Caitlyn is running for governor of California as a Republican.

To win, she must take these positions.

waitingforthenextseason · 02/05/2021 10:39

Or rather, to win party support, she must take these positions.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 10:45

NotBadConsidering thanks for the reminder.

Jenner would have been ridiculed in interviews if any other position than this was taken. It would have been an end to political campaigning. As it happens, this "surprised on the coffee run" comment is serving Jenner rather well.

Women should be demanding follow up questions about what Jenner thinks is fair for girls and women rather than celebrating crumbs.

Chamonixshoopshoop · 02/05/2021 10:49

Finally someone making some sense. It’s the only logical stance. Science is still important.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 10:52

Yes follow up questions are required.

GreyhoundG1rl · 02/05/2021 10:52

I'm boggling at Jenner isn't trans...

Words are literal violence, we are women if we say we are, no debate - and now they're tell Jenner that they're (struggling with pronouns here, is Caitlin she?) not trans because she's done something the herd don't agree with?
So now it's we are who we say we are and you are who we say you are.
Getting out of hand now...

I am sure Jenner wishes to further a political career but that does not negate the truth of the statement. Transwomen are biologically male and have an unfair advantage when competing in female sporting events.

That histogram looks just like a, erm, binary is in play. Who'd ever have suspected that?

By their own standards, the TRAs are being extremely transphobic.

They believe that it is transphobic to disbelieve anyone's self-identified gender identity.

Hoist by their own petard. Or would be, if they had ever cared in the slightest for being logically consistent! Grin

CaveMum · 02/05/2021 11:08

I saw one TRA dismissing Jenner’s athletic accomplishments by stating that “she wasn’t trans then”, which surely flies in the face of their assertion that trans is “who you truly are” and “the way you are born”.

Trans logic eats itself.

BewaretheIckabog · 02/05/2021 11:09

So many times we’ve been told to shut up because it should be left to trans people to discuss trans issues. Now a trans person who is by that reasoning allowed to discuss these issues is being told to shut up.

Doesn’t matter who the messenger is no debate is the only recourse .

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 02/05/2021 11:12

I saw one response Helle saying Jenner is a drag queen.
I await the drag queens pointing at the trans umbrella.

Doyoumind · 02/05/2021 11:21

When the only argument TRAs and their allies have is that there's no evidence trans girls will beat females or that the science has actually shown there's no advantage it's absolute proof that they don't care about the facts. I wonder how they would perform on a lie detector because I'm pretty sure that deep down they know they're talking shit.

ThisIsSimplyBeyond · 02/05/2021 11:22

Regardless of political views, Jenner can't back the TA view on sport, or Jenner would have to hand back the gold's.

Couldn't have competed as female instead when they were won - when there was no female decathlon....

💯

R0wantrees · 02/05/2021 11:27

It is particularly difficult for a former male athlete who competed in the decathlon, a sex specific event, to deny that sex matters in sport.

Daly Thompson stood up for girls and women in sport a long time ago.

LostToucan · 02/05/2021 11:32

The level of vitriol on Twitter is astounding.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 11:34

Isn't it just. This is the start of the attempted cancellation of CJ.

lionheart · 02/05/2021 11:37

@LostToucan

Of course they’re all shouting about “the evidence” that transwomen/trans girls have no advantage, without being able to produce any of it.

Fortunately, plenty of people are posting the evidence of all the advantages of male physiology that are not cancelled out by hormones.

These are the links that feature in that VF article about Page:

transequality.org/

Always interesting to see what is said and by whom.

PurpleWh1teGreen · 02/05/2021 11:39

Caitlin won medals by beating males. You bet she doesn’t think much of the Johnny come latelys who want an easier route.

FightingTheFoo · 02/05/2021 11:42

From Twitter: "Caitlyn Jenner JK Rowling

rich white ladies who've come to dominate trans politics the last 6 years, even though they're both clueless about trans people & issues, & most trans people desperately want them to leave us alone."

Ah yes, both Caitlyn Jenner - a gold-winning Olympian and trans woman - and JK Rowling - a woman who once struggled with her gender - are both "clueless" and totally unqualified to speak on the topic of biological males in women's sports, spaces etc.

I wonder who that leaves who IS qualified? 🤔

It is. Which is why I tend to look at the evidence in peer reviewed scientific publications.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 11:48

most trans people desperately want them to leave us alone.

Which of course is not possible when their rights are in direct conflict with women's rights. On an individual level, yes of course leave them alone. But on a policy level, absolutely cannot do.

persistentwoman · 02/05/2021 11:48

My my. Another "off message" trans person. Good for Caitlin.
