People shared that Caitlyn Jenner is admitting that she may not have got everything right, but luckily Caitlyn is figuring it all out now. Jenner has spoken out to share her thoughts.
“Since I told the world my truth six months ago, I’ve tried to be a force for good. I’ve met and listened to many people in the transgender community, from trans women of color, to the parents of trans kids who’ve taken their own lives, to people working in the courts and legislatures and media to make the world a better, safer place for trans people. I’ve spent a lot of time listening to people tell me their stories. Even now, at the end of this whirlwind year, I still feel like I have so much to learn.”
Obviously, Caitlyn Jenner is doing something right though. People like Jazz Jennings look up to her and see her as a role model. People like Jazz are proud of her. Caitlyn Jenner does admit that she hasn’t done everything right though. She also said that sometimes the media takes things out of context. Caitlyn Jenner revealed her thoughts on learning her way around not upsetting anyone.
“I guess it’s true that there are some things that I have not gotten right. Sometimes this is because I’m still finding out about the issues. Sometimes this is because something that is true for me isn’t true for other people in our community. And sometimes I’ve said things that just come out the wrong way.”
Caitlyn Jenner does admit to enjoying fashion and makeup, but wants everyone to know that this is just her choice and everyone who is transgender doesn’t have to love those things. A recent comment Jenner made in TIME magazine upset a few people and Caitlyn elaborated on her thoughts, as well.
“This week a lot of attention was brought to my comments in my TIME interview, in which I said that my appearance is important to me, that I want people to be at ease when they encounter me, and that people are still uncomfortable if a trans person looks like ‘a man in a dress.’”
News came out recently that I Am Jazz was renewed for a second season on TLC . Caitlyn Jenner’s show I Am Cait is also coming back for a second season on E! . Fans would likely love it if the cameras caught these two meeting up for at least one of their shows. Are you happy to see that Jazz finally got to meet Caitlyn?
