Time for a left turn? Caitlyn Jenner comes under fire from transgender friends for being too conservative in I Am Cait trailer By Mike Larkin For Dailymail.com Published: 01:32 EST, 1 August 2015 | Updated: 07:29 EST, 1 August 2015
She has become a national icon of gender politics.
But now it seems Caitlyn Jenner could be coming under fire from fellow transgender women due to her self-confessed conservative views.
The hardcore Republican lands in hot water in the latest traliler for I Am Cait, after complaining about overly generous social programs while discussing how to address the problems people in their community face.

Caitlyn says: 'Don't a lot of times, they can make more not working with social programs than they actually can with an entry-level job.
'You don't want people to get totally dependent on it. That's when they get in trouble
'"Why should I work? I got a few bucks, I got my room paid for."'
The 65-year-old's criticism of welfare infuriates his fellow ladies, with one claiming the former Olympic gold medalist, who is worth an estimated $100 million, has spent to long living 'in the bubble' to understand the less fortunate.

She says: 'Caitlyn has every right to be just as conservative as she chooses.
'But many transgender men and women need social programs to survive, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.
'If Cait's going to be a spokesperson for the community. This is something she's going to have to understand.'
The women insist many in their community are suffering due to being homeless and that they struggle to find work, so need extra help from the state.
