Caitlyn Jenner is lying

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

that even if they elect a republican governor, with the make-up of the California legislature, that republican governor will not be able to get anything done. Nothing, unless the Democrats are okay with it.

Doesn't matter until it affects me....and then doesn't matter if I wasn't affected personally.

I have pretty much zero understanding of transgender. I have a hard time even understanding gay and lesbian; but I do know we are all equal and deserve love and respect.

I have had gay friends, and I'm ashamed of how I responded when I was young. I also feel shame for how I respected some girls I had relationships with. Wish I could turn back time...but that doesn't work....ever. I have family who are gay, and I accept their sexuality the same as I accept my own.

But to me, jenner pollutes the subject with the ugly politics and character. Would be the same reaction if jenner were straight. I don't care two cents what this stooge has to say about anything.
