Caitlyn Jenner's new video revealed her conservative views about the transgender community. And unfortunately, her trans friends seem to oppose her views about trans men and women.
During her April interview with Diane Sawyer, Caitlyn Jenner told the host that she was a Republican and she's more on the conservative side, but what really made things disastrous was her new "I am Cait" video clip. Unfortunately, the video got the former Olympian's trans friends' attention on her conservative views and they seemed very disappointed about her views.
In her new video from the August 2 episode, Caitlyn Jenner took her newly found trans friends on a road trip. But things started to get dreadful when Caitlyn told everyone her own views about transgender youths and suggests some of them may be abusing social programs.
Jenner asked her girlfriends, "What's the big issue?" Chandie then, replied, "They are homeless", speaking about the trans men and women across America. She also added, "Unemployed, so it's just going to take a lot more." Jen Richards also shared her views to the group by saying, "I think if I was to focus on one area it would be entry level jobs so that these girls have some alternative if they want to."
And everyone seemed to agree with Jen's opinion, aside from Caitlyn, who still insisted her conservative views and rubbed them on her trans friends the wrong way. She continued by explaining, "Don't a lot of times they can make more not working with social programs that they actually can with an entry level job." Caitlyn then, added, "But you don't want to get people totally dependent on it. Why should I work?" That's when their views got so messed up.
With the drama getting fired up, another friend, Jenny Boylan, talked about her opinion, by saying, "Now I'm worried." As she has shown signs of discomfort about Caitlyn's views, she added, "Living in the bubble is an impediment to understanding other people." And with that she's probably talking about Caitlyn's conservative views. She also said, "Cait's going to be a spokesperson for the community. This is something she's going to have to understand."
So now that her friends are questioning her capabilities as a role model for the transgender men and women, does the transgender community feel the same way? Then, all pro Caitlyn just has to wait for the next episode of "I am Cait", which airs at 8 P.M. ET on E for more reactions and opinions.
