Caitlyn Jenner is lying [View all]

I’ve seen a lot of her garbage posted here too unfortunately.

This is a fabricated issue that has grown out of a broad lack of knowledge about trans children and trans health care coupled with an intentional effort by Republicans to dehumanize trans children.

It's understandable how people would be misled on this, especially if they don't know anyone who is transgender, but it is unconscionable that someone like Jenner, who knows that trans kids do not threaten girls' and women's sports, would take advantage of that lack of broad knowledge and weaponize it against trans children for political gain.

This matters because there is an ongoing nationwide campaign by Republican lawmakers to dehumanize trans children. Even trans children who don't play sports are seeing these arguments used to block gender-affirming medical care, despite every major medical authority, from the American Medical Association to the American Academy of Pediatrics, clearly stating their support for gender-affirming care for trans children
