Ehhh, that's oversimplifying (for effect, I know, but!). The point is that Caitlyn Jenner is in a position of a lot of privilege (to use a tired but precise term) - she's white, she's rich, she's conventionally attractive and had the money to achieve that - and therefore her experience, which is getting so much visibility at this time, isn't necessarily representative of the experience of a LOT of trans people, who don't have the advantages she has.

It's not so much a matter of "being pissed at her," but of staying cognizant of those advantages and the distance between her and a lot of poorer, less advantaged, especially nonwhite, trans people. AND Caitlyn herself has acknowledged that distance, very classily.

She's not conventionally attractive without photoshop and tons of make-up, though. Her face looks like it's been through a grinder - which, in a way, it was. Which has everything to do with bad plastic surgery and nothing with her being trans, mind.
