Transgender people live a truly unique experience. They've had the opportunity to experience life from both sides, wear clothes for both sides and experience both perspectives of men and women.

It is normally very easy to tell the gender of a person by looking at him or her. Or is it? How sure can we be that the people we see are really the gender that we assume? We have all watched the news, seen some celebrities opting to change their genders, and become members of the opposite sex.

A good example is the now famous Bruce who became Caitlyn Jenner. The former Olympian became a woman right before the world’s eyes. Everybody has a right to choose how he or she want to live his or her life. This also includes the gender that someone wants to identify with. Some of these transgender people have gone on to become famous and highly paid.

Famous CEOs, models and even TV personalities live transgender lives openly and are not ashamed of the fact that they switched gender. The amount of money in their banks also makes their lives very enviable. Sometimes I ask myself if I would be more of a success if I were of the opposite gender. Think about it, maybe I would be stronger, more open-minded and have different experiences.
