I’ve got a problem with the Trans-Jenner phenomenon and it doesn’t have to do with Bruce Jenner’s trans-ness.
But it has everything to do with class and celebrity.
A guy in Malibu who tells Diane Sawyer and 16.9 million people on national TV that he isn’t doing this as a publicity stunt for his reality show but then announces the next day a new “E” show is not exactly what I’d call the best public face for trans people.
All Jenner seems to want to do is find a new Wheaties box.
Most trans people are lucky to have a box of Wheaties.
“Injustice at Every Turn,” a 2011 report by the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, reveals that trans people are hardly anything like Bruce Jenner.
Trans folks generally are much poorer, with a large number African-American and people of color, and they all suffer discrimination.
