It must be great for the trans community to have such a figure, but I find some of her statements deplorable. I'd personally be offended by her lack of understanding in certain topics. It's like she wants to be accepted as a woman, but not a transsexual who is a part of a much bigger community.
Whatever, congrats I guess. I still don't understand what she's done other than offend everyone.
Woman of the year, never to be transsexual of the year.

What are you talking about?
Of course she wants to be accepted as a woman and not 'a transsexual', do you realise how degrading that is? 'Transsexual' isn't a third gender, she is FEMALE. I think you mean to say 'trans(sexual) woman'.
I know what you are trying to say, in her show she referred to her own community as 'they' like she wasn't a part of it, but if you watched it you'd see that her friends quickly clocked her about her mistake. She is old and comes from a completely different generation and she is learning.
And she's done a LOT other than 'offend everyone', she has opened doors for trans people and is spreading awareness for the issue just by existing. Caitlyn Jenner is an icon and you will deal
