While the overall reaction to Caitlyn Jenner's introduction has been overwhelmingly positive, restoring our faith in the world and making Caitlyn herself feel 'humbled' and extremely happy, there are some who haven't reacted quite so well.
In fact, a shocking petition has now been started urging the International Olympic Committee to actually REVOKE her incredible 1976 Olympic gold medal, as they claim she was "in violation of committee rules."
Yes, really.
The 65-year-old won the medal for the decathlon in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, but now some are suggesting that she should give back the medal.
And by some, we mean the 9,000 people who have actually signed this piece of CRAZINESS.
The Change.org petition was created by Jennifer Bradford, who says in an open letter: "It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman.
You may mean the female swimmers who were fed steriods. The gymnasts they just starve so that their bodies stay like little girls. It’s much easier to do those tricks when the body is tiny.
What can I say? Guess we’re just going to have to agree to disagree here. But I do think y’all are underestimating the enemy. That can be a dangerous thing. Whether or not he himself is intelligent, I suppose I can agree that it may be debatable, but the fact is, those surrounding him, and setting his agenda, then, are not. The bottom line, this administration, be it obola himself or those that are pulling his strings, are well aware of the fact that they are destroying America, and that IS their agenda. What’s more, they are being quite successful with it.
Woops! Posted the wrong response on the wrong thread. LMAO!!!! Wow. I think I may have reached my FReep quotient today...
Never mind my last. Lol. I’ve been FReeping way too long today, it would seem. :)
Shocking...to whom? Oh, I guess to our media masters.
He should retain his Gold Medal for the same reason that I he will always be a male: his XY chromosomes.
However, there's something wrong with him if he things surgery can turn him into a woman.
We are fighting the normalization of deviancy.
We are the sole bulwark of decency left remaining in this country, and we are obligated to confront this decay.
That is the justification.
