Caitlyn Jenner Makes Speech on Transgender Rights at Women's March in Los Angeles
Caitlyn Jenner spoke at the Women's March in Los Angeles this past weekend and got political.
According to Yahoo!, the 70-year-old reality star spoke about the attack on trans women of color specifically, stating, “The time is now. Women in Hollywood and across this nation are energized! It is damn time we stop the slaughter of trans women of color.”
Fans will know that Caitlyn publicly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, and she addressed this part of her past political stance. “Sadly, I was wrong. The reality is that the trans community is being relentlessly attacked by this president,” she admitted.
She continued, “He has ignored our humanity. He has insulted our dignity. He has made trans people into political pawns as he whips up animus against us in an attempt to energize the most right-wing segment of his party.”
Caitlyn humbly said that she has learned from her mistakes and wants to move forward, supporting transgender people across America.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a big part of the Los Angeles Women's March this year was to get Trump out of the White House and to focus on the women running for office. It's a powerful time for women, and Caitlyn's message was extremely optimistic.
