I cannot help but notice Caitlyn Jenner's stone silence regarding anti-LGBT/bathroom laws

And here she's got people thinking that Hillary doesn't care about others. Why the silence Caitlyn?



Could it be because Caitlyn is nothing more than an attention whore?

For one, if she was attention whoring, she'd have said something by now. And for another thing, it's not like most of the Internet was saying particularly nice things about her. Not all attention is good attention, and I know I'd wither in that kind of blast. So maybe if she doesn't want to be part of the picture, she's earned a pass?

Cruz would expand on that horrible bill and make it a national law.

but not her own facts. I don't place a lot of stock in the opinions of somebody who honestly believes that Ted Cruz would be a wonderful POTUS and would ever appoint (her head of) a Trans advisory group should he *heaven forbid* become POTUS. I think that her biggest problem is that she is fabulously rich and famous (and Republican) and out of touch with "average" Transgender persons and seems to believe that she is immune to the negative policies and social attitudes that affect other Transgender persons. Of course, she resides in an extremely progressive state, so, to some extent, she is residing in an environment where she is not going to face much public adversity. I'm not certain how well she would fare and what she would think about things if she resided in someplace like, say, North Carolina, where even she would now be forced into the men's public restrooms.
