Jenner’s comments stunned LGBT activists. One of the costars of “I Am Cait,” Jennifer Boylan, lost it, yelling “That’s a lie,” brandishing a rolled-up newspaper when Jenner indicated conservatives support minorities’ rights. “You’re living in a dream world,” Boylan shouted, then took to the blogosphere in a fit of hysteria, saying Boylan struck Jenner with the newspaper and “not ironically either. I smack her like she is a basset hound that just took a dump on the carpet,” the co-star and consultant to the show wrote.
Monica Roberts of TransGriot piled on, writing, “Caitlyn, while you have every right to support whoever you wish in this 2016 presidential contest, I would suggest that you not support a presidential candidate who thinks it’s sound political strategy and policy to demonize our trans younglings for political gain.” Zack Ford, an apologist for LGBT issues at Think Progress, wrote, “Caitlyn Jenner simply cannot be taken seriously as an advocate for the most disadvantaged transgender people if she’s lauding Ted Cruz in the same breath.” What a stellar champion of diversity you are.
If you don’t live in a free society, it doesn’t matter if you’re trans, straight, green, or blue.
Rachel Kramer Bussel of Salon said “Jenner’s optimism about Cruz is baffling.” She then sunk to firing personal attacks at the reality star, asking, “Are Jenner’s musings wishful thinking? A ratings grab? Her own version of lunacy? They certainly seem to have no basis in reality, considering the platform Cruz has built and the followers he’s courting.”
One way to keep a false narrative alive is to punish, belittle and “otherize” anyone who questions the false narrative.
P.J. O’Rourke was reached several posts down for his comment:
Arguably, the entire trangesdender “movement” depends on the demanding, unsatisfied, ill-disciplined, useless nature of a despotic, spoiled brat using the political power of liberalism to get its transgendered mashed-up way.
For liberals, the concept of a gay conservative is an oxymoron. But a conservative transgendered person is unthinkable, despicable and way the hell off the plantation. Uppity. Uncle Sally and Aunt Tom all wrapped up into one anti-Progressive tranny hiding in the woodpile. There needs to be a word for such a ni**er.
Without envy, greed, and hate, the Left could not exist.

The activist hate towards Mr/Ms Jenner is both amusing and puzzling. If they had any sense of awareness of history, they would know and understand that transsexuals have long been associated with a conservative or libertarian line of political association. Many trans people have also been veterans and are thus strong military supporters (something leftists have almost congenital issues with). Even prominent drag queens in certain locales (eg, San Diego) have been Republicans on occasion.
Perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a particular movement is to allow it to be co-opted by the people who think that the only path to rightousness is the one they personally espouse.
