""Are you the Caitlyn Jenner of airline pilots?" I ask Jessica Taylor as she is fresh off a turn flying from Aspen to Los Angeles. Taylor flies on the Aspen route network, known as one of the most demanding for pilots in the US.
I hope I'm not being overly forthright, and Taylor laughs. She says she's glad for the media attention on Jenner as the Olympian begins to live her life as Caitlyn.
"On many occasions I will hear things like, 'Hey she's like Caitlyn Jenner' or 'She's like Caitlyn'," Taylor says. "That very simple comment will allow dialogue to begin with people who previously didn't have the language to ask questions. She has provided a basic understanding for mainstream people to begin a conversation with a transgender person.""
