Caitlyn Jenner's Beauty and our Transmisogynistic Society

This is the Vanity Fair cover we all have seen for the issue in which Caitlyn introduced who she really was. This image is the moment the world knew Caitlyn for the first time. What I aim to address here is a few things but most specifically, this will all be centered around one nagging comment we here over and over again about Caitlyn Jenner, about Laverne Cox, and about almost all trans women.

"Wow! She looks better than me!"

Many girls have said this. I know I have said it about both Laverne Cox as well as several trans models. When it's said, it isn't meant to be harmful, it comes from a good, but uneducated place. Now that I have been made aware of why it is so problematic, I don't say it anymore. So similarly to what I said in my post, "Phobias and Isms in Disguise", sometimes when people say harmful things they just need to be taught why it was offensive.
