Caitlyn Jenner running on an anti-trans platform isn't the least bit surprising.

On Saturday, recently announced gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner was asked by TMZ about whether or not biological men should be able to compete in women's sports. Jenner announced last Friday, as Reagan reported, that she is running against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) who will be facing a recall.
Caitlyn Jenner: “It’s a question of fairness. I oppose biological boys who are ttans competing in girls sports in school. It just isn’t fair, and we have to protect girls sports.” pic.twitter.com/jioEC3K97y— Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) May 1, 2021
TMZ seems caught off guard by her answer, opening their reporting that her "take on trans athletes [is one] you might not expect." The piece later reads that:
Yeah, we know ... it's a pretty interesting stance -- especially coming from Caitlyn ... who of course, is a trans woman herself AND a former Olympic champion. But, check out her rationale ... she chalks it up to fairness and protecting the integrity of girls' sports.
While TMZ may not be too keen on buying it, at least Jenner says "I'm clear about where I stand." In that regard, the piece closes with how "Caitlyn is leaning right on the issue. Republicans are usually the ones who support these types of bans."
Yes, she is "leaning right" because she is a Republican and is running as one, so it makes sense to affiliate herself with the Republican position, regardless of her gender identity.
Naturally, she received flack from those on the left, who would loving nothing more than to put the entire LGBT community into a single box.
You are such a traitor @Caitlyn_Jenner
So we need to “protect girls sports”from other girls now? And fairness? Don’t you know how testosterone blockers work? https://t.co/JI35faSdbc— Fallon Fox (@FallonFox) May 1, 2021
You know that trans girls are girls. Wow. Going against your own community. That tells me everything I need to know. #RepublicanHypocrites #TransRightsAreHumanRights— madi bear ???????? (@madi515) May 1, 2021

Caitlyn Jenner is anti-trans. She doesn’t understand the science, and she is pandering to the ignorance of anti-trans people. I have absolutely no problem saying Caitlyn Jenner supports and directly benefits from transphobia. https://t.co/wWZcUTPqj6— Charlotte Clymer ????? (@cmclymer) May 1, 2021
Why @Caitlyn_Jenner is attacking trans kids right now is beyond me... https://t.co/rGnZbMAF9j— Fallon Fox (@FallonFox) May 1, 2021
Sweetie, there are women with internalized misogyny who are worse than many sexist men.
If you think Caitlin Jenner can’t be anti-trans because she’s trans, you’re deluding yourself.
If you oppose trans rights, you’re anti-trans. Pretty damn simple. https://t.co/3VCd5Gl6l4— Charlotte Clymer ????? (@cmclymer) May 1, 2021
The naysayers take the issue out of context, too. Transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox simplifies the issue as a matter of "testosterone blockers." Clymer doesn't expand upon her definition of "science" there. That she is affiliated with Catholics for Choice, a super pro-abortion organization, may tell us enough though when it comes to her views on science overall.
Why is it so hard for people to see members of the LGBT community as their own persons who think for themselves, even if their views may be what some consider against that demographic's interests?
For what it's worth, it's not merely Republicans who say this. PBS News Hour claimed Republicans--and Americans overall--opposed such legislation to protect women from competing with biological men in sports. The poll they conducted is inconsistent with results found in other polls, which is that Americans of both political parties support such legislation.
A series of states of states have passed laws doing just that, including West Virginia, as I just reported. Florida is expected to soon follow.
I honestly don’t know what happened to Bruce Jenner, other than that the wife cut his gonads off, stopping his testosterone production, but his support of gender separated sports is welcome.
Bruce cut his dong off and is in a drag now but he makes sense. If I’m in California, I might vote for him.
Sadly, “Bruce,” the name, has been a “tag name” for a faggot.
I have known many men named Bruce and all were straight shooters. Bruce Jenner is a publicity whore who refused to leave the spotlight after his Olympic days.
What a crock of manure he has become, staying in the limelight!
He’s still another RINO.
“If I’m in California, I might vote for him.”
You mean “vote for it”?
New definition of science: whatever enhances my personal worldview.
sick is sick is sick.
That is EXACTLY why we want you to stay where you are. PLEASE don’t bring your communist crap our direction.! Stay in the filth you create. Just DON’T bring it to us!
Testosterone blockers will not take away greater bone density and muscle mass. It is absolutely unfair to women when men, who have gone through procedures, now claim to be women and want to compete against real women.
I follow MMA, and there was a fighter called Fallon Fox who would compete against women. Now, those women he/she competed against were really muscular. Really really muscular. More than most men.
They still had no chance against Fallon Fox!
It is good to see Jenner say the obvious truth. That it is unfair. This nonsense will get a good punch in the gut when elite and former elite athletes come against it.
Same thing happened in tennis, when John McEnroe (who likes Serena Williams) stated she was the best female tennis player in the world. The usual media silliness took over and they started asking him why he had to say ‘greatest female’ and not just simply ‘greatest.’
He responded by saying in the men’s ranking she would be about 700th!
After a big firestorm, ironically it was Serena herself that killed the discussion. When she said she fully agreed with John, that the men were much faster and more powerful, and that male and female tennis were completely different sports!
There are very real physical advantages the average man has over the average woman. In the same way, there are very real physical advantages the elite man will have over the elite woman. While an elite woman can beat the average man in a particular sport, an elite woman cannot beat an elite man competing in that sport.
Look at the 100m dash!
Many of the women who compete at the Olympic level would be 100% of FReeper men in the 100m dash (unless there’s one of us who is a male Olympic sprinter). They’d beat 100% of us.
Put them in the men’s 100m dash, and the best female runner will come dead last (compare the times - dead last). The slowest man in the 100m dash could break records in the female race.
Same thing - a professional athlete who was born a man but takes hormones will end up somewhere in between an elite male and an elite female.
Not good enough to compete with the men who are not taking blockers, but definitely good enough to dominate the women.
And that is unfair
Few people are as well qualified to comment on this as Jenner is. Thank goodness s/he is on the right side of this. It’s going to help.
“If I’m in California, I might vote for him.”
Yes, me too. An opposite answer to this question would have been a total deal breaker. Although Schwartzenegger was a big disappointment.
But you know, I’m very glad the question was asked.
Now I want someone to ask Chirlane McCray (aka Mrs. Bill DeBlasio) about leaving the homosexual life.
Yes
But there's still time for the 'rats to browbeat him/her into 'seeing the light '.
