Caitlyn Jenner Is Not a "Hero"
When Bruce Jenner, notable Olympic athlete, decided to become a transgender woman at the time when the nation was, and still is, divided by LGBTQ concerns, she represented freedom from oppression for all transgender women. Caitlyn Jenner did for herself and the LGBTQ community a great thing; she opened herself up to public scrutiny and encouraged love and support for all genders. But her actions as of late lead me to believe she is not worthy of the accolades the press gives her. From a drunk driving incident that left a woman dead, to continuing to use a country club male membership, it seems that most issues a transgender woman faces in life Caitlyn can skirt by using affluence and social connections.
