Do a bruce jenner?

INTRO- I sat cross-legged quietly on the rug in my room in front of my laptop one hot afternoon,gazing intently at the computer screen,totally lost in my reverie when Hamz breezily walked into my room whose door was left ajar to let in cool wind,he tapped me softly on the shoulder and as I turned startingnly to face him,he looked me straight in the eye and with a worried facial expression asked me,

"Maj! I would like to know,will you one day like bruce jenner announce to us that you feel trapped in your body,that you feel your sex is wrong and want to be a woman?"


His utterance took me unawares,hitting me straight like poisoned darts,I wasn't expecting it at all. To say I was mortified to death would be stating the obvious,my jaws fell to the ground,a smile trickling in through the sides of my mouth in a state of amusement dashed with utter shock.

When after what seemed like forever and was able to recover myself,I sighed and in no mood to fight or argue,simply told him no,he smiled and excitedly fished out a folded piece of paper from his back pocket and handed it over to me,I asked him what it was and he said himself,Karl and QT came together to write a piece on me after seeing the buzz bruce jenner's planned intention to change his sex created all over the internet and asked themselves how they would react if one day in the future,I decide to tow that line,

Letting out a petrified exhale followed by a long pause,I suddenly bursted out laughing,I held my waist and laughed  so hard,shaking my head whilst opening the sheet to read what they wrote while telling him he and our other brothers were jobless guys who had a lot of free time on their hands. So I flicked the sheet open and here goes :-

KARL- Seeing Maj for the first time when I got here from america to join this family,I saw a quiet looking lad but who had the mien of a fighter who ostensibly had struggled and fought personal demons (insecurity) and society much of his life,I see how he retreats into his shell when outside the house,talks less when in a gathering of strangers to keep his insecurity from being noticed but totally letting go and unbothered If for some reasons someone tries to cheat him or someone else,he forgets his amazing flaws and speaks out,not caring whose ox is gored, Maj has a beautiful soul and whoever reads this and knows him on a personal level would agree with me,you would totally fall in love with him on first conversation,he has a highly intellectual way of holding evolved conversations and gets you sucked into loving his personality with his jokes and when he notices you are nowhere near his level of intelligence,calms down and comes down to your level to
humbly pick you up...that is if you want it,he's that understanding,amiable and cerebral.

What's there not to love about my dear brother Maj,he makes our lives a lot easier,very orderly,he would for the umpteenth time arrange neatly our rooms,kitchen and sitting areas,not because he has on OCD about it but because,to him,he sees a scattered room as seemingly screaming,he cooks our food,always volunteering and helping people in need whenever he can while he deals with an overwhelming pain of his insecurities which to me I find silly because am like, "what's not to love about maj? "

So whilst watching the bruce jenner-sawyer interview and QT chipped in,asking how would we would react if someday Maj decides to change his sex,I laughed and called it silly,Maj is way grounded and grown to love himself, besides,have you met Maj's Mom? Lol, She raised tough boys who are stable and can handle anything,they were brought up to appreciate and see the beauty of God's creation however unconventional it seems to the human eye,Maj is fine, a beautifully flawed variety of the human specie, he's totally fine,so haters,leave him the fuck alone or you have me to contend with *flexes muscles*


HAMZ- From my earliest memories of knowing Maj,I saw an elder brother who is always there to protect me,I was and maybe still a stubborn boy who way back as a kid always got into trouble but Maj always had my back and shields me from reprimanding adults,I didn't see anything special in what he did,as far as I was concerned,it was his prerogative to watch over me as my immediate elder brother.

For the most part of his early years,Maj lived his life as a virtual recluse and I didn't understand why,I knew people teased him often,some of it brutal and others mild but I never realised it affected him so much but knowing Maj personally,blood ties apart,I saw a beautiful human being in and out who couldn't at the beginning handle the attention of being referred to as a beautiful boy with the soft voice who should have been born a woman but strive to stay afloat it all,apparently,some of us work so hard for our happiness than others and with that,I could understand how bruce jenner must have felt all his life,so I thought,if Maj and bruce felt this way,what would the gay ones say? It made me more accepting of just about anyone,irrespective of how they were created by God and obviously I couldn't make fun of effeminate or girly looking men,so do I entertain the fear that someday,Maj would want to change his sex? I can categorically tell you Maj won't
as he's found the greatest love of all in himself with absolutely nothing to change.


QATARI- Maj's secondary school testimonial reads "He's a quiet and responsible student of this school" ,whenever Maj goes through his documents and comes across his testimonial,I see his brow squeeze into a furrow of unease and the reason being that,Maj had always been a bubbly,jovial and outgoing kind of guy but he allowed his insecurities and people's opinion cripple his happiness and what he wanted for so long which is to go out there and get active,join his favourite sport games,enlist in school approved clubs and societies but because of his insecurities,jibes and teases got to him easily and I watch him battle for so long with himself to conform to society's idea of "normal" and the even more arduous task of developing a titanium skin,he feels like his testimonial should have read differently,praising his contributions to the development of the school in terms of the glory brought to it in sports and other educational activities hence cringing
whenever he sees his testimonial.

Watching bruce jenner relay how unhappy he had been for so long and now wants to be a woman,my thoughts went straight to Maj,would he one day want that? The thoughts immediately got crushed when I realised how much Maj loves making love to women and wouldn't want to miss that for anything but not before I had voiced out my thoughts to my brothers.

That said,even though I found bruce's resolve quite confusing,it came from my sense of humanity to be understanding and that I have a sibling who almost share the same plight as him and made me sympathetic to people like that.

Maj has all of my love and bruce,all of my support.


I heaved  a heartfelt sigh as I folded back the paper,Hamz pointed at the paper,asking me to make sure it gets on the blog,I batted my eyelids rapidly in dismay as he continued,trying to sound like a celeb who is doing something wonderful for a worthy cause,

"...To get the message across to all amazeballs and followers of the Keeping Up With D Adagiris blog that love is what the world needs and how it is much easier and freer to love than hate,most importantly, to set examples as "public figures" ,not to hate on femininely inclined men or men who seem to look rather pretty"

We both laughed at "public figure",I stood up from the rug and tapping the sheet continuously while pondering over whether or not to put it on my blog,I thought,

"What the hell,on the blog it goes"

As much as it felt quite uncomfortable that my brothers discussed and agreed to write a piece on an insecurity of mine,it also felt good to know they cared so much about me and loved me to pieces,this is because,If you live with them,except for Karl,QT and Hamz don't always show they care that much,so it sort of made my day and as for doing a bruce jenner, well,my darling brothers,you were close to the truth which is,as much as I salute bruce for his courage to live his truest life,I am most comfortable with how I am.

So show love to everyone today irrespective of how they were created...just because!
