Caitlyn Jenner's Political Beliefs Cause Controversy With Transgender Friends

Caitlyn Jenner knows a thing or two about stirring the pot, but in the latest clip from her reality show I Am Cait, the former Olympian ticked off some of her transgender friends with her conservative political beliefs.
Caitlyn takes a road trip with some of her new girlfriends, and one of their discussions is about the challenges transgendered folks face in today's economy. "What's the big issue?" Cait says. Pal Chandi responds, "They're homeless, unemployed, so it's just going to take a lot more." Gal pal Jen Richards chimes in, "I think if I was to focus on one area it would be entry level jobs so that these girls have some alternative if they wanted.
"Don't a lot of times they can make more not working with social programs than they actually can with an entry level job?" Cait asks. "But you don't want people to get totally dependent on it. That's when they get in trouble. ‘Why should I work?'" Well, we see her point but apparently Cait's friends got their panties in a bunch over it.
Jenny Boylan told the camera, "Now I'm worried. Caitlyn has every right to be just as conservative as she choses, but many transgender men and women need social programs to survive, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Living in the bubble is an impediment to understanding other people. Cait's going to be a spokesperson for the community. This is something she's going to have to understand."
