2. Caitlyn Wins Glamour Woman Of The Year Award
Caitlyn Jenner was honored with a Glamour Woman of the Year award, with the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Victoria Beckham, for her work in transgender advocacy. Caitlyn’s acceptance speech was praised as inspiring. The story should have ended there but as with anything Caitlyn seems to do, there was backlash. Rose McGowan, actress of Charmed and Scream fame, publicly voiced her concern with Caitlyn receiving this award. James Smith, husband of Moria Smith, a NYPD police officer who died while helping people on 9/11, returned his wife the 2001 Woman of the Year award and posted an open letter to Glamour on his Facebook page. In the letter, he asks, “Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?” Ouch. Well, regardless of some of the negative reaction, Caitlyn winning such an award was still a moment of great success.
