http://deadline.com/2018/05/caitlyn-jenner-claims-donald-trump-has-set-transgender-community-back-20-years-in-c4-diversity-lecture-1202387154/The I Am Cait star, a registered Republican, urged the UK not to go down the same road in her address in the House of Commons. The address was the featured speech at Channel 4s annual diversity lecture.
Jenner reportedly voted for Trump but subsequently revealed a case of buyers remorse after branding his decision to end federal protections allowing transgender students to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity a disaster
Jenners comments come after the move to feature her in the lecture was criticized by a number of people. RuPauls Drag Race star Carmen Carrera said that Jenners number one mission was to be the Mother Theresa of this community, while transgender comedian Shon Faye said Jenners life story is as far removed from what British politicians need to be hearing and considering on this issue.

(14,521 posts)ass. Your wealth can shield you from the brunt of trump's policies. But you see, you aren't the only transgender in this country. They don't have your status. The man you supported and voted for has brought out the hate and transgender are suffering the consequences. You turned your back on the community when they needed you the most.
Last year 28 transgender were killed, the highest on record. Keep voting and supporting republicans, keep getting people killed.

(21,988 posts)Hey, Caitland!
You forfeited your legitimacy by supporting Republicans who don't support you and civil rights for all Americans.
You expect to be respected now that you've opened your eyes to what was plainly obvious two years ago?
You're just a stupid has-been trying desperately for some attention.
Please, just shut up.
