The answer to that is no. Even several members of the transgender community I know agree. And I am sure some will say that I am being unfair, and so be it, but no. As much of an advocate of trans rights as I am, no, I do not see any reason to give Jenner this recognition because she has done nothing to truly deserve this.
It's based on her actions, not her gender or sex. And her actions do not demonstrate anything of worth, to me, to have earned her this award. As simple as that.
I wish I got an award just for existing
Participation Awards for Everyone. Everybody gets to be a special little snowflake.
Seriously, all she did was become a woman. It's really not that big of a deal. The only difference between Jenner and any other situation with a transgender individual is that she's famous. Anyone else and nobody would give two shits.
