Caitlyn Jenner: I’m Fighting for the Next Generation Coming Up

‘With the suicide rates, and all the problems that we have, yeah, we’ve got a lot of work to do’

RUSH EXCERPT:
JENNER: "They do not understand gender identity. They understand sexuality. The old saying is sexuality is who you sleep with. Gender identity is who do you go to bed as. It is a totally different subject. You cannot compare sexuality and gender identity. It is a hard thing. Honestly, I’ve been fighting this war for the last couple of years, and I don’t even think in my lifetime most people will get it. But we need to bring this subject forward. Why? Because of the youth. That’s what I talk about in the book a lot. I don’t — I’m fine. Everything in my life is good. I’ve been very lucky. But what I’m fighting for is the next generation coming up, so they can have it easier for them. So that’s where the fight is. I mean, with the suicide rates, and all the problems that we have, yeah, we’ve got a lot of work to do and trying for people to understand the issues."
