Former Olympian and current California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner is under fire for daring to have an opinion that doesn’t agree with libs on sports and trans girls, something she knows quite a lot about on both fronts:
JENNER'S TAKE: Caitlyn Jenner says trans girls in women's sports is 'unfair.' 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.” https://t.co/ARWxNbGFeD

Watch for yourself:

Jenner doubled-down later on in a tweet saying she stands by what she said to TMZ’s journo:

I didn’t expect to get asked this on my Saturday morning coffee run, but I’m clear about where I stand. It’s an issue of fairness and we need to protect girls’ sports in our schools.https://t.co/YODLDQ3csP

And now people that used to support Jenner have turned on her:

. . .and how it’s going:
What evidence is @Caitlyn_Jenner basing this point of view on?
The state of California has ALWAYS allowed trans student to participate in sports.
What team,
School district,
Or athlete has been adversely affected by the unfairness?

More hate over her opinion:
Medical organizations, feminist organizations, and prominent cis women athletes, including Billie Jean King and Megan Rapinoe, have all spoken out against banning trans girls from sports. There is no evidence this is a problem anywhere.
Caitlyn Jenner is dead wrong on this.

Caitlyn Jenner does not speak for the trans community or trans people. We all hate her.
More than that, most of us resent her for the harm she’s done. https://t.co/7YA1VXKcOa

Her constituency of zero goes into negative numbers. https://t.co/DRxnowGQLq

There is always a section in each community that actively votes against their interests. Jenner is one of those. Her track record on LGBTQ people is abysmal. Her talking about keeping people safe is laughable if she wasnt so dangerous. Just another rich old white woman. https://t.co/R7yL0nLhx6

The argument that 'biological boys' should be able to run or jump or wrestle against girls if they want to … will one day seem very strange https://t.co/HLgadRoBGx
