Caitlyn Jenner railed against Jimmy Kimmel on Twitter over the weekend, accusing the late night comedian of being transphobic after he compared her to Donald Trump. Unfortunately for her, nobody else seemed to see it that way.
Quick backstory: Last week, Kimmel cracked a joke about the California gubernatorial candidate’s widely panned appearance on The View, saying, “Are you sure that isn’t Donald Trump in a Caitlyn Jenner wig?”
During the appearance, Jenner likened herself to Trump, calling him a “disrupter” and saying, “I want to do the same thing.” She also refused to say whether he lost the 2020 election.
After Kimmel’s comment, Jenner wasted no time voicing her outrage on Twitter, writing: “Last night @jimmykimmel called me Donald Trump with a wig. He obviously believes that trans women are simply men with wigs on. Where is the outrage from the left or LGBT community? Being WOKE must be optional if you are a Democrat.”
How about we take this to the next level?

LGBTQ Nation reports:
Kimmel showed some side-by-side pictures of Jenner’s and Trump’s facial expressions when he joked about how Jenner is Trump in “a Caitlyn Jenner wig.”
During the monologue, Kimmel referred to Jenner by her deadname. Jenner did not mention that on Twitter – she has previously said that she does not care about being deadnamed because even her mother misgenders her sometimes.
He also joked about Jenner’s lack of qualifications: “Caitlyn Jenner has a better chance of being the next Batman than she does the governor of California.”
But if Jenner thought playing the victim and bashing Democrats would somehow help win her favor among LGBTQ people, she can think again.
Here’s how people responded to her feigned outrage…
Caitlin, bish, you need to fuck all the way off. There is no one as transphobic as Donald Trump. You can’t even admit that the dumb sonofabitch lost the election. #ZeroQualificationsToBeGov

Anyone that doesn’t support same sex marriage has no business speaking about the topic of fairness in the LGBT community honey.
— Ben Ferguson (@torontoben) June 11, 2021
Jimmy was actually talking about your politics and who they align with… and you’re proving him right cuz just like Donald… you’re playing the victim, girl.

“Where is the outrage from the communities I’m literally campaigning against 🤔🤔”

If you gave two shits about the trans community you’d stop trying to create fights with talk show hosts and actually do some fucking work that benefits trans people. pic.twitter.com/y5OeoTYRzs

I think its funny Caitlyn is playing the misrepresented trans card after she totally sold out the LGBTQ community to put Trump in office. There is no way she didn’t know exactly what Trump’s stance was. No way she doesn’t know where most republicans stand.
— readgold2000 (@readgold2000) June 13, 2021
Lmfao that’s not what he meant and you know it, and your attempt at feigned indignation is freaking hilarious. If you can’t handle what Kimmel said you don’t have the temperament for this job.

Now you want to invoke the Trans and LGBTQ community after you’ve sold them out. It’s all about the Benjamin’s for you Caitlyn. Back to the D list with you
— Jacquie (@MTorganizer) June 11, 2021
If you weren’t such a disgrace to the trans community I’m certain they would have your back. But you are you, and we don’t fuck with you. Simple.
— Alexander the Great 👑 (@Aluhhhhhhxander) June 11, 2021
He was talking about your politics and you know it. Nobody is buying what you’re selling.

In addition to being a staunch Trump supporter, even after acknowledging he’s “the worst president we’ve ever had” when when it comes to LGBTQ rights, Jenner believes that “biological boys should not be allowed to participate in girls sports” and says it was easier to come out as trans than it was to come out as a Republican.

