Caitlyn: I Am Not A Spokesperson For The Trans Community
When did it occur to you that your coming out could or should be a social justice mission for a broader community?
"I would sit in church and think, in God’s eyes, how does he see me? Am I doing okay with this life? And after talking to my pastor and telling him my whole story, I kind of had a revelation that maybe, at this point in my life, this is why God put me on this earth. Maybe it is time to speak on this issue. I was getting destroyed in the rags, every week walking through the grocery lines there’s some BS story. Never talked to them once. But maybe, maybe out of all the things I’ve done in my life, this could be by far the biggest thing I’ve ever done, to be able to live my authentic self and make a difference in the world, you know? And I thought, what an honor. What a life, to be able to reinvent yourself like that. And I am not a spokesperson for the trans community, I am not. The media kind of projects me as being the spokesperson, but from my standpoint, I am not. I am a spokesperson for my story and that’s all I can tell. And hopefully by telling my story, I can make people think."
This is good that she knows that her experience of being transgender is not reflective at all of what most transgender youth go to. Was ready to drag but
She never said she was a Spokesperson. She simply shared her story and tried to bring awareness. Being a famous person, it's natural she would receive more attention from the press and public than other Trans individuals.
People are just being really ungrateful with these attacks on her.
We don't expect celebrities of other minorities to do the same so I don't know why we expect it of Cait.
Raven Symone gets constant backlash regarding her comments, as do women who make comments like ("I am not a feminist, I love men"). So I wouldn't say this is true at all
Nobody want her to be the spokeswoman for anything. How do you want people to accept you for who you, and in the same sentence don't want gay people to get married. Some people even consider her a abomination and not even a real person so why she wants to judge people is beyond me.
