Caitlyn Jenner's Glamour Women of the Year Award and the transphobic backlash
These comments section is dumb on YouTube. When Kaitlyn Jenner receives the Glamour Women of the Year Award, Everybody went completely nuts. Now, Being black, white, Asian, Hispanic, man, woman, gay r straight shouldn't be an achievement. People in this world make something like this an achievement

Re: Caitlyn Jenner's Glamour Women of the Year Award and the transphobic backlash
The 9/11 firefighter who gave back his wife's Woman of the Year Award really pissed me off.
I'll say this. I don't think Caitlin was necessarily the best choice for the award. She may have made some great strides for the trans community this year, but she also was involved in a deadly "accident" that would have resulted in charges if she weren't so famous.
That said, I get a kick out of the faux outrage people are raising. Somehow she isn't as "qualified" as a woman because she is trans? Seriously... who the fuck gave a crap about the ESPY Courage Award until this year? Now it's somehow one of the most prestigious awards in the world? People need to get over themselves.

Re: Caitlyn Jenner's Glamour Women of the Year Award and the transphobic backlash
I'll preface this by pointing out that I'm not an American... (not really sure why though).
What has she done that any other that any other individual that has recently transitioned hasn't?
Been involved in a multiple vehicle collision, avoiding criminal charges, although awaiting the events of two civil suits? Or has been the star of her own reality TV show maybe... Or belittled the efforts of women all over the world in pushing for equality by suggesting 'the hardest part of being a woman is deciding what to wear'.
I don't know a great deal about these awards for 'most glamorous woman' but I can't help but think they'd have a great deal more credibility in their support of transgender women if they gave the award to someone who didn't also happen to be a reality TV star. Of course they might be the entirely vapid type of awards that pander to exactly that type of culture; in which case she probably deserves her win.
Anyhow I have a great deal more respect for those that are brave enough to come out to friends, family and the world at large without the extra incentive of a reality TV cheque.

I believe South Park summed up why she won the award pretty well in all honesty.

comming out at 65 after 2 marriages kids and a ton of money does not make you a hero. A person that is a HERO is sacrifice!!!!! I have been part of thr trans community so long that if you crossedressed you were considered gay. I have followed many people from Rene Rchards to Chriastian Jorgansen. BRUCE JENNER is a fraud!!!
