Easy. Vote against Jenner. She's unreliable as an advocate for the community. And, quite frankly, has engaged in advocacy and behavior calling her advocacy of the community into question.
Just because she's Trans, doesn't mean she's the Trans candidate.
Just like Alan Keyes got voted down by a huge margin by African American voters in Maryland when he ran for Senate against a white incumbent.
We will all vote against Jenner, and no one will lose one bit of sleep over it.

You can't pick up the woman's vote by finding someone who supports a party that opposes issues important to women, simply because you nominated a random woman to represent you.
It doesn't work for Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Gays, etc.
But the GOP certainly keeps trying.

Where the minority card DOES sometimes (but not always) works is when you have a candidate from a community that has a message that resonates within that community. That is how you get huge increases in support within a community with a candidate from that community.
