Caitlyn Jenner has come under a heavy dose of fire recently.
And it all stems from Glamour honoring the transgender star with a Glamour Woman of the Year Award a few weeks ago.
First, the husband of a 9/11 hero who was honored with this same award many years ago says he will give back his wife"s posthumous trophy because he doesn"t think Jenner is deserving.
Second, Rose McGown took issue with Caitlyn joking how the hardest part about now being a woman is "figuring out what to wear."
But Jenner now has someone well known in her corner.
"It"s sad," Transparent creator Soloway told The Huffington Post in response to this criticism, specifically the aforementioned husband"s point of view.
"There"s this feeling of the binary – this kind of either/or – that a lot of people get really attached to, and a lot of people are powered by anger and looking for a reason to be angry.
"And if he"s wanting the kind of attention around giving [his] wife"s award back, it sounds like he"s probably just really wanting to express anger to the world."
Overall, Soloway has the following to offer regarding Caitlyn Jenner and other members of this community:
"Some trans women are really femme, some trans women are really butch. Everybody"s different, and Caitlyn happens to be from a family – I"m a huge Kardashians fan – everybody in that family talks about hair and makeup and clothes all the time.
"It"s their hobby to look good, so that"s where Caitlyn comes from.
"Whether or not she has a right to do that – of course she has a right to do that. She"s a woman. Every woman has a right to be as femme or as not femme as they wish to be.
"And it"s absolutely awesome that Glamour has honored her."
