KATIE HOPKINS: The hardest thing about being a woman, Caitlyn, isn't deciding what to wear - it's deciding which cross to bear

Katie Hopkins claims some of the best-looking men she knows are drag queens

What's the hardest thing about being a woman?

Trying to get it all done in a day? Doing the school run and turning up to work on time whilst smearing on makeup at the traffic lights? Wanting children and not being able to have them? The fear of losing a child?

In poorer countries, hard takes on new meaning. Hard is avoiding rape, fighting for an education, fleeing terror, finding a place to sleep.

So when GLAMOUR Woman of the Year, Caitlyn Jenner was asked what is the hardest thing about being a woman, her answer was enough to make my pelvic floor clamp shut;

'The hardest part of being a woman is figuring out what to wear.'

Whip me round the head with a Wimpy Bender Burger (£4.85 in participating restaurants) and squirt ketchup in my eyes! Anything to numb the pain of being loosely the same gender as Cait.

The widow of a recipient of the Woman of the Year award 2001 handed it back in disgust.

His wife, Moira Smith, was the only female New York Police office to die on 9/11, one of 23 NYPD officers killed that day.

'It's not that Glamour honoured a transgender person … but when Mr Jenner said the hardest thing about being a woman was figuring out what to wear he proved he is not truly a woman.'

And I'd agree.

Which is more or less what I said on Twitter at the time - and sometimes that network really is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Because this weekend I noticed a whole new bunch of people had started to retweet it like crazy.

Today it emerged that Caitlyn is also a nominee for Time magaine's Person of the Year 2015 - alongside Donald Trump and Angela Merkel for their impact on the news over the course of the year.

Caitlyn may have occupied the news agenda. But for what? A corset on the front cover of Vanity Fair? Her facial feminisation surgery?

Now, I don't care what you want to be in life. I'm not in the slightest bit offended if a man believes he was born a woman or Cara Delvigne wants to be fashionably lesbian. You can live your life in drag, believe you are Jesus, sew a penis on your head and call yourself Marjorie—I couldn't care less.

Some of the best-looking men I know are drag queens. They have better legs than Caitlyn or me AND a better sense of humour.

Many have been alienated by their friends, ostracised from their homes or thrown out by people who only loved them as they were. So they became fabulous instead.

TV personality Caitlyn Jenner attended the Glamour's 25th Anniversary Women of the Year Awards at Carnegie Hall in New York, in November, where she picked up an award 

But Caitlyn is cocooned from all of that in her Kardashian-shaped bubble. She has hurdled years of transphobia to transition when alternative is the new norm, scooping up awards and accolades along the way courtesy of her Kardashian pedigree. 

It even saved her from prosecution after a car crash when one lady died. Sued by three families involved for careless driving, Cait was more concerned she would end up in an all male prison than for the family of the 69 year old lady who was rammed head first into oncoming traffic.

Caitlyn, women are better than this,

The hardest thing I do as a woman is work away from my children each week. When people ask about it and seem confused I say I work like a husband. I fight my corner to work like a man every day.

Other women do far braver things; whether that is raising a child with complex needs, standing shoulder to shoulder with their husband to defend his honour (even when you are going to kill him when you get home) or looking after a parent with dementia.

We quietly transform the lives of others as a condition of motherhood, womanhood, childhood.

We are so much more than our hair, our dress, our makeup or how flat our pubic bone looks in swimwear.

Caitlyn. You were an Olympic athlete. As a man you were exceptional.

But you cannot be Woman of the Year JUST for becoming one.

You need to do something, be something.

You transformed into a woman. Now you need to do something transformative with your life as well
