How an undocumented transgender Latina woman named Jennicet Gutiérrez cut off the most powerful man in the world at a 2015 White House celebration of LGBT victories — and why, in 2016, she has no plans to stop disrupting.
Many progressive cis people have slammed Jenner for her appearance-consciousness even as the society they dominate creates conditions that force Jenner into that position.
“I’ve known since I was very young that I wanted to have a family, find a soulmate, have children. And I’ve basically managed to achieve all of these things. I love my children more than anything in the world, and I love my wife. I’ve never felt more sure of anything, except for the feeling that I should have been born female.”
“CBS stopped Audrey Middleton talking to the press after she revealed she was trans, suggesting it may put shock value ahead of concerns about transphobia.”
“As a trans woman, I empathize with Dolezal’s feelings of isolation — but I don’t condone the way she claims an identification that isn’t hers to claim.”
“Now that it’s been a few days since Caitlyn Jenner revealed her true name, it’s time to officially retire the one she was assigned at birth—the one she shouldn’t have had to begin with.”
“Because she only started using female pronouns after her glamorous Vanity Fair reveal, I’m wary of the way Caitlyn Jenner is wielding her power to define acceptable trans womanhood.”
“If we accept Jenner because she fits our understanding of the gender binary, then we’re celebrating not just her transition but her economic privilege”
