24 Jul Caitlyn Jenner Addresses Jimmy Kimmel’s Transgender Jokes Live On Air

Transgenderism remains a misunderstood and under-discussed subject in our modern culture; the one topic of civil rights that our so-called progressive society seems content to sweep under the rug. Because of this, it might be useful to explain what being transgender means in relatively simple terms. Being transgender is defined as someone whose sense of gender does not align with that with which they were born; instead transgender people often identify as the opposite sex.

Crucially, the term transgender refers to the concept of gender identity rather than sexual orientation. Caitlyn Jenner has been credited – rightly – with doing much to raise public awareness of transgenderism; as a member of arguably the world’s most famous family, the Kardashian/Jenner clan, Caitlyn was always going to be well placed to use her position as a force for good.

With that being said, even for Jenner, with all of her fame and money, the road to gender realignment hasn’t been an entirely smooth one. Indeed, it was only earlier this year that reports emerged revealing that the reality star had been the subject of regrettable transphobic abuse at an awards ceremony.

Indeed, when Jenner’s appearance began to alter, it was often that television presenters would poke fun at the situation, though in fairness at the time they could not have known the transition that was privately taking place. During a recent interview with popular late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel – who had himself been part of that unintentional mockery – Jenner made sure to address the issue.
