My problem with this is that the public will be patronising and pretend that she's the first person to ever be transgender on TV.

It's already kind've happened with her other programmes anyway where people that never showed any interest in transgender people before now have a sudden "interest" in them now that their favourite idol has become transgender.

I probably shouldn't moan about it as it's good to have new people being interested in a subject, it's just that I don't get why Caitlyn Jenner is treated like she's so different for being transgender in the Media when we are getting more Transgender people on TV anyway that have actually got talent like on Sense8 and on Orange Is The New Black.

And for Reality TV there was Nadia off of BBUK, that gets conveniently ignored by the Media.
