Was She Wrong, Tho?

Caitlyn Jenner is seen as the most famous trans person in theworld. 

With an impressive history as an incredible athlete, and aborn entertainer, she has positioned herself politically on precarious and almost nonsensical ground.

Does her fame equate to likeability?  Is she an advocate for trans rights?  Or is she a wolf in sheep’s clothing? 

Spoiler alert, she recently said of Donald Trump, “I loveeverything he’s doing.”

Netflix just released a new rendition of John Steinbeck’s “Eastof Eden.”  And Cathy, a central character, seems to be the epitome of every single that could be wrong with a woman.

There’s an update on the Christa Pike execution.  Spoiler alert, she’s alive, but it’s not because anyone in power spared her life.  Are we still fans of the death penalty?  Is this karma?  Why can’t we kill people on purpose?
