In reply to the discussion: Cait Jenner is an entitled Republican jerk. She's no ally, at this point anyway. [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)And I've met a few via clinical support settings.
Jenner's politics aside, I think Jenner's interest in making money via mining celebrity is the most outstanding difference I've ever encountered.
People I know who had m-t-f drive sought psychic relief rather than celebrity, and often found it in small but meaningful physiologic phenomena that were feminizing.
No doubt my experience is a small statistical pool, but I find Jenner very unlike anyone I've met who was dealing with GD.
I don't mean to be judgmental when I say that, it's just unlike my limited experience.
I've thought about why I get that "feeling" a bit. What I find most different is actually Jenner's apparent exhibitionist/celebrity drive. I suppose it's part of the same drive that created a revenue stream through Kardashian television. Maybe this is just individual variation...
But, the small circle of people I know who are in similar circumstance, really want a very personal and private reconciliation with their own lives.
Jenner just stands apart from my experience.
