The trouble with Caitlin Jenner (SLGuardian) Sure, it’s terrific to see a sixtysomething woman get modelling gigs. It’s wonderful that a trans woman is being lauded as a beauty icon. It’s flat out fantastic that a fashion brand is making such an effort to support trans people. But. BUT.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this is a pretty brief single link op-ed outragefilter sort of thing around a couple of clickbaity topics: Caitlin Jenner, in particular, as somehow a particularly representative person to use for discussing larger transgender issues (big problem); US election/Trump. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this better (whatever this is except anger about Caitlin Jenner's views), but let us know if you'd like to discuss. -- taz



 
On her reality TV show last week, I Am Cait, Jenner, a lifelong Republican, claimed that Donald Trump “would be very good for women’s rights”. This would be the Trump who is anti-abortion, calls women “fat pigs”, describes breastfeeding as “disgusting”, opposes marriage equality and once mocked a trans beauty contestant on TV.
That's a pretty big But.
