Caitlyn Jenner decided to mark Trans Day of Visibility last week in the worst way possible: by posting a tweet blasting “the Radical Rainbow mafia” and labeling them “domestic terrorists.”
“We live in a beautiful country called America, where we are free to be whomever we want. The Radical Rainbow Mafia has hijacked LGBT ppl and is the worst thing that has ever happened to LGBT ppl! They are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!” she said in a tweet on Thursday.
We live in a beautiful country called America, where we are free to be whomever we want. The Radical Rainbow Mafia has hijacked LGBT ppl and is the worst thing that has ever happened to LGBT ppl! They are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!
It’s unclear what prompted Jenner’s tweet, but the school shooting in Nashville last week has led many on the far-right to blast trans activists as terrorists.
As criticism of Jenner’s words grew, she went on to defend herself, pointing to the so-called “grooming” of children.
I don’t consider grooming children a value. I don’t consider violence to shut down opposition a value. The Radical Rainbow Mafia is dangerous!
Caitlyn Jenner, who knew she was trans at 10 years old, is now railing against information on body dysphoria being available to trans kids.
Jenner’s vehicle accident
In February 2015, Jenner was involved in a vehicle accident in Malibu, California.
Jenner’s Cadillac hit the back of a Lexus driven by Kim Howe, 70. Howe had braked. When Jenner’s car hit Howe’s, it pushed the Lexus into the path of another car approaching on the other side of the road. This led to a head-on collision. Howe was pronounced dead at the scene.
Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said Jenner was below the speed limit and engaged her brakes before the collision. It therefore brought no charges against her. However, Jenner later settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Howe’s family for an undisclosed sum.
Del Rio was not the only person to bring up Jenner’s involvement in someone else’s death.
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Michael and Kerry. This is a free country. Please do not forget that. We are free to become and change and yes, even get new names if we so choose. Yes, Jenner is a creep and a half. But don’t mix things up too much—-your little brains can’t handle such a complex issue, as is evident. You run the risk of sounding like assholes yourselves.
We can read between the lines. We know where you stand. You are intolerant bigots. It may be time for you both to change your acts AND names!
She is attacking all of us. and if that doesn’t piss you off I think you are a troll. She is so Fd up it took her two marriages and.decades to even admit to her sexuality or identity or whatever SHE THINKS she has done. She THOUGHT she was going to be made our leader beach of her egotistical entitled white man BS. I never. believed her or him or whatever they are comfortable with because they are a FU***G mess and always will be. I and my group of wonderful kids compassionate cis men, cis women, gay men and lesbians with yes a few trans women have never been nor ever be terrorist and I am sick of this POS messy thing attacking. us for whatever reason – she not only doesn’t speak for us she is NOT a part of us – she is STILL THE ENTITLED (straight) white man she always was
I am lifelong gay man in my 60s who has seen it all, Ive been bullied since grade school so KNOW a terrorist when I see one and this fake trans woman who is still in their mind and entitled. straight white man who is so F’d up she turned on us. We would have welcomed them into our loving happy society but he came in demanding to lead because he had money HE is a saint POS and I have NO RESPECT FOR THIS PERSON ON ANY LEVEL.
What wrong with that spoiled rich trans woman she has insulted everyone after her transition and before, go back to show when Kris hired a gay fashion dresser for Bruce he acted homophobic with the guy like he never been around gay people
Caitlin is into women – just like Bruce.
Caitlin is a privileged and right-leaning Republican – just like Bruce.
What led so many of us to imagine transition would change the core of her being?
I learned two things after reading this article and the comments. 1. Caitlyn Jenner is the only trans woman who we don’t believe 100% of the time. 2. It’s ok to “dead name” someone if you don’t agree with them. These rules are getting harder to follow.
Don’t let it bother you to much. Look at it the way Bianca did when she commented on a fight between two drag queens a few years ago: “Get me some popcorn, I love a good clown fight!”
1. We believe people about what they say their gender identity is (unless they’re clearly making stuff up to sneer at people). Believing someone about their gender identity doesn’t mean that you agree with everything else they say.
2. This is part of a larger question about whether it’s OK to be rude or insulting to someone when you don’t agree with them. Lots of us don’t think it is, and won’t deadname Caitlyn.
Thanks Dr Sarah. Can you let me know what I have to look out for if someone is “clearly making stuff up to sneer people”? I want to make sure I can spot it.
Once again, a paid for quisling is trotted out to blame the queer community for gun violence, when it is OVERWHELMINGLY cishet, white, conservative, “Christian” men who commit mass shootings and lean on violence to make political points.
It was cishet white men who were caught on camera trying to discredit the BLM marches through acts of vandalism and violence.
It is cishet white men who keep bringing up anti-queer laws, anti-women laws, anti-everyone-but-white-men laws.
Their blatant hypocrisy and hatred is on full display…and it’s incredibly sad when we see minorities and members of disenfranchised communities accept payment to speak out against their own.
But Mammon is the only god worshipped in America, anyway, so…
The Enduring False Narrative About the PULSE Massacre Shows the Power of Media Propaganda
Politicians and activists should stop ratifying the fiction that Omar Mateen was motivated by anti-LGBT hatred. It dishonors the victims and obscures the real motive.
abfab- I’m not going to entertain your total BS this time asshole. If need be I will post his entire 911 call from the club claiming his reason for being there and it wasn’t because he was an upset, cis het Christian white boy.
Phone call from Mateen from the PULSE nightclub Sunday June 12th, 2016. The time 2:35 a.m.
911 OPERATOR: 911. This call is being
recorded.
