Bing’s most searched celebrity of 2015, Caitlyn Jenner, is saying sorry for comments made in her Time Magazine interview where she said: “I think it’s much easier for a trans woman or a trans man who authentically kind of looks and plays the role. I want to dress well. I want to look good.”

Posting to her blog, Jenner, 66, admits that she has received a lot of attention this week from this particular interview and her choice of words.
“I think I caused a lot of hurt with this comment, and I’m truly sorry,”; the reality star adds. “What I was trying to say is that our world really is still a binary one, and that people who look ‘visibly transgender’ sometimes can struggle for acceptance and may be treated poorly by others. And while this may be true, it’s also something that needs to change.”
The I Am Cait star continues: “My comments probably made it seem like all I care about is fashion, or makeup, or appearance. I can tell you I really enjoy all of that – it’s who I am. It’s the world I come from, and as a person in the media I have certain expectations for myself. But I am only one person. There are a lot of ways of being trans. And I want to help create a world in which people are able to express their gender in any way that is true and authentic for them. And most importantly – a world in which how a trans person is treated isn’t dependent on how they look.”
