Caitlyn is not a hero because of the hardship she suffered. She is more of an icon than a hero. She gets credit for being a huge public symbol that all transgenders everywhere can point to and say "Look. Great, successful people can be transgenders. We are not all mentally ill losers."
All the average everyday transgender people who have to work every day could not accomplish what Caitlyn did. That is why she gets so much credit and recognition.
You can argue about what the word "hero" means. But to a lot of transgender people she is the greatest thing that has happened for them.
