"Annie Lebovitz has praised the former Olympian, who she photographed for Vanity Fair last year.

Celebrated photographer Annie Lebovitz – the woman behind Caitlyn Jenner's infamous Vanity Fair 'Call me Cait' cover – has championed the reality star as launched the exhibition.

The former decathlon gold medallist is featured alongside the likes of pop diva Adele and Queen Elizabeth II in a new exhibition by Leibovitz currently on show in Tokyo."

Liebovitz, as quoted in that piece, says nothing about a third gender; she says "more than two genders." And that's a good thing, because the notion that there is "a" third gender is pretty offensive. From what I've seen, the "third gender" always refers to trans women, as if there were no other trans identities. That erases the identities of trans men, and of any other trans folk who aren't trans women.

There is no gender called "trans." 

From my limited exposure to Pink News, it seems to be pretty much a rag... so I guess I'm not surprised that it's staffed by ignorant and thoughtless people.