SUSPECT: This is Mateen (speaking in
another language). I want to let you know I’m in
Orlando and I did the shooting.
911 OPERATOR: What’s your name?
SUSPECT: My name is I Pledge of Allegiance
to (unidentifiable name) of the Islamic State.
911 OPERATOR: Okay. What’s your name?
SUSPECT: I pledge my allegiance to
(unidentifiable name) on behalf of the Islamic
State.
911 OPERATOR: Where are you at?
SUSPECT: In Orlando.
911 OPERATOR: Where in Orlando?….
Need more numbnuts?
Seriously, You’re the reason the gene pool needs a lifeguard.
Shouldn’t you be on safari? The 911 call is your first mistake in pushing back on the facts. Hang it up. There’s so much more and I’m done. Gene pool life guard? You’re common and provincial. Josh from Oregon was right…..your response to him was pointless. As are your comments. Just stop.
Mateen swore allegiance to the Islamic State, specifically the man who had been in charge of that branch of ISIS who’s main purpose was the execution of homosexuals. (that man was assassinated)
From the AP, December 2, 2015: Before a crowd of men on a street in the Syrian city of Palmyra, the masked Islamic State judge read out the sentence against the two men convicted of homosexuality: They would be thrown to their deaths from the roof of the nearby Wael Hotel.
He asked one of the men if he was satisfied with the sentence. Death, the judge told him, would help cleanse him of his sin.
“I’d prefer it if you shoot me in the head,” 32-year-old Hawas Mallah replied helplessly. The second man, 21-year-old Mohammed Salameh, pleaded for a chance to repent, promising never to have sex with a man again, according to a witness among the onlookers that sunny July morning who gave The Associated Press a rare firsthand account.
“Take them and throw them off,” the judge ordered. Other masked extremists tied the men’s hands behind their backs and blindfolded them. They led them to the roof of the four-story hotel, according to the witness, who spoke in the Turkish city of Reyhanli on condition he be identified only by his first name, Omar, for fear of reprisals.
Notorious for their gruesome methods of killing, the Islamic State reserves one of its most brutal for suspected homosexuals. Videos it has released show masked militants dangling men over the precipices of buildings by their legs to drop them head-first or tossing them over the edge. At least 36 men in Syria and Iraq have been killed by IS militants on charges of sodomy, according to the New York-based OutRight Action International
Mateen chose PULSE. He staked it out as well as other gay venue’s during that time. All part of the FBI file on the case.
I can see why you would want me to be silent, I keep making you look like more of an idiot than you all ready do, all on your own.
A fake? He ended up at Pulse because Disney was a hardened target and his first choice. He wanted a super large mass casualty and it didn’t matter who they would be, as long as they were Americans.
On June 12, 2016, Mateen spent just over three hours in PULSE from the time he began slaughtering innocent people at roughly 2:00 a.m. until he was killed by a SWAT team at roughly 5:00 a.m. During that time, he repeatedly spoke to his captives about his motive, did the same with the police with whom he was negotiating, and discussed his cause with local media which he had called from inside the club. Mateen was remarkably consistent in what he said about his motivation. Over and over, he emphasized that his attack at PULSE was in retaliation for U.S. bombing campaigns in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. In his first call with 911 while inside PULSE, this is what he said about why he was killing people:
Because you have to tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq. They are killing a lot of innocent people. What am I to do here when my people are getting killed over there. … You need to stop the U.S. airstrikes. They need to stop the U.S. airstrikes, OK? . … This went down, a lot of innocent women and children are getting killed in Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan, OK? … The airstrikes need to stop and stop collaborating with Russia. OK?
In the hours he spent surrounded by the gay people he was murdering, he never once uttered a homophobic syllable, instead always emphasizing his geo-political motive. Not a single survivor reported him saying anything derogatory about LGBTs or even anything that suggested he knew he was in a gay club. All said he spoke extensively about his vengeance on behalf of ISIS against U.S. bombing of innocent Muslims.
Mateen’s postings on Facebook leading up to his attack all reflected the same motive. They were filled with rage about and vows of retaliation against U.S. bombing. Not a single post contained any references to LGBTs let alone anger or violence toward them. “You kill innocent women and children by doing U.S. airstrikes,” Mateen wrote on Facebook in one of his last posts before attacking PULSE, adding: “Now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”
YOU ARE A TROLL AND WE ALL KNOW IT. NO ONE IS PURE IDEALOGICALLY 100% and I feel no sense of hypocrisy for. despising Cait or whatever name that entitled rich white guy cuz that person. may have alternated their body but is still as I state an entitled rich bigot who thought we in the gay community would want such a mess as our leader and when we thought just maybe he had some dues to. pay first acted like every other cis white entitled male pos and attacks us over and over, NO he is not gay he is not trans he isa pos who we all should shun. AND in the mind of most of us he isn’t worth wasting a single moment on and you also

I think your problem is that you’re strawmanning.
1. We believe people about what they say their gender identity is (unless they’re clearly making stuff up to sneer at people). Believing someone about their gender identity doesn’t mean that you agree with everything else they say.
2. This is part of a larger question about whether it’s OK to be rude or insulting to someone when you don’t agree with them. Lots of us don’t think it is, and won’t deadname Caitlyn.

I am so relieved to learn that the Islamist who murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida wasn’t homophobic.
Perhaps we should add the Iran’s “Allah” symbol to the Progress Flag.
OhHellNo
I think maybe Caitlyn is regretting this transition thing and taking it out on everybody else.
And I’m sure she’s jealous that Bianco del Rio is more of a woman than she will ever be.
