>> Caitlyn Jenner is coming under fire for remarks she made about transgender athletes.
Jenner who transitioned after Olympic gold medal career,
so she doesn't think trans girls should be allowed to compete in female sports. Those
comments are drawing fire as several states now trying to ban trans girls from competing.
>> Caitlyn Jenner now changing her position on the issue while running for governor of California.
>> It's a dramatic shift compared to previous statements.
>> The Olympic committee thinks is fair, I'm fine with it, yes.
>> Great. >> Yeah, because there's no big advantage.
>> Well, there's, of course, a physical in that case, there was a big physical advantage.
>> Yeah. Well, we're not gonna get into all that kind of stuff
that kind of cuz has nothing to do with- >> My, my, what a turn. The reason is fairly
simplistic. Caitlyn Jenner is running for governor of California. As current elected official Gavin
Newsom is being recalled by ultra conservatives in the state, more on that in a moment.
>> I also wanna acknowledge all the young trans athletes who are out there given the
chance to play sports as who they really are. >> In order to pander, she has shifted to the
current state of Republicanism on trans rights. >> Related comments coming as over 30 states
consider banning trans athletes competing based on identity.
>> It's their latest initiative to try and gain centrist/on the fence voters, it's appalling.
But then again, we're talking about a party that bends the knee to white supremacy.
Fox News continues this relentless assault on an issue that does not exist. Tate Reeves
of Mississippi signed a bill to ban trans athletes from competing in high school sports.
Ron DeSantis, a man who believes running over protestors with a car is fine,
but banning trans youth for participating in sports is the problem. In Arkansas, the
state recently passed a law that prevents trans youth from accessing medical treatment to help
their transition. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a woman hell bent on keeping America white
said she was excited to not include trans kids in sports.
Republican lawmakers in Idaho are doing the same though the ACLU filed a preliminary
Injunction. The lawsuit is still pending. All in all, governors in these states are taking
swift action to solve a problem that does not exist. If this was such a hot issue for Jenner,
why did she not compete in a men's golf tournament in 2016?
Why isn't she living by her own code, weird. >> To play.
>> I'm not allowed to play because I'm transgender. I don't think I deserve to be
discriminated against. I mean, I'm just trying to have fun and find a hobby for me and stay
in shape. Like, I mean, I thought that's what we wanted our kids in America to do.
People are looked at differently because
of what people say they are but not who they are. >> Reality star Jazz Jennings, who is trans,
shared this video above a Ron DeSantis tweet saying he will pass an anti-trans bill.
As of this taping, five states have passed laws or implemented executive orders this year.
Limiting the ability of trans youth to play sports or receive certain medical
treatment. Republicans in at least 25 states have proposed action against the
already disenfranchised community with over 60 bills. Trace Lysette, a trans woman wrote Cait,
this ain't it. When you're on hormones and or blockers there is not an advantage.
I ran track at the club level with college girls and trust me, there is no advantage. I would
have went pro if I was able to run the times I ran before hormones, etc. As you mentioned
previously, Jenner, a Donald Trump supporter, is running for governor. She tapped this guy.
Grifter for Republicans Brad Parscale to aid her California gubernatorial bid. You may
recall Parscale is the mastermind to getting trolled by TikTok kids at Trump's minimally
attended Tulsa rally a total flop. Great minds, they got that Jenner camp. I mean, great minds
