the world. Caitlyn Jenner is an inspiration to so many people.
