Caitlyn Jenner was labeled ‘anti-trans’ over her recent outspoken position that transgender females should not compete in women’s sports.
Caitlyn Jenner makes her way back into the public eye as she takes a controversial position on transgenders competing in sports. According to Jenner, non-biological females shouldn’t compete in female sports because it ‘just isn’t fair’. According to Yahoo Sports, Jenner was “Speaking to TMZ on Saturday, the former Olympian and reality TV star was asked to offer her opinion on legislation that exists in various US states to “ban biological boys who are trans from playing girls’ sports in school”.”
Jenner doubled down on her position and continued, “This is a question of fairness. That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girl’s sports in school. It just isn’t fair, and we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools.” The reporter pressed into Jenner and continued to ask her if such a ban was “de-legitimising” to a trans person’s identity, but Jenner did not respond and instead replied with “have a good day” before getting into her car and leaving.
Jenner’s position sparked many in the nation to respond negatively and fire back at Jenner’s comments. One person wrote in and said, “Cait… this ain’t it. When you’re on hormones and or blockers there is not an advantage. I ran track at the club level with college girls and trust me there is no advantage. I would have went pro if I was able to run the times I ran before hormones etc.”
