      I have no idea. I think so, but also maybe not? She had no problem saying that trans folks shouldn’t have rights. She said the trans community was ‘oversaturated’. She attacked Dylan Mulvaney. Said the LGBTQ+ community was ‘hateful’. Then while running for Governor of California (Jesus Christ) she got upset that people were treating her badly because she was trans. That woman makes no damn sense in any way and I’ve given up trying to figure out what her goal is on that front.

      I run a DnD game and I’m usually looking for other games to play in. This means that I mean a surprising amount of LGBTQ+ folks, myself included. I mean we tend to advertise as safe places for others like us so that helps. Either way, few weeks ago I met this one dude who’s super funny and clever. Also happens to be trans. When we were talking about characters that we wanted to make, he suggested an evil female yuan-ti (snakeperson). Starts detailing all these things about the character going further and further. It wasn’t until the combination of “won medals during a chariot race but then ran over someone with their chariot” that I realized he was making Caitlyn Jenner an evil snake person in DnD. Snaiklyn Runnyr. The tears that poured down my face was unfuckingreal. From what I heard, he’s actually making that character in one of his friends games. I eagerly await stories of how that’s going to go down.

        Pure gold.

      No, she was just a runner up. Angela Merkel won “Time Person Of The Year” that year. You’re thinking of the Vanity Fair cover of “Call Me Caitlyn” when she came out.

        Time Person Of The Year also isn’t meant to mean they’re the best person of the year, just the most influential on that year’s events. Hitler was that person once, and Stalin was twice.

        Jenner and Merkel? Damn, must’ve been an off season for women that year.

        I would have been disappointed in myself if I had paid attention to such news anyway.
