I find this interesting because it's written by a trans person.

You don't have to agree with CJ to recognise that this is a powerful article and helps challenge the "be kind to sad men" demands made by so many Stonewall captured sports governing bodies.

Just waiting for the usual crowd to call CJ a transphobe now.

As the world's greatest athlete at 26 years old, a lifelong news and sports commentator, and the patriarch of one of the world's most famous families, I have a duty to add my voice to the furious, evolving debate over transgenderism and elite athletic competition.

Christ. It really doesn't help that Jenner is such a dick.

I'm afraid I see it as the likes of Piers Morgan weighing in- not necessarily a positive for us.

Jenner anticipated 2 currently relevant news stories back in 2022. (Thomas is currently taking legal action about swimming in the Olympics.)

"'I can still hit a golf ball 280 yards after seven YEARS of hormone therapy - there's a lot of testosterone left over!' Caitlyn Jenner doubles down on criticism of Lia Thomas being allowed to swim as a woman and calls for stricter NCAA rules
Caitlyn Jenner said Wednesday said rules on trans athletes competing need to be stricter
At the moment, the NCAA allows trans athletes to compete if they have taken hormone replacement therapy for a year
Doctors say it's not enough to reverse the physical advantages that develop during puberty
Jenner, 72, started transitioning in 2015 and says she still has a physical advantage on the golf course
She said she 'doesn't blame Lia' but that the rules ought to be stricter
Thomas wants to continue competing and is eyeing a run at the Olympics "

Caitlyn Jenner: I have 'lots' of leftover testosterone despite therapy

Jenner, 72, appeared on FOX News on Wednesday morning, a day after Thomas gave her first on-camera interview. She said she doesn't blame Thomas for the storm but that there needs to be change.

CJ is already unpopular with TRAs for speaking out about sport in the past few years, and for not being a democrat/ liberal. Doubt they'll be handing back their Women of the Year awards though.

Omg, did he really describe himself like that?

When I started reading I assumed somebody else had written that. Certainly sounds keen on himself!
