Earlier this week, Star magazine reported that Caitlyn Jenner “regrets” her transition and would like to go back to identifying as a man named Bruce.
The story is obviously ridiculous, but if a new report from OK! magazine is true, there may be some truth to the claim that there are aspects of Caitlyn’s old life that she misses.
If you watch I Am Cait online, then you know that Caitlyn spends much of her time these days with a group of trans friends who helped support her during her transition.
Caitlyn and Candis became so close that at one point it was rumored that they were dating.
Now, sources are telling OK! that Candis and the rest of Caitlyn’s new friends are simply exploiting the world’s most recognizable trans person for money and fame.
It began with reports (which Jenner has never refuted) that Caitlyn pays Candis and company to appear on I Am Cait.
Sources say the situation snowballed from there, until Caitlyn was fully supporting several of her “friends.”
“She doesn’t realize she’s being used, because she thinks it’s fair to pay people who appear on the show.” an insider tells the tabloid. “But she’s so generous and eager to be loved, she just gives them however much they ask for! It’s sad.”
The problem it seems, is that Cait’s new identity had left her feeling isolated from many of her former friends, and she still feels guilty over how much easier she’s had it than most trans people.
She reportedly sees using her wealth and fame to improve the lives of the trans women around her as an easy fix to both problems.
Unfortunately, it seems to have left her feeling more alone than ever.
