Say it with me: IT WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT THE SPORTS. The focus on sports was always just a gateway, and then suddenly, this so-called "apologist" for trans culture shows up saying, "Gee, maybe the Republicans have a point here." A millionaire athlete and a Republican, with all the clout and privilege to represent their community, decided to use their platform in ways that ultimately did nothing positive for the trans community. Let’s be real Caitlyn Jenner's contributions have always been about flaunting privilege, and even before the sports debate, her takes on transitioning and her public appearances reeked of tone-deafness and exclusion.
