So overdramatic dear lord. "The fight"...

I love Rose! What she said about Caitlyn was true tho. I don't understand why she got some hate, she wasn't even being transphobic.

Of course she is not transphobic. If you can love Marilyn Manson, you can love anyone.

This. I thought Rose's initial issue was with Caitlyn winning at the Glamour Woman of the Year awards?

On Monday, the actress went on a tirade on Facebook in response to comments from one of Glamour’s Women of the Year, Caitlyn Jenner, to Buzzfeed. Backstage at the event, Jenner had told reporters that “The hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear. It’s always that way; I never thought it would come to this. I had really no sense of style.” But she added, “It’s more than that. I’m kind of at this point in my life where I’m trying to figure this womanhood thing out. It is more than hair, makeup, clothes, all that kind of stuff. There’s an element here, that I’m still kind of searching for. And I think that’ll take a while. Because I think as far as gender, we’re all on a journey. We’re all learning and growing about ourselves. And I feel the same way.”

After getting wind of Jenner’s recent comments, McGowan apparently felt similarly fired up to do something, and took to Facebook. The post has since been deleted, but CNN reports it read, “Caitlyn Jenner you do not understand what being a woman is about at all. You want to be a woman and stand with us – well learn us. We are more than deciding what to wear. We are more than the stereotypes foisted upon us by people like you. You’re a woman now? Well f__king learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege. Woman of the year? No, not until you wake up and join the fight. Being a woman comes with a lot of baggage. The weight of unequal history. You’d do well to learn it. You’d do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long f__king shot.”

She said that if Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a woman Caitlyn has to know the fight other than deciding what cute outfit to wear. She believes Caitlyn has the advantage of male privilege.

I don't think Rose is transphobic but I do think she is a bit of a mess.

no she is transphobic. or at least transphobic to ppl that underwent male to female transition
because her main problem is with how Caitlyn had male privileged her entire life up until she became Caitlyn...however that is the exact same story for ALL male to female trans ppl...hence making her a hater of something that is inevitable...ultimately making her transphobic.

Caprice

What Caitlyn said was misogynistic and stupid but Rose literally used the words "if Caitlyn wants to be a woman" which implies that she decided to be that way, which is transphobic.

Corsola

She made a good point but there is absolutely no denying that the way she worded it was transphobic.

Morissette

So annoying to hear everyone labeled "transphobic" so quickly. Are people not allowed to disagree with transpeople? Just because the media kisses Caitlyn's butt, doesn't mean everyone else has to. I mean, she is a person at the end of the day and a public figure. She has to take the good with the bad like everyone else. And newsflash, Caitlyn still supports a very anti-LGBT political party. The definition of "transphobic" implies a FEAR of transpeople and I doubt that is the case.

Caitlyn has indeed lived with white male privilege for over 60 years of her life. Maybe women are tired of their very real and painful issues being trivialized by SOME transpeople who feel womanhood only involves shopping and painting your nails. Most of them transition and become stereotypes. Being a woman goes so far beyond that.

I see what she's saying but her word choice was very aggressive. She sounds bitter.

And this isn't the first time I've heard of her being transphobic.

Pretty Lady

She'll say anything for headlines. Get it together, Rose!
