Of course Fox News would announce its hiring of Caitlyn Jenner on Transgender Day of Visibility. The trans former Olympic gold medalist and Republican California gubernatorial candidate in last year's recall election made her first appearance as a contributor that same evening — March 31 — on her pal Sean Hannity's program.

Jenner, part of the Kardashian clan, is not a spokesperson for the LGBTQ community, and to her credit, she hasn't claimed to be one.

But her conservative views align with her new employer, and that's the problem. "Caitlyn's story is an inspiration to us all," stated Fox CEO Suzanne Scott in making the announcement. "She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience."Scott didn't mince words with that statement — Fox News' audience no doubt will agree with Jenner, if they can get past the fact that a trans woman is talking to them.

Moreover, Jenner's hiring is just the latest salvo in Fox News' continued war on trans people, cynically using a conservative trans former athlete to do it.
