11. Ugh, wtf is WRONG with Caitlyn Jenner?

That's a rhetorical question, obviously, but seriously, there absolutely is something deeply wrong with her. I remember back in 2016, she was supporting Ted Cruz for potus and talking about how she wanted to be his "trans ambassador" if he was elected. (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/caitlyn-jenner-s-presidential-preference-i-ted-cruz-n531311)

At the time, I thought she was out of her damned mind and deep in denial about how Republicans view the trans community, but I just rolled my eyes and thought, "Believe whatever you want to believe, dear. You'll find out soon enough how the Repugs really feel about you and people like you."

And now here we are 7 years later, and I feel like I've been proven right about the latter many times over (several times a day, if I were to add up all the evidence). But after all this time, and all the incredibly and increasingly shitty things that have been done to trans people by the GOP, she still hasn't learned a freaking thing, and she's gotten meaner and more intolerant of members of her own community than I would have ever thought possible. I didn't expect much from her, but basic humanity doesn't seem like it should be that much of a reach!

I guess it must be nice and comfy inside that bubble she lives in.

P.S. I will never misgender or dead name her, no matter what she does. My standards re higher than that, and I refuse to compromise them just because she is acting like a douchebag.
