By definition, being transgender means being a non-conformist. So, it is an excitingly rare occurrence that the issue has been on the forefront of so much media coverage recently. While members of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readunwritten.com\/2014\/05\/28\/true-life-i-hate-people-who-hate-gay-people\/\" target=\"_blank\">LGBTQ<\/a> community are surely welcoming the long-awaited acceptance that icons such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readunwritten.com\/2015\/06\/01\/caitlyn-jenner-vanity-fair-cover\/\" target=\"_blank\">Caitlyn Jenner<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.t-houseonline.com\/news-around-the-nation\/laverne-fox-is-first-transgender-woman-of-color-on-mainstream-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Laverne Fox<\/a> from <em>Orange Is The New Black<\/em> have received, there are some who can&#8217;t help but wonder if all the media attention has resulted in a misrepresentation of the community.<\/p>\n<p> When Caitlyn first announced that she was in the process of becoming a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a>, people were more than hesitant about it. <strong>It was not until she modified herself to fit society&#8217;s standards for being a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a> that she was embraced in loving arms.<\/strong> I am thrilled for Caitlyn and am truly proud that she is becoming the person she has desired to be all her life. It touches my heart to know about all the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a> individuals whose lives she has enriched and who she has inspired to finally showcase their true selves to the world.<\/p>\n<p> However, for many transgender people, such a dramatic transformation is simply unrealistic and from a practical standpoint, unaffordable. If Caitlyn had come out in 1976, the year she received an Olympic gold medal, such a medal would never have been received. This is because it is of upmost difficulty for a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/offers.cam4tracking.com\/aff_c?offer_id=125&#38;aff_id=2778&#38;source=gfcsb\">trans<\/a> individual to participate in sports, being that sports are primarily divided into <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">girls<\/a> teams and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boys<\/a> teams.
