First off, I’d like to say that I am proud of Jenner coming out and for becoming herself with pride; however, I do not believe that she deserved the Woman Of The Year award. While what she did was brave, several people have done it BEFORE her, yet they have never been recognized nor will they. In other words, I don’t believe Jenner is anything “special”. The only difference between her and other transgender people is Jenner got the publicity (and other members of the trans community are more than likely smarter than her or have more issues with “becoming the gender”, they want, than trying to decide what to wear).
In addition, I just feel as though there were many other qualified woman in the world that has done far more, and unique, things than Jenner has done. I’m sure there are many women who sacrificed themselves for the lives of others, fought for change in a society, cast a positive light upon the world, yet they will not be discovered.
Lastly, I do think Jenner was brave to come out as she did, but, again, several others did the same before her and they have been struggling for years to even start transitioning due to a lack of money or whatever reason. If any transgender human deserved that award, I would’ve chosen to give it to Jazz Jennings who has written a book about her experiences and helped enlighten thousands of people (adults, children and elderly) about what it means to be transgender in a judgmental world for a few years. I don’t know if there is an age qualification or not, but this is my thought on the whole matter.
