Caitlyn Jenner has called on the National Collegiate Athletic Association to immediately stop transgender athletes like UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas from competing against their biological counterparts. Jenner said there was no doubt that the rules need to be changed just as the NCAA Board of Governors were meeting to review rules on transgender athletes. "All of this woke world that we are living in right now is not working", said Jenner. "I feel sorry for the other athletes that are out there, especially at Penn or anybody she's competing against, because in the woke world, you've got to say, 'Oh, my gosh, this is great,' No, it's not."

I wonder how all those Decathletes felt about losing to a girl in 1976?
Jenner has more integrity than the ridiculous NCAA, kicking the can down the road.
One thing we can say about Bruce: He competed as a man. He never demanded to compete against women.
He mentioned the physical aspects being the issue. Stronger, bigger cardio system, larger frame. I think this will boil things down to the trans community having to accept (wishful thinking I know) that they were born man or woman and their “transition” is a psychological one....period! No matter what they do to their bodies, it must be viewed no different than a body piercing or tattoo. Something they changed to look different and nothing more.
# Still Bruce!
I don’t really care much about the name change. There have been legal processes in place for changing your name pretty much forever. OTOH, there is no way I’ll ever call him a ‘her’ or ‘she’. He’s still a man, even if he has mental priblems.
Evil transphobic Bruce!
“First of all, I respect her decision to live her life authentically, 100%, but that also comes with responsibility...”
When someone presents living a life of lies as being authentically virtuous, nothings else he or she says (wow pun intended) can be regarded as bearing truth.
(Waits patiently for the burning at the stake)
Someone remind Jenner that he was born a boy, raised as a boy, won competitions as a boy....then lost himself in some imaginative, ridiculous scheme....that did not change the past or the fact that he is male.
Being woke means rejecting the truth and reality. So messed up.
Thank you, Bruce....
I applaud Bruce for his courage in attacking this “swimmer’.
If you call him a woman even though the cold water still gives him a shrinkage problem ... you might be a Democrat. LOL
Bruce has been consistent in this regard. He’s a mental case but he understands athletes and knows what’s right and wrong here.
“It’s unfortunate that this is happening. I don’t know why she’s doing it.”
Could it be because people like Bruce refer to him as a she? And last I looked “she” refers to a woman.
Bruce wants to have it both ways.
“”All of this woke world that we are living in right now is not working”, said Jenner.”
So why is he supporting it by still pretending to be a woman?
Why not do something truly courageous - say you’re a man with some mental issues, which is the truth.
Seems highly hypocritical.
I’m going to play devil’s advocate here. “Authentically” means this he/she is playing a role that they will fulfill at all costs to themself. BUT, even Bruce understands they are truly men at the core and no amount of surgery will ever change it.
When you quit worrying about what your enemy calls you
You will be free
Real easy to solve - create a third “trans” division where trans men and women can duke it out, tranno a tranno. We could even add a gymnastics /skating style 1-10 point scale judging system to add in style points and drama queenery, prima donna behavior and media posturing to the results. I’d pay to watch that spectacle. What’s not to like?
It’s pretty bad when even a nutter like Bruce Jenner comes out and says: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys are taking this whole thing WAY too far.”
