Caitlyn Jenner just said another really stupid thing and we can’t even with her anymore
Transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas has become a conservative media lightning rod since joining the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team last year.
Everyone seems to have an opinion about the young athlete, including transphobic transwoman Caitlyn Jenner. Ugh.Jenner was recently asked by The Daily Mail about what she thought of the 22-year-old swimmer being featured in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated and–surprise!–she was absolutely appalled by it.“The world’s gone mad,” she said. “It was never meant to be like this.”“I don’t think biological boys should compete in women’s sports.
We have to protect women’s sports. That’s the bottom line.”Related: Caitlyn Jenner retweets transphobic tweet aimed at trans athletesJenner is nothing if not consistent on this issue.During her ill-fated gubernatorial run in California last year, her two biggest campaign platforms were advocating for homeless people to shipped off to “big open fields” where they can’t “destroy” things and opposing trans athletes competing in sports.In the interview, Jenner also noted that while Thomas might technically be “following the rules”, she believes “the rules have to change”, since they give certain athletes an unfair advantage over others.“Here’s an example: I play golf and, seven years after my transition, I still have a big advantage over women players,” she explained.“I’m 6ft 1in.
I have longer arms than the ladies and I can outdrive them by a hundred yards. Even being off testosterone and on oestrogen for seven years now, what I’ve got left over is still more than they’ve ever had.
