Well, then-- are we properly patronized now? "It’s so funny that everybody thinks that I’m avoiding anything. I’m actually being very true to who I am. So first of all, do I agree with Trump on 100 percent of things? No. Do I disagree with Trump on 100 percent of things? No. I don’t agree with my husband 100 percent of the time either." …

LOL! No "avoiding" anything going on _there_! With such a low bar to clear (don't agree with anyone 100% of the time), I gather that every one of us can be "very true to who (we) are". But that doesn't say much about "who we are" beyond the fact that we're not perfect clones of another person.
"I think it also helps people understand me more when I talk about being a woman."
Really? Why?
One's gender--male or female--as a simple matter of fact, is about the least interesting thing about one. Why should I understand a candidate for the presidency of the United States "better" by her talking about "being a woman"? I want the candidate to talk about "being a _president_ of the United States. Or is she running to be elected to "be a woman"? I'm really very weary of such pandering to nonsense.
..."it’s just loving who you are. I love being a woman."
Who cares? I don't. And if a woman--or a man, for that matter--told me about the things he or she doesn't like about being who he or she is, I'd learn just as much--if not more--about the person.
... "I’m proud of being a woman."
Why? What did you have to do with this? Wasn't it merely the happenstance of birth?
What is it about that accident which makes it a source of "pride"?
..."my mom would say to me, 'Your job is not to show them how you’re different; your job is to show them how you’re similar.'"...
Well, Mom had a winning formula: be all things to all people, from sea to shining sea. So, whether in Seattle, or Skokie or Selma or Tucumcari or Tisbury, figure out what the locals are "like" and stress one's similarities with them. More "being very true to who (you) are"?
