Caitlyn Jenner says transgender girls in women's sports is 'unfair'

KTLA

Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic champion and reality TV personality now running for California governor, said she opposes transgender girls competing in girls’ sports at school.

Jenner, a 1976 decathlon Olympic gold medalist who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, told a TMZ reporter on Saturday that it’s “a question of fairness.”

“That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school. It just isn’t fair. And we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools,” Jenner said Saturday during a brief interview in a Malibu parking lot.

No words for this narcissist.

1. "we have to protect girls' sports in our schools,"

Well there it is the republican non issue issue that they will sell and run on. The threat of trans people being allowed
to live their lives as if they were normal.


Soft on communism, gay marriage, Hillary's emails, flag burning, the federal deficit (only when a Democrat
is in the White House), and so on.

2. It's a valid, but relatively small issue being used as a dog whistle to get support

4. Tiny issue.

Not all sports affected. Every individual is different.

3. Not at school? From 2016? Things were different.

9. transgender athletes won a total of 15 women's state championship titles in two years

in Connecticut. They had self-id'ed as women (meaning they took no hormones, did not suppress their testosterone).

We have no idea how many are impacted. Frankly, if it were men/boys who were impacted - it would be a non-issue. They view competition as important and focus on winning.

I keep seeing that girls will learn about being team players (because they need that lesson? Such misogyny). Or, they can just train harder (science flat-earthers).

TBH, I'm tired of linking the research. It's clear that people don't know how to read it, or don't care.

The research NO LONGER supports the idea that trans women (biological men who identify as women) can compete on an even playing field with biological women EVEN with testosterone suppression.

I have no idea why passing ideas, hopes, and philosophies trump science. But here we are.

eta: what the heck. perhaps someone cares:

Harper is a trans identified athlete who was once cited for including trans-girls in biological girls sports. She now reads the data differently. The transactivists still cite her early (preliminary) work. That is anti-science (not recognizing that things change/evolve).

11. Republicans will use Jenner to parrot their points on this issue.

This will cause division.
