Caitlyn Jenner’s Charity Work & Philanthropy
Caitlyn Jenner has been giving inspirational speeches about her transition and life as a trans woman, bringing national media attention to the issue. Recently, the large makeup company MAC released Jenner’s lipstick line, appropriately named as “Finally Free.” All of the proceeds from the lipstick go to the charity MAC AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative. According to Jenner, she is “in a position where (she) can help people who are really struggling by creating a platform and bringing exposure to the issue.”
Major Life Changing events
The biggest life changing event in Caitlyn’s life has been her transition from Bruce to Cait. According to the star, she always felt more at home being feminine. As she told in her interview with 20/20, she experienced gender dysmorphia as a child, and that carried with her throughout her life. She was experimental, cross dressing and even taking hormone replacement therapy drugs as early as the 1980s, but stopped due to her relationship with Kris Jenner, who was aware of the events. Keeping her true self hidden ultimately led to the relationship’s demise. She did an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians called “About Bruce” where she explained to her children what was about to happen. She waited until they were adults, and mature enough to deal with the revelation and it’s consequences.
The transition has been very public for Jenner. She is know as the “most famous openly transgender woman in the world.” It is controversial whether that it a good thing or not. She is accused of being an unelected and unrepresentative “authoritarian voice” of the trans community. Her show I am Cait is both lauded for being courageous, and condemned for being insensitive and tone-deaf.
