https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/trump-supporter-caitlyn-jenner-now-regretful-gives-speech-trans-rights-set-back-20-years/
During the 2016 campaign, Caitlyn Jenner was a supporter of Donald Trump.
Trump would be good for women, Jenner said. Jenner said she would never ever ever vote for Hillary and that if Hillary becomes President, the country is over.
Some even credit Jenners endorsement as making a significant impact in favor of Trump.
Jenner bashed Trump in a speech to the British House of Commons.
As far as trans issues, this administration has been the worst ever, she said according to Page Six. Theyve set our community back 20 years, easily, Jenner said. Its going to be hard to change, but weve been through these types of things before and well continue to fight it.

I kid you not...it's out there for the Googling.
I guess it's better late than never, but who in their right mind would ever think that Trump would be "good for women" on ANY level?

Trump has sent Transgender rights back 30 years in 16 months.
Yet, she was dumb enough not to see that the goddamn republican party wasn't her goddamn friend? damn.

(30,811 posts)It takes more than surgery and hormones to understand women's issues. It takes years of experiences seen through a female lens (Alternatively, it takes being a man with intellectual depth, sensitivity and empathy).

(32,704 posts)that I've watched the Kardashians off and on. These are just my observations based on the things Caitlyn has said and done: Despite being trans, Catilyn doesn't give 2 shits about anything related to LGBTQ issues. She doesn't think it applies to her, and she doesn't view herself as part of the community. She's just saying this because of public pressure.

(4,483 posts)and she continues to be stupid politically. She is now in a class that is discriminated against bigly, and she apparently thought her fame would not only protect her but give her a larger platform to sway other RWers. Like I said, stupid.
She spent at least a year working with trans activists who tried to open her eyes, but she didn't want to listen, or rather see. She had never been involved in political thought except to want her taxes lower, but her reliance on her fame (and, I hate to say, her good looks) seems to have made it hard for her to imagine that this kind of discrimination would exist once she pointed it out. Stupid.
