TRL I feel the same way you do. I can't help but feel so much skepticism especially when this comes with a reality show and all the circus that comes with it.
That being said, however, from the reaction I am seeing online and on TV this could well be an ENORMOUS positive for the LGBT community and people seem to think it could truly help with not only acceptance of the transgendered but with people having the courage to live their lives as they are. So if that is the end result than whatever self promoting, fame whoring comes with it then it will all be worth it. What a transgendered person goes through is something I can never truly appreciate or understand and any help that comes to them is a good thing.
On that note, in my previous post in making a joke, I referred to Caitlyn as "his." That was a stupid mistake on my part. She is a she. It should have been "hers" and that's part of the reason this could be a really good thing. It will allow us to be smarter and better in how we treat the transgendered.
