Caitlyn Jenner has an interesting perspective on the popularity of being a transgender.
In a new episode of “The Pivot Podcast,” the former Olympic athlete and failed
Republican gubernatorial hopeful sat down with former NFL players Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor for a wide-ranging candid interview, which included athleticism, family, relationships and the transition from male to female.

In 2015, Jenner (born Williams
Bruce Jenner) publicly announced that she was transitioning from male to female at age 65. By then, the retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete gained another shot at stardom as a cast member of the wildly popular reality TV series “Keeping up with The Kardashians,” which featured his third wife and their blended family.
Noting that transgender people consist of a small group of people, Glamour magazine’s 2015 Woman of the Year expressed concern over the amount of media attention the community receives.
“There are so many things on YouTube on kids who have transitioned, and people see this and it’s become, right now, this issue has become so big,” she said.
“Almost every day on the news, there’s something about being trans. That kind of bothers me to be honest with you,” the
Fox News contributor continued.
“Right now, because of the amount of publicity that it’s getting, it’s like everybody thinks they’re trans, which is not the case.”

Jenner compared the exposure of transgenderism to dyslexia in the late 1970s when a local news station reached out to her.
“They heard I was dyslexic … he says, ‘I’d love to do an interview with you about that,’” she explained.
The interview “kind of went viral,” Jenner added.
“I watched over the next five years, eight years, I watched the word ‘being dyslexic’ get bigger and bigger and bigger. And people opening up schools for dyslexic kids. Parents now were so aware of it,” she said.
“It just got out of hand and it became a huge word,” Jenner added.