Caitlyn Jenner went in front of a group of Trans people, who were homeless, who’d been kicked out of their homes by parents, others who’d been fired, arrested, beaten etc, and said that the toughest part about being trans was finding clothes.
If it isn’t about Caitlen, she isn’t interested.
winemaker
Anyone’s better than 3 more years of gavvy ‘giveaway the store and just about everything else for free’ newsom . California can’t take any more of his destructive policies and higher taxes that’re used top fulfill his BS fantasies that don’t benefit anyone… if you don’t believe what this clown is capable of, take a look and smell at San Francisco, the one time jewel of California that’s now the new doo doo capital of the USA. And to top things off, he’s hell bent to do the same to the rest of California all while bankrupting the citizens and sending businesses ( that employ thousands of Californian’s here) out of state..
Mack
Winemaker, he’s better than anything the party of hate can put out. Go move to Texas or Alabama since you dislike Newsome so much, that would be more your speed. They serve hate daily there.
Chrisk
winemaker
If you hate San Francisco so much why don’t you get off your ass and just move. Worked for me.
Something gives me the feeling you’d find things to bitch about no matter what though.
msfrost
She is self-hating Transwoman!
LumpyPillows
@cam spot on about Caitlyn’s self-centered PR stunt.
Kangol2
You nailed it, Cam. This trans narcissist cares only about herself and rich, White transwomen like herself. She’d be an utter disaster as governor or any elected position, except head of a condo association for people of her wealth. She makes Newsom look like a savior by comparison!
Hdtex
DAMN! That is one ugly dude!
In future, please preface with a trigger warning….
LumpyPillows
I dislike Caitlyn’s self centered elitism, but you really shouldn’t be transphobic, it hurts more than Caitlyn.
Bengali
Caitlyn is ugly outside but even more ugly on the inside. she’s a self-entitled, self-serving piece of turd. She wants to take California taxes from speed rail and divert them to finish racist and stupid border wall. She still supports GOP despite them laughing at her trans and other platforms. She was not win her race for governor.
cuteguy
@Hdtex omg that was hilarious lmfao
msfrost
Kaitlyn, is a woman.Dufus!
Fahd
Personally glad she gets insulted at every turn. I agree with the psychological analysis of someone who had watched her over years of reality tv (admittedly armchair analysis) that she is an emotional masochist who gets off on all the negative attention. I haven’t a clue how she monetizes it, but I guess that’s why I’m not rich. As Newsom’s campaign asserts, she’s the gift that keeps on giving. May it continue so….
LumpyPillows
She is a terrible person. Because of that there has been some transphobia lobbed her way on this very site. Just because you don’t like a person, it isn’t an excuse to be hateful.
johnk8
I agree. But it’s hard not to hate Caitlyn based off of what we read here. I used to believe she wasn’t an ally based off of what I saw here on Queerty. It wasn’t till a friend showed me her campaign website with its well thought out opinion transgendered sports that I realized she wasn’t against us. She just had a different view as a Olympian that transitioned later in life. But I didn’t know that opinion until I read it myself, because people kept up falsely claiming she was 100 percent against trans athletes.
Bengali
She is pure entitled trash. Don’t hesitate to go on her instagram page and call her BruceLyn. I’ve heard she really hates that. It doesn’t deserve validation for being transgender. It doesn’t deserve compassion. It milks it. It is out of touch with our great state. Maybe Circus Vargas will come back and they can add IT to the show.
She’s at the bottom of the polls. And the recall won’t happen. Newsom’s not been perfect but he’s certainly done an incredible job, despite a few missteps. Yes, French Laundry was idiotic. But he’s mostly been in step with California and the American people. The pandemic was new territory for all. Most city, state and national leaders had to learn as they went. Those who made it most difficult were the pandemic deniers from Diaper Filling Trump all the way down the @GOP chain of command who lied to the American people, whereby the most gullible took the bait.
Please don’t fall for the recall. It’s been orchestrated by GOP. Don’t let GOP get more power in California. Huge mistake for all of us.
And reminder: BruceLyn Jenner. Or better – call IT BruceLyn Kardashian because that’s where it got its fame long after the Olympics and being on a Wheaties box.
Kangol2
What’s up with all the misgendering and deadnaming? It’s akin to homophobia and anti-gay rhetoric, and you’re doing it on a LGBTQ site. You can disagree with and criticize Caitlin Jenner without all of this transphobic vitriol, you know? She and her record are appalling enough that attacking her trans status and mocking it aren’t necessary.
BoomerMyles
BruceLyn KarCrashian.
Terrycloth
Caitlyn Car Carcrashian. You turned off trans people the rest of lgbtq+. You ARE.Donald Trump in a dress..you will do excatly what the republican party tells you to…
Doug
Where’s the video?
JRamonMc
Quite frankly I think Caitlyn does more to create transphobia then anyone.
JB
Or even THAN anyone.
msfrost
I concur!
cuteguy
I’m not for transophobia but for someone who has trashed her own community by aligning with the devil, gurl bye.
butchqueen
She can f@ck all the way off.
Jessie Nice
