I don't have the answer to your questions MS.
Famous people get more notoriety than regular Joes and Josephines no matter what, hence being "famous".
I don't know if it would have enhanced the story more or less or had an impact on the coverage if Jenner had made for an ugly woman.
Anyway, I understand how you and Maggot feel. Lots of people feel that way. I see transgender individuals more than most, I'd guess, because of where I live and it's not shocking or anything to me anymore. I probably come across some that I don't know are transgender too.
For me, it's about listening to people and trying to understand what they're relaying and their motives, whether I agree or share the same perspectives or not. I have a solid bullshit detector and, after watching and listening to Jenner explain his experiences and feelings, I don't think that his gender transition was motivated by a desire to maintain/increase his already massive notoriety at all. However, I do feel that he is trying to manage that notoriety and use it to achieve something positive in this case.
But, you might watch and listen, hopefully with an open mind, and feel differently.
