I'm not going to weigh in on whether she deserves the award. However, the way her actions have been perceived by the public troubles me. Attributing bravery to a person is normally complimentary. However, associating Jenner's recent life trajectory with courage has uncomfortable implications about how our culture views gender and transition.