So because Caitlyn is a transgender republican who’s running for governor in a massive far-left trash filled, failing state, she has to be subjected to a massive amount of hate by ugly democRATS gays who think that gays can’t be transphobic because they support or have trans friends/family?? Queerty is another far-left liberal propaganda magazine who supposedly supports those who are “different and loving”
caboxerguy
Failing State? That is hysterical. Aren’t you late for your Klan meeting??
barryaksarben
lol good joke. LOVING ? after all the hate you just spewed before it? really really funny. FOR A stupid simple minded troll. California is so much more successful than all those failed red southern states who year after year after year must suck welfare money from states like California just to keep from having their redneck populace from starving to death or killing themselves with meth. yes, your pathetic attempt at coming to this site to troll educated smart gay men. You arent worthy dear. and you are not nice jesse you are just sad. Go back to your trump sites where your grade school logic level will get ooohs and ahhs cuz we dont take you seriously. POOR THING
cuteguy
@Jessie Lice
Why are you on this site and even have the audacity to comment on here. Take ur hate where it belongs, on a Fox News site or KKK site, all the same. You are complete trash and pls take a dirt nap. The dirt could use the fertilizer
Mack
You’re a joke right? Sure do sound like it.
mailliw110
I’m so sorry for you. Here you are on a gay news site and you don’t even know where you are!
CNY1983
I doubt the cyber-ninja’s would even take her call.
Den
Let’s not forget she is the same person she was before transitioning.
So she is neither particularly bright, nor empathetic.
And she seems to think she can drag male privilege and past, passed athletic fame with her into womanhood.
She ends up clueless and pathetic.
wiggie
17 republicans entered the race against Newsom and right wing media only talks about Jenner. It’s like they WANT Newsom to win
Essie
“It’s like they WANT Newsom to win.”
I think you might have something there.
mailliw110
It must be a conspiracy. They did the same thing with Trump, five years ago. So, you might have something there.
Kangol2
Could it be that the Republicans running are lackluster and the corporate media love anyone who garners attention and page clicks, no matter how incompetent, thus the wall-to-wall coverage of Caitlin Jenner (just like they did with the incompetent treasonous psychopath Don the Con)? I mean, this article on Queerty has provoked far more responses than others focusing on LGBTQ people doing positive things in the world. The news media recognize this and proceed accordingly.
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Very interesting that queerty will allow comments about caitlyn jenner a trans woman because she’ll be criticized and mocked yet no comments on any other trans stories no bias there
Den
Good God, you really cannot tell the difference between your imagination and reality, can you?
You always tell AbsoluteLIES, and seem to want to be laughed at.
But that is the case with so many of you intellectually challenged right wingers.
mailliw110
Best run-on sentence by far today!
Mark
Catlyn is proof that Trans people are like everyone else. They can be self-centered assholes too.
amanwithanedge
she nasty.
AxelDC
Jenner: I went to a viper conference and I got bit!
Everyone else: what did you expect?
tommyboy5023
The problem with Catlyn is not her Transness. Its her Kardashian-ness. The entire family and anyone associated with them are famewhores. Cant we just ignore them at least a couple of weeks every month?
Openminded
Very good idea. At a minimum, every other month should be “NOT Kardashian Month”
barryaksarben
being a disrupter means NOTHING if you have no plan to rebuild and we know trump and MS jenner do not have any interest in building anything. ALl they have been able to do is destroy. Jenner destroyed his TWO families and Trump tried to destroy the country.
Lurker2
*her
Lurker2
Destroyed her whole family. FIFY
nm4047
Hasn’t that excuse for entertainment Meet the Kardashians ended, is this just and out take from the scripted rubbish of that show. As a gay man & like the VAST majority of gay men, I find it questionable why this person is given any coverage under the alphabet of the community. Most gay mend struggle to accept lesbians as part of the community, so throwing a reality TV show person in the mix brings up a whole lot of debate.
Max
LOL, Caitlyn thinks she’s friends with Whoopi.
Mr. Stadnick
Caitlyn needs to get off her cross! She lives for attention and gets off on negative attention. No one could be a worse candidate for California governor.
Heywood Jablowme
I’m sure the Republicans will find someone even worse than Caitlyn to nominate in the regular election for governor next year! Unlike this recall, regular elections have primaries and the R’s are magnetically attracted to whoever is the dumbest Trumpanzee.
rbernard
Caitlyn Jenner needs to quit complaining and realize it is more likely that she will reappear on a box of Wheaties again than ever be elected as California’s next governor.
That is not being anti trans, that is called being realistic.
BoomerMyles
BruceLyn plays the trans victim card yet on the View says she’s against trans girls competing in women’s sports because it’s such a small part of the population.
Johnny
calling her Brucelyn is transphobic.
Johnny
She is an arsehole not because she is trans, she is just an arsehole.
