Change.org petition urges IOC to revoke Caitlyn Jenner’s gold medal
The Washington Post ^ | 06/03/2015 | Cindy Boren

A petition posted on change.org is urging the International Olympic Committee to take back the gold medal Caitlyn Jenner won in the 1976 Games in Montreal.

Jenner, who announced her new name as Caitlyn on Monday and said she has always known she was a woman, competed in the Olympic decathlon as Bruce Jenner. In 1976, Jenner, who was married at the time, was not taking hormone therapy; she may have known she was a woman for her whole life, but she was living as a man, no matter how unhappily, at that time.

If Jenner has always truly been a woman, as the Left claims, Jenner is not entitled to those gold medals by the rules.

Referring to the man, Bruce Jenner, as a woman named Caitlin is like referring to the (then) teenager Warwick Davis as an Ewok named Wicket.

Doing so in dead earnestness is evidence of dissociation from reality.

This is the dark underbelly of social media...

He should have his gigantic achievement he accomplished 40 years ago be nulled and voided because he became mentally ill ?

"3,000 supporters 3 Hours ago"

How many petitions does the IOC get? They will never do this, and it's all good clean fun.

What’s with all the “she” silliness?

Bruce Jenner was male at the instant of his conception, and he’ll die a male, no matter how horribly a surgeon may mutilate him.

This is all getting ridiculous. Jenner WAS a man at that time, no matter if he “felt” like a woman and regardless of it he IS a woman at this time.

He won as a man, fair and square, he gets to keep the medals and all the IDIOTS saying he WAS a woman at that time need to get a grip.

I’d like Jenner to address this, I’m pretty sure he’d make a reasonable statement.

Don’t know how he fathered children as a woman either, should we take their birth certificates away?

He's still a man. If he wants to change his sex, he will have to change every cell in his body.

Since Jenner likes women, does that make him Gay (lesbian)

He's still a man. Warped, disfigured, and insane, but still a man.
