I remember being a kid and for a while Jenner was literally The American. The athlete on the cereal box, on the TV, in the news.

Don't give in to the hate, people. Associate yourself with the polity that embraces a diverse, pluralistic democracy and who value science over faith. Else the leopards eat your face.

Jenner noted that the policy could affect her ability to vote, adding that she did not believe the policy was "really thought out, what this means."

Oh, no, it was thought out: demonize and literally cast out trans people, removing their ability to work, move away, or be vocal in support of themselves. Then you move them into camps, either for "their protection" or to "protect society from them".

True story: Bruce Jenner was an active race car driver in the 90s. The series he participated in was the Trans Am series.

My favorite part is:

"I don't blame President Trump. I love him."

Their supreme leader can do not wrong.

Totally not a cult, though.

She's clearly still got at least one foot on the ladder or she wouldn't be raising an issue here. That's a special kind of stupid.

I'm a trans woman living abroad. I'm in the middle of reviving my documents from my birth country because my US passport is about to expire but I can't renew it. It has caused a ton of stress as you'd Imagine. I'm grateful I have a second country to fall back on, but a lot of people in the same position don't, and it's absolutely terrifying and a human rights violation.

All just to say, on behalf of the trans community, choke on a gangrenous dick Caitlyn

Bonus: Kudos to my Central American birth country for understanding and being massively helpful after 30 years away

The policy was not really thought out?

It was exactly what Trump and his Heritage buddies wanted. Guess the one who didn't really think things through is one Caitlyn Jenner.

Transphobia as a means of attacking a horrible woman who severely and intentionally harmed the trans community is still transphobia and only continues the harm. Please do better.

She thought she was one of the "good ones" who wouldn't be affected. I guess the problem with focusing so much on sports instead of education is that you never heard of Himmler's "one good Jew" speech. Which was essentially that everyone knew "one good Jew" that they would save but if they did that, almost every Jewish person in the country would be saved, so there would be no exceptions for "good" Jewish people. [Excluding, of course, Hitler's mother's Jewish doctor, who Hitler ordered the Gestapo to protect, and whom Hitler eventually helped emigrate to the US, along with all his personal wealth.]

There are plenty of recent pictures of her at Mar-a-lago. She's not just a supporter, she's someone that has been to his parties

They didn't. Jenner went by Bruce and their gender identity was male at the time.

She described having the sex marker M on her passport as a "big problem," adding: "I don't blame President Trump. I love him." Jenner said she appealed to him for help but received no response. Then the iron door to the gas chamber was slammed shut and locked from the outside. No further comment from Jenner has been forthcoming since.

My trans sister from abroad is in the process of getting her passport from her other citizenship and they only recognize her ghost identity. But it is better than the rights currently afforded under USA law so we're getting her protected.

Serious question here. If someone was well known as a previous name and sex, is it still deadnaming to refer to them that was in a historical context? They’re a perfect example here. If looking for historical information on their racing history and articles, you have to refer to them as Bruce.

IMO, best practice is still to use the current name/pronouns. I think it's OK to say something like "Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce" if clarity is needed and then proceed with current name going forward. In this instance, everyone knew who we were talking about so it was unnecessary.

Still best practice to use current name unless the person has specified otherwise.
