There may be something more radical about Caitlyn Jenner than being a trans woman, and that’s the fact that she’s a total right wing nut job. We’re all really starting to get fed up with it too. Adding to the pile of BS, here’s what she had to say, this time about Hillary Clinton, on the March 6 premiere of “I am Cait”:
“It’s the last place I want to be, but I’m open. We need both sides, and if we’re unfortunate enough get Hillary as our next president, we need her on our side. Although she won’t be — she couldn’t care less about women. She cares about herself.”
While that alone seems like a fair (but misguided) opinion of a politician who has often been criticized of being center-right rather than progressive, it seems that Jenner is in fact in support of Sen. Ted Cruz for President. Oh, and she even admitted that Cruz won’t fight for women or the LGBT community.
Cruz, by the way, is extremely anti-women and anti-LGBT. He’s not just pro-life. He also voted against amendments to the Violence Against Women Act that would seek to expand protection to LGBT and Native American individuals.
Come on, Cait. Screw your head on straight!
As a sort of spokeswoman by accident for the trans community, it’s a shame that she would take such an anti-progressive stance in this election. And this election may serve to decide more about human rights than any election in recent history. The left is seeking to advance women’s and LGBT rights, but the GOP is seeking to take rights away. The LGBT community would be especially affected.
We’ve known that Jenner has a “traditional” stance on marriage for quite some time now. She has even stated she believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
I guess it’s just hard to believe that someone who was brave enough to change her gender identity publicly could be so closed-minded and seemingly against her own support community.
It might be best for the trans community if she would just keep to herself and fade into obscurity rather than supporting those who spread hatred toward entire communities of people, especially communities she’s supposed to represent.
