Celeb News: Caitlyn sparks controversy over "man in dress" comment

But that was nothing compared to the fury ignited by her most recent comments about her transition, which have many people accusing the transgender reality star of being transphobic herself.

The comments in question were made during Caitlyn’s latest interview with TIME magazine, in honor of her earning a place on its “Person of the Year” shortlist.

“One thing that has always been important for me, and it may seem very self-absorbed or whatever, is first of all, your presentation of who you are,” she said. “I think it’s much easier for a trans woman or a trans man who authentically kind of looks and plays the role. So what I call my presentation. I try to take that seriously. I think it puts people at ease. If you’re out there and, to be honest with you, if you look like a man in a dress, it makes people uncomfortable.”

She had such a great start and had a good chance to be a great model for the community but her transitioning is starting to feel like she had a fetish for it. Everything she says has some undertones of it.

This bitch is SUCH A ****ing JOKE

Why is she like this. She could've been such a good role model for the trans community but instead she makes herself look like a fool

I'm confused as to what the issue with her statement is? She is simply saying that a transgender individual whom doesn't look like their intended gender WILL make people uncomfortable. It is not her opinion it is an objective observation of pretty much most of the world... People today are still relatively uncomfortable around transgender people just like the same people were uncomfortable around gay people 60 years ago... Caitlyn does enough other BS to call her out for but this one... not so much.

Here's a response about this that I think accurately reflects my feelings on her "man in a dress" comment:

Quote:

[her comments] aren't really wrong, they're just poorly worded. she basically just said, in her own ignorant words, that not passing makes cis people uncomfortable. which is true. cis people are transmisogynistic as ****, and society is as well, which is why Caitlyn Jenner has so much internalized transmisogyny and internalized lesbophobia.

but instead of focusing on criticizing the behavior and mores and unspoken rules of cissexist and transmisogynistic society, yall will overlook the root cause and go straight for the most commonly exploited victim: trans women.

you arent really interested in solving transmisogyny or the kinds of problems faced by trans women at large. you just want to stifle trans women from talking about their own experiences, insert yourself into discussions that should be had by trans women amongst themselves, and use this one popular example as an echo chamber for your own transmisogyny.

Edit:
And really I would love to know how many of you calling her a "bitch", "dumbass" etc. are trans or even know what you're talking about. I'm willing to bet I can catch some of y'all in other threads making fun of SJWs or other trans people or anything else you deem "tumblr things". Ignorant ass hoes

Lyrical.

What a dumbass thing to say.

So?
If it doesn't fit your ideals is wrong?

Calling her "he" shows just how disgusting your character is.
