Last week protesters protested Caitlyn Jenner speech at a speech during a luncheon in Chicago, Illinois well the press took notice, even in Kenya.
“You have no right to represent us.” So who does?
Are we going to hold a vote on who can be our representative?
All those in favor of Laverne Cox raise your hand. Those in favor of Janet Mock raise your hands. All those in favor of Jazz.
Does that mean no one else can speak about the trans community?
I know there are a lot of trans people who hate Caitlyn Jenner for various reasons but where do we draw the line who can give interviews. I have been invited to give a speech for the anniversary of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, do I say “Sorry but I represent white middle income late transitioning trans women, you need to get someone else.”
The gays and lesbians want to separate themselves from the “T,” lesbians want to separate themselves from the gay, trans people want to separate us from the “LGB,” transsexuals want to separate from drag queens and kings and crossdressers. While other want to separate pre-ops from post-ops.
When are we going to learn that the opposition does not see any differences between all of us, they are an equal opportunity discriminators.
We should be glad that people are willing to speak for us because many of us cannot speak-up.

The transgender community turned against Caitlyn Jenner after she won the Transgender Champion Award recently at Glamour Magazine Awards for her ‘monumental courage in publicly stepping out as a transgender woman’.
Caitlyn, who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, is father of Kylie and Kendall Jenner and stepfather to the Kardashian sisters. Jenner transitioned at the age of 65 years after a long struggle with her gender identity.
On Thursday, the transgender community protestors furiously confronted Jenner, who had been slotted to speak at a fundraiser aimed at raising funds to provide services to those living with HIV/AIDS and the LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual and Transgender) Community.
Some, however, were unhappy about Jenner being the keynote speaker. A group of protesters stood outside to challenge the former Olympian. In the video above, one protester says to Jenner: "You are an insult to trans people, you are an insult to women. You have no right to represent us."If you do a Google News search on Jenner and Chicago House, there are hundreds of news article on the protest. So if they wanted press coverage they got it.
