I hope they don't take away my trans card, but I think her apology was classy. She could have issued a non-apology ("If I've offended anyone, blah, blah, blah"), but instead she chose to acknowledge our struggle.
I don't favor piling on someone who says something ill-informed and then corrects themselves when they are better informed.

ahh well that makes sense, then I did not read where she made an apology.
*ahh i see it now*
I think she was just offended at first, so adamant about her stance on equality for women, that she perhaps was unable to see Jenner's point right away.
