Caitlyn Jenner: Um ... oops!

... Following Trump’s election as president, I saw fertile ground for change within the Republican Party on LGBTQ issues. Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate to claim to support this valuable, vulnerable community, and I was encouraged by the applause he received when he said at the Republican National Convention in July 2016 that he would stand up for the LGBTQ community ...

I believed I could work within the party and the Trump administration to shift the minds of those who most needed shifting. I made many trips to Washington to lobby and educate members of Congress, other Washington policymakers and powerful influencers. These meetings were generally positive and almost always led to encouraging conversations. Despite the criticism I received from segments of the LGBTQ community for engaging with this administration, I remained hopeful for positive change ...

Sadly, I was wrong ...

1. We tried to warn her!

But she didn't listen.

Oh well.

2. Caitlin Jenner stated that Hillary doesn't care about women

just a reminder.

3. She spent most of her life publicly as a straight, white man

Who was rich and was a sports hero. She thought when she transitioned she would still have this privilege, because she hadn't lived any differently. She had no empathy for her fellow LGBTQ, even when she was warned. She voted for Trump and lauded him. If the camps ever come, her money and previous public identity will not protect her.

No forgiveness from me -- too fucking late.

22. this sums it up

4. Doesn't take the wall to fall down on that one, no not at all

[Princess Turandot]

5. She believed it long enough to get her tax cut, though...

...And when did Trump overtly express support for the transgender community? When he chose Pence as his VP?

[world wide wally]

8. That would be called trans-species

[MineralMan]

14. I believe you misunderstood.

The implication was that Pence is not human.

[miss-nasty]

16. Thanks so much maybe so

[world wide wally]

18. That was the intended meeage

Thanks for shedding light.

[MineralMan]

20. Yes. No problem.

[miss-nasty]

21. My sincere apologies...

[msongs]

6. when repubs say grab em by the p**** they are not thinking of her nt

[TDale313]

7. Hope that tax break was worth it.

[Codeine]

9. Her wealth and privilege isolate her

from the reality of Trump, even as a transgender person.

[EffieBlack]

10. Caitlyn thought her whiteness made her one of them until she figured out they hate her, too.

[dawg day]

11. Well, duhh.

Welcome to reality, Ms. Jenner.


Notice that she has to complain about "criticism" from the LGBTQ community but says her talks with the GOPers were "positive."

All these Trump-hopers seem so baffled when they realize reality. "But he said....!"

Yeah, well, he LIED. How can that possibly surprise them.

[BadMachines]

12. First he came for the blacks...and so on n/t

[Mr. Ected]

17. Seriously, how many people in the LGBTQ community believed that garbage in November 2016?

Let's see, there was Caitlyn....and there was....hmmm....Caitlyn. That's about it.

[Demonaut]

24. don't forget..Caitlyn

[Jim Lane]

25. The most prominent was Peter Thiel. I'm sure there were plenty of others. (n/t)

[LostOne4Ever]

19. She needs to listen to lgbt people outside her log cabin way way more. Nt

[Demonaut]

23. she's an idiot supreme

[sheshe2]

26. Sorry you believed them Cait.

They kissed you off, Kate.

[YOHABLO]

27. How naive to think the Republican Party would have the LGBTQ commuintie's back. Stupid.

Caitlyn spent much of her earlier career as a motivational speaker for corporate America. That's how she made her millions.
