 So by now, I'm sure that you know Kailin Jenner is running to be the governor of California and She's a pretty standard Republican right but one area where I think that people logically expected her to be a little bit better than her Republican colleagues is at least on some social issues LGBTQ rights in particular right because even if she's Generally pretty clueless even if she doesn't have the best instincts She's literally transgender. So you'd expect that at a minimum She'd at least be somewhat better than her Republican colleagues when it comes to transgender rights But that's not actually the case because she just endorsed a policy that harms trans youth and as AP reports Kailin Jenner the former Olympic champion and reality TV personality now running for California governor Said she opposes transgender girls competing in girls sports at school Jenner 1976 Decathlon Olympic gold medalist who came out as a transgender woman in 2015 told a TMZ reporter on Saturday that it's a question of fairness That's why I oppose a biological boys who are trans competing in girls sports in school It just isn't fair and we have to protect girls sports in our schools Jenner said Saturday during a brief interview in a Malibu parking lot So let me just reiterate that Katelyn Jenner a transgender woman supports an explicitly discriminatory policy against transgender people Yeah, and she actually took to Twitter to double down on this idiotic stance saying I didn't expect to get asked this on my Saturday morning coffee run, but I'm clear about where I stand It's an issue of fairness and we need to protect girls sports in our schools. This is basically a self-parody She's a self-hating transgender woman and For her she grew up with a lot of wealth a lot of privilege She didn't transition when she was young So she doesn't know what it's like to be a young transgender person in high school She doesn't know that struggle sure she struggled with her gender identity back when she was young But she doesn't know the way in which these bills unnecessarily Target trans students for no reason when this isn't actually an issue and Parkham Loy on Twitter had a really great threat Explaining just how stupid these types of policies are California is one of just a few states that have laws explicitly allowing trans students to participate in K through 12 school sports It went into effect in 2014 as you can see by the fact that girls sports have not been obliterated It's not actually an issue and yet this has been the law for years in California And there haven't been any legitimate complaints It's evidence that girl sports aren't actually under threat and that the rush to pass bills banning trans students from participating are Unnecessary at best. So obviously Republicans are trying to create a solution for a problem that doesn't actually exist But it's actually a little bit more nefarious than that because what they're trying to do is they're trying to create this wedge issue Since they can't appeal to voters with economic policies since they only support policies that benefit the rich What they're trying to do is Pray on trans people in order to score political points with unsuspecting people who don't know any better Who don't know a trans person so they don't know how these bills are discriminatory and how this isn't actually an issue It's truly morally reprehensible But this is exactly what you'd expect from a party that is morally bankrupt Now the West Virginia governor Jim Justice actually just signed a bill into law that bans trans females in high school from participating in school sports And when he was asked to provide a single example Where a trans student gained some sort of unfair competitive advantage as you're going to see he couldn't cite one Can you name one example of a transgender child trying to gain an unfair competitive advantage at a school there in West Virginia? Well, well Stephanie, I don't have that experience exactly to myself right now, but I will tell yourself your state Sir, can you give me one example of a transgender child trying to get an unfair advantage just one in your state? You signed a bill about it No, I can't really tell you one But I can tell you this Stephanie I'm a coach and I'm with and I coach your girls basketball team and I can tell you that there You know, we all know we all know what a an absolute advantage boys would have playing against girls But sir, you have no examples of this happening. Why would you take your time to do this? Let's talk about other things that I can give you examples of in your state According to US News and World Report West Virginia ranks 45th in education 47th in health care 48th on the economy and 50th in infrastructure if you cannot name one single example for me of a Child doing this. Why would you make this a priority? I just named four things that would seem to me like a much bigger priority Well, Stephanie, I didn't make it a priority. It wasn't my bill signed it I mean, it's just it's just come to me and I have absolutely signed it because I believe from the standpoint of a coach I believe that girls work so hard to obtain Title nine and I do not have any idea now why we are trying to Disadvantage them in participating in the sport that they put so much into I don't know why we're doing that This is not like it's a big priority to me. In fact, I think we only have 12 Stephanie listen, I think we only have 12 kids Maybe in our state that are are transgender type kids There's only like 12 kids who are trans in West Virginia So I better make sure I go out of my way to target them even more with this Unnecessary blatantly discriminatory transphobic bill makes sense, right? This is exactly what Caitlyn Jenner supports a Transgender woman so this goes without saying just because Caitlyn Jenner is transgender doesn't mean that she is a representative of the trans community or a representative for the average trans-american in The same way that Milo Yiannopoulos or Dave Rubin aren't representatives for gay men in America And speaking of Dave Rubin He seems pretty fond of Caitlyn Jenner Then Caitlyn Jenner who right now is running for governor of California and by the way Caitlyn's people we've reached out to you through every proper channel. I've tweeted a couple times I'll give you about a two-week window here to respond to us before I think that this thing's just like some sort of PR stunt Like I'll give you a fair interview and I hope we can do it And by the way as it stands right now, I support you Caitlyn Jenner because a anyone's better than Gavin Newsom But you've said some things that make some sense. So if you want to have an honest conversation completely unedited I won't bring any notes. I'm not trying to get you. Just want to hear what you think Please do respond. Hey Caitlyn, you know like me I really admire your willingness to attack your own community at the behest of a political party But I just can't support you if you don't respond within the next two weeks to come on my program So that's the deadline two weeks and I'm just gonna have to assume that you're not a serious actor and That you're just a grifter and trust me. I know something about grifting I can spot a grifter since I'm a grifter myself It's just embarrassing who bases their support on a politician on whether or not they come on your podcast That's delusional Actual I could think of one other person who does that but I mean at the end of the day The point is that Caitlyn Jenner even if she's transgender She is not a good representative for the trans community and if anything her visibility is hurting Transgender Americans because guess what? Republicans who are pushing these sorts of bills across the country now They're going to use Caitlyn Jenner as a defense for their discriminatory policies They'll point to her and say look even a transgender woman doesn't think that our policies are harmful or even discriminatory I mean all Caitlyn Jenner is doing here and what folks like Dave Rubin do is they just provide cover For the Republican Party give them permission to discriminate against marginalized communities You can call it now. We're equal. You call me whatever you want, you know to me like you could call And that's what it feels like would mean anything to me the it's just honestly disgusting to use your identity To weaponize more hate to use it as a shield for people trying to hurt your community There's a unique evil to that. I mean to be transphobic in and of itself is unacceptable It's unjustifiable, but to be transgender and enable this There's not just like a certain stupidity to this, but it's also uniquely nefarious Because Caitlyn Jenner should in theory know better She knows what it's like to live as a trans woman in America albeit a privileged rich trans woman, but still a trans woman But she doesn't care because politically this is the position that her party has taken So she's gonna you know a toe the party line It's truly disgusting and it's also really embarrassing and shameful I don't know how Caitlyn Jenner sleeps at night throwing her own community under a bus But nonetheless, um, I hope that you can live with yourself knowing that you are further hurting this community
