Bruce Jenner has become Caitlyn Jenner, which could have been a transformational event for the transgender community. If she had come out and chosen for a "persona" with whom transgenders could identify, this would indeed have been a positive step and a reference.
Instead, she has opted for some 1960s glamour-star model, which looks great in glossy magazines but has little relevance for transgenders who have to face contemporary real conditions. The "hoopla" does not come as a total surprise, given her close ties to the exhibitionist, tiresome Kardashians. In choosing their camp, she lost her potential allies. Yet again money trumps all.
Too bad !
