Caitlyn Jenner: I’d be ‘trans ambassador’ for Cruz

By Gregory Krieg, CNN

Updated 1:24 PM EST, Fri March 4, 2016

“I think he’s very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man,” the Olympic champion and reality television star told The Advocate in an interview published Wednesday evening. “I haven’t endorsed him or anything like that. But I also think, he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.”

Those concerns aside, Jenner, a Republican, said she found Cruz to be “very nice” when they met before her transition and hoped he would be open to her counsel if he’s elected in November.

“Wouldn’t it be great,” she said. “I have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues.”

Asked by The Advocate if that meant being Cruz’s “trans ambassador,” Jenner said, “Yes, trans ambassador to the president of the United States, so we can say, ‘Ted, love what you’re doing but here’s what’s going on.’”
