Transbahrain?

Michael Jackson was spotted in Bahrain, kids in tow, wearing a veil and the black robe traditionally worn by women in the Persian Gulf. We're all weary of Michael Jackson's strangeness, but before you judge, consider that Jackson might be taking healthy steps to complete his transition to womanhood. Was it just a convenient disguise or has he finally come to terms with the fact that his gender identity does not match the body he was born with?

Most of us have known Jackson is transgender for years. Back when he made that video statement where he talked about the humiliation of the police taking photos of his penis, I think we all had the same reaction--Jackson has a penis? And if he does, it just doesn't seem that it belongs there. Despite the permanent makeup, the feminine hairdos, the frilly wardrobe and extensive "Make me look like Janet" surgeries, it seems like he is the last person to figure this out.

Before undergoing a sex change, I understand that a person has to live full time in their new gender for a year or more. I would think Bahrain would be one of the least accepting places for a man would to live as a woman. But when you're also the world's most famous pedophiles, your options are limited.

Many will roll their eyes that Jackson has once again managed to surprise us with his weirdness. But, I think living authentically in his true gender identity is one of the healthiest things he could do to put his life back together.
