Caitlyn Jenner: Trans community thinks I’m too controversial | Entertainment

entertainment">Presenter Michael Bosstick compared Jenners coming-out with that of Elliot Page, who was known before coming out as actress Ellen Page. According to Bosstick, people responded with a lot more understanding for him than for Jenner. “I think it’s great that your family has provided so much support, but I still have mixed feelings about it. You got a lot of shit on you back then, including from Hollywood people. And those same people are now cheering for another transition. How about that, do you think? ”

entertainment">To this replied Caitlyn: „I have to be careful with this. The transgender community is probably the most discerning audience in the world. But because of my past as a white, rich and successful man, I am not a good ‘signboard’ according to them. I lived a life full of privileges and I can’t blame them for that. ”

entertainment">Despite Jenner’s understanding of the situation, she is disappointed. “I thought and hoped that I could make a difference. But I am considered to be too controversial, also because I have stated that I am more Republican than Democratic. That is very sensitive here now. I have sometimes donated money to organizations, who then asked me not to attend their events because of my statements. That was pretty tough, but it doesn’t stop me from continuing to fight for what I believe in. ”
