Future Calfornia governor Caitlyn Jenner continued her campaign to prove she had absolutely no business in the job this weekend. Asked about the place of transgender children in school sports, Jenner said transgender girls should not be allowed to compete.
Jenner made the remarks during an impromptu interview for Disclose.TV. The images have since gone viral thanks to Jenner’s inflammatory remarks. Asked about several bills recently passed in states such as Arkansas and Idaho that ban transgender girls from participating in women’s sports teams, Jenner had a surprising response.
“It’s a matter of fairness,” Jenner said. “This is why I am opposed to biological trans boys who compete for girls’ places in school. It just isn’t fair. And we need to protect girls’ sport in our schools. “

Images of the meeting quickly went viral on social media, prompting an immediate backlash against the Olympic gold medalist. Then, in an even more shocking move, Jenner doubled down on her words.
I didn’t expect to be asked on my Saturday morning coffee run, but I’m clear on my stance. It is a matter of fairness and we must protect girls’ sport in our schools.

“I didn’t expect to be asked this on my Saturday morning coffee run,” she tweeted, “but I’m clear on my stance. It is a matter of fairness and we must protect girls’ sport in our schools. “
Needless to say, Twitter has given some thought to Jenner’s remarks.
“Cait… that’s not it,” wrote former Jenner co-star I Am Cait, Trace Lysette. “When you take hormones and / or blockers, there is no benefit. I have run on track at club level with female students and believe me there is no benefit. I would have been pro if I could have run the times I ran before hormones etc. “

“You are such a traitor @Caitlyn_Jenner,” said Fallon Fox, transgender MMA fighter. “So we need to ‘protect women’s sports’ from other girls now?” What about equity? Confused About How Testosterone Blockers Work? “
