Caitlyn Jenner was born as William Bruce Jenner on October 28, 1949 and was born to William Hugh and Esther R. Jenner. William and Esther also had three other children, Pam, Lisa and Burt. Impossible to discover much about Bruce during the early stage of life according to Erickson's stages of psychosocial development which were trust versus mistrust. Know that Bruce's mother remained at home with the children. Bruce's father was home every night and the family ate dinner together. Everyone went to church every Sunday and went on family vacations. During the second stage, which is autonomy versus shame and doubt, Bruce said in a 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer that he felt there was something different about him from a very young age. . I assume it may have started during this phase. Bruce's father, when he was around this age, called him "burner" because he was very active. During the third phase, that of the initiative against the sense of guilt. Bruce was wondering why he felt something was missing in his life. Bruce when he was around this age always felt like he didn't fit in. Bruce spent a lot of time alone and really didn't like talking to other kids. During the four phases which were industriousness versus inferiority. At this stage Bruce was diagnosed with dyslexia. Also during this phase, when Bruce was in second grade, he was prevented from repeating second grade again. This is about the age of 8 or 9 Bruce went into his sister's closet and took out a dress and when he took the dress out he marked the spot so he could put it away quickly in case someone came and no one if he had noticed it was out of place. Then he went to his mother's room and took out a scarf so he could put it on his head because he had a short piece... half the paper... it passed. I have cried at times knowing that perhaps there is more to this group of transgender people. There are over 700,000 transgender people. One doctor said that sexual desire depends on the person you sleep with and sex depends on the person you sleep with. Transgender doesn't mean they want to be with the opposite sex. There are some that go both ways. As for Maslow, I feel that Caitlyn has gone through Maslow's hierarchy of needs. She's really trying to help others feel comfortable with the issues they were living with and feel comfortable becoming transgender. He's trying to maybe help stop the suicide and murder rate of people who are trying to become transgender. I feel like people need to let people do what they feel is right for them. I just wish people would leave others alone and worry more about themselves.
