I know CJ's comments at the glamour awards have been discussed before, but I wondered what you make of the following article?

Personally I am finding myself in absolute agreement. I have nothing against Jenner but I really don't see why she's held up as such an amazing person, not really having achieved anything special as a woman.

OMG am actually wanting to cheer some of the things in that article! - not just the CJ stuff but also some of the other bits - "working like a husband" and the mentions of what other women have to deal with. Agreeing with Katie Hopkins, whatever next?

About the only time I've ever agreed with Katie Hopkins. I can't speak for all or any trans people but the only one I know in rl seems as self obsessed with looks, clothes and make up as Caitlyn while the ex wife deals with the fall out and the kids. Not one word about the issues they are facing but hey! Look at me in my new swimsuit! I'm so amazing!

Maybe it's a phase? After years of suppressing how they feel and finally are able to wear what they want so it's like a kid in a sweet shop with a ten pound note?

Definitely not woman of the year though.

Yes, same. I know she's just a rent-a-controversial-gob but she was well reasoned and expresses a potentially difficult viewpoint very well.

I thought it was a great article and I'm no fan of Katie's.
