Forget diamonds; political correctness is Bruce Jenner’s best friend.
Jenner, a former Olympian now proclaiming to be a woman and preferring the name Caitlyn, praised political correctness while he was honored in New York on Nov. 9 as one of the Glamour magazine’s “Women of the Year.” He was specifically recognized as the magazine’s “Transgender Champion.”
In his speech to a crowd at Carnegie Hall, Jenner said those criticizing his choice to live the rest of his life as a woman were quickly silenced by political correctness. He credits it with labeling those disapproving of his lifestyle and silencing conservative media critics.
“No longer can the media say bad things about you because then they’d be homophobic,” Jenner said.
Jenner said his June cover on the magazine Vanity Fair put an emphasis on the transgender community and changed the conversation about transitioning. He said his life as a woman is “the most eye-opening experience of my life.” Jenner claims his previous life as a man included “many, many years of isolation.”
“Now…I actually like going out, and I like being myself,” he said. “I’m very happy to be living on the other side.”
The decision by Glamour to honor Jenner, now a reality television star, inspired a social media backlash when the news of the honor was reported last month. Questions centered on Jenner’s lack of accomplishments that would qualify him as being a real woman.
“Glamour endorses the idea that men are better at being women than we are,” wrote Nicole Russell of The Federalist. “Jenner might feel like he is a woman… he might want to be a woman, he might be living as a woman, but thoughts do not generate biology or reality.”
