Is Katlin More

OK, I'll give up trying to make you and others here understand. lol

... well, except for one last word but after that I'll be silent.

Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster are not battling misconceptions about their image or the social issues they undertake to educate the public. Whereas Caitlyn is. There is an existing bias that MtFs transition either for fetish or because they are gay and they are attracted to men. Caitlyn needs to be aware of these misconceptions if she wants people to dispel them. She will not easily dispel them if she dresses, from the outset, in a manner that reinforces the stereotypical image that prejudiced people have about TSs and CDs.

Once Caitlyn is established in her self-appointed role as spokesperson, once the public has seen Caitlyn in a variety of roles dressed in ways that do not always show off her boobs, legs, etc, and once all the nonsense about her presentation and her association with reality shows and the K-clan are done with, then she will indeed be on the same playing field as the GGs you've mentioned, who have been seen by the public for years in their various roles. Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster are not always seen in slinky dresses or on magazine covers in bustiers, especially when they are engaging in their activism.


<Edit> Eryn, the conversation about Caitlyn's presentation began long before the latest show where I and the rest of the public saw her tell her assistant to choose a sensible outfit for her first meeting with her mother, and before we saw her in black pants and top at the end of the show. Weeks ago I said that I hoped Caitlyn would tone down her presentation and the disagreements in this thread are based on my statements, before the "I am Cait" show came out.

Also, not showing off boobs, legs, etc does not need to mean that the manner of dress has to be frumpy? If so, then are all the GGs in your life and mine "frumpy"? :p
