Even if that's true, so what? I don't think she should worry about modifying her behavior to avoid misconceptions by prejudiced people.

I was out for dinner with three other transwomen the other night. They were all saying how they tried to avoid overtly feminine clothes at work to "fit in" with other women who tended to wear pants and tops. But I pretty much always wear a dress or a skirt at work, even though that's not the norm. I do that because I like those types of clothes, they're very comfortable in hot weather, and I'll be damned if I went through transition to live an authentic life only to be forced to censor my choice of clothes.

Reine, I actually do understand your point. But I think that given Caitlyn's position as a Hollywood celebrity, associated with a rather notorious family, she's not a bad representative of trans people at all.
