Audrey Hepburn by Howell Conant, 1962
Dear anybody who calls Caitlyn “Bruce”, because that was her birth name,
Do you call Marilyn Monroe “Norma”?
Do you call Rihanna “Robyn”?
Do you call Tina Fey “Elizabeth”?
Do you call Whoopi Goldberg “Caryn”?
Do you call Audrey Hepburn “Edda”?
and so many more celebrities by their birth name? Im going to guess you don’t since you respect their choices to be called by something other than their birth name because they don’t feel it fits them.
Caitlyn is not a Bruce. Caitlyn is a Caitlyn. It doesn’t matter that she has been known as Bruce for the past 65 years. Now she wants to be called Caitlyn. Call her Caitlyn.
