okaaaay then.
Ugh. Meanwhile, how about the real world, where us Transpeople without money are forced to choose between transition and school. Struggling to afford hormones and therapy, let alone anything else. Those struggling to tell their families or those that have been abandoned by them.
Trying to keep our heads above water so maybe just maybe one day our transition will be complete, before we kill ourselves or get murdered being found out in a bathroom.
At least with the Democrats in place there's a chance for hope. Laws to protect us, not push us back into hiding. Healthcare that could help with those expensive surgeries and counseling sessions, once you get through that it's really maintenance and more manageable, even at a lower income. Education assistance so you can get a degree. Then you can cover more of your own transition expense and find that career, instead of resorting to adult films or crime.
Combine all that and we all, not just the rich, have a chance to become complete. Pass like we never were XX or XY. No more suicides. No more murders. We become something. Productive members of society who will reinvest in that system tenfold through stability and work.
Sure as hell won't happen with Ted Cruz.

That's encouraging to read. I guess I've just been basing my assumption too much on the media hype. The trans community deserves so much better.

I wonder if she and Kanye get into spats. Kanye isn't a fan of republicans at all.

I swear she acts like being able to make the switch is a privilege only for rich people, as if poor or even middle class folks aren't suffering even worse than she did. Almost like "Well yeah, I can pay for the therapies and look great and be happy. But you other, less fortunate people? Pff, get lost."
We don't exist to rich people so it makes sense.

Why support someone that hates you?
I really don't understand her. I'll be the first to admit that there's a lot I don't understand about being trans, but I firmly believe that all people deserve respect and to be treated kindly. I can't understand how she could be a member of such a marginalized group and not prioritize them politically.
In addition to that, she's previously spoken out against gay marriage, but she's recently indicated she's open to dating men in the future. So no matter how she views herself or views her past, she must have had an attraction to both sexes her whole life. So how could she view homosexual marriage negatively?
Her politics seems so contrary to her life and who she is.

She has proven more than once that she is not very smart
But she's an athlete AND a Reality TV star. How could that combination possibly turn out tobe less than brilliant?

I'm not surprised that she is this out of touch with the reality of her situation. This is the person that also said that the hardest part about being a woman is "figuring out what to wear". I mean, come on.
Uh, I'm betting Cruz's opinion of you has changed, Caitlyn.

Smart enough to stick it in the "right" woman and to stay around to reap the benefits.

She revealed this recently as well.
Caitlyn Jenner says she gets more 'flak' for being a Republican than trans

Rich people are apparently above social issues. Or at least her taxes are more important than being trans, and having acceptance.
Soooooooo rich person votes to improve their bottom line. Everything else is nothing.

She said before she was Republican during that Barbara Walters interview. Not surprised at all with her "fuck you got mine" attitude.

Yep.
Never bought into the PR storm representing her as a trans icon. No thanks. She understands absolutely nothing about the average trans struggles & hardships, and actively supports people who hate us the most on top of that. She has the money to not care. Most of us don't.
yeah, I know about her abhorrent, selfish stance on gay marriage.

What if she's doing it to sabotage Cruz? How would it look to his supporters if a trans person supports him?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Sad, but as someone who is considering doing what she did I'm not too worried about her being someone I'll always be compared to---it's as inane as comparing all cis women to Kris Jenner, and hopefully people realize that. Still, I have to admit I'm very hesitant to tell my parents since my mom absolutely hates Caitlyn Jenner even more than the rest of the Kardashians---though since she's a Republican herself maybe this'll actually win her over in a way. :/
Rich people are above anything it seems.

I'm sure there's lots of the "good ones".
Wait, why was Beth banned?
She's not wrong...
I'm one to take things too literally but even I understood her subtext. She's saying you can't put social issues ahead of economic/survival issues. She should be attacked for assuming Obama has been increasing debt when in reality under his presidency the deficit was reversed in 6 years just as much as it did during Bill Clinton's reign in 4 years.
It's Bush's and to specific extent Clinton's fault that the deficit Obama inherited was so large he didn't end up with a surplus before his presidency ends.
