Caitlyn Jenner is finding her footing as Fox News’ newest contributor, and wasting no time alienating herself even further from the LGBTQ community.
“As you might know I am trans, but I’m not a trans activist,” Jenner told host Sean Hannity last week. “That’s just one part of my life. There’s so much more to me.”
She added: “In the midterms coming up, LGBT issues are going to be very big issues and I’m looking forward to covering those, but there’s so much more to me than that.” Among the “so much more to me” category is being a patriot, she noted.
Hannity went on to bring up Florida’s House Bill 1557, which Republican Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed into law, that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. Critics have dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and argue its vague language gives parents the ability to keep any mention of LGBTQ existence out of the classroom.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Hannity said parents should be able to “opt their kids” into “woke classes after school,” as if that’s a thing, but that teachers should focus on “the basics first.”
Jenner agreed. “I’m a common sense person and that’s what you call common sense. I am all for parental rights.”
And yesterday, Jenner appeared on sister station Fox Business, telling host Stuart Varney: “I’m a big supporter of Ron DeSantis and what he’s doing. I’m a parent. I have a very large family, raised a very large family, lotta grandkids. And I have been in control of my children’s destiny and what they’re going to learn in school, not some math teacher teaching my kids about gender identity. I can teach those lessons.”

The comments haven’t gone over well:

This just seriously made me gag! What a sad excuse of a human being! It just shows that there isn’t a shred of decency left in the GOP. Absolutely none 🤢🤮

Oh God. She certainly knows what she is getting paid for. 😕

She’s going to be as successful as Sarah Huckabee was as a fox “contributor.”
— Tura Satana Fan Club CEO (@UncleArthur3) April 6, 2022
Caitlyn said in her coming-out interview with Diane Sawyer that she knew she was trans when she was 8 years old. Imagine if she’d been told that was ok instead of something she had to hide her whole life (not linking because of misgendering/deadnaming).
— Ari Drennen (@AriDrennen) April 6, 2022
It isn’t one bit surprising that Fox News hired Caitlyn Jenner as a commentator. This is always where she was headed. She doesn’t care about other trans people and will say and do anything to invalidate the rest of us for her own benefit and Fox News is happy to make that deal.

Caitlyn Jenner has been hired by Fox News.
Will they force her to use the men’s bathroom?
Because that’s what Tucker/Hannity/Ingraham want.
— Brian O’Sullivan (@osullivanauthor) March 31, 2022
Fox said let us hire the most famous, privileged, republican transgender we know to show them we aren’t transphobic.

I spent 13 years (kindergarten through high school) in Catholic schools and I can tell you FOR A FACT nothing positive was ever said there about homosexuality. Also I never heard anything positive about being gay at home as my dad is 110% behind the Catholic Church’s anti-gay attitudes. So is it any wonder that at almost 43 I’m still trying to figure this whole gay thing out?
PubicHairus
Well, more power to you for overcoming that bullsh*t!

And yet not a single one of these clowns can point to a singular instance where any teacher ever “groomed” any child to be gay or trans. Nor can any of these people passing these anti-trans laws point to a singular sporting event where other athletes felt disparaged by a trans person participating.
Utah’s *Republican* Gov Spencer Cox said it the best when he vetoed his own state’s anti-trans bill which sadly was overridden: “Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few.”
Den
Since when does the far right need actual facts to support their beliefs and opinions? Since when have they cared about the truth in any way? Just look at the posts from right wingers on this site.
Polaro
Well that isn’t actually true. There have been instances where teachers and school officials have encouraged gender alternatives to children. It was even featured in the TV show “And Just Like That”. The right likes to call it grooming, which is not true, but they have their lies. There are instances of teachers and administrators trying to be supportive, and possibly going too far. Also there have been several notable instances of female athletes complaining about competing against trans athletes, Lia Thomas in particular. Google is your friend.
I do not support the bill. I do support the truth, even when it is inconvenient.
I will agree with the quote: “Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few.”
Jaquelope
@Polaro: I n Lia’s case, I think, that that her competitor’s complaints have more to do with her actually beating them than her gender identity.
DuMaurier
It hardly needs to be said this is not an “anti-grooming” bill. That’s a catchphrase DeSantis is hoping will catch on and define the law. It’s also a self-own; is he saying “grooming” was tolerated before the bill was passed? I don’t think so; obviously there isn’t a school district in the whole country where sexual manipulation of students is legal; if it’s been going on in Florida up to this point I’d say someone hasn’t been doing his job.
PubicHairus
I’m convinced we’re watching performance art, much like the “folks” who share the infinite wisdom of the right in the comments section on this site. And my beliefs are so set and stuck that you can’t convince me otherwise!
jt1990
That was my goal from the beginning, to change minds for the better! But my time here is coming to an end. It appears most of you guys are totally set in your ways, as you are. On the plus side, some of the commenters here give me a slight ray of hope on occasion!

Jenner doesn’t want math teachers teaching kids about gender identity. more oral diarrhea from a so-called-trans person that doesn’t even want to support trans community. not so sure any common sense is present if Jennfer accepted work for a network that spews daily lies.
Gadfeal
Unfortunately, most parents themselves have been “indoctrinated” as children, and they don’t even know it. The idea of forcing malleable minds to systematically swear when even the court system won’t consider that “minors” are capable of comprehending such concepts IS INDOCTRINATION. In addition, the forcible induction of any minor into a belief system, such as religion or Communism or racism, IS INDOCTRINATION.
As a gay child, I have suffered the daily psychological trauma of being told by religion, society and law that I was “wrong”, “bad”, “ill”, “depraved”… All I could do was grow up intellectually very fast, and then plot my escape from my then oppressive community.
However, a lifetime of daily trauma – when the mind is at first unable to intellectually process the inexplicable, unjust inhumanity of being told one thing, but feeling another, led me, and many others of my generation, to a life of PTSD.
It was only in my 40s that I realized that my gnawing self-destructive internalized homophobia had to be considered as cult indoctrination, and I had to be deprogrammed; a process that would take at least as long as one’s childhood i.e. decades.

Excellent response, Gadfeal.

Same ole Bruce Different day. He’s always saying something should we be surprised

Misgendering a person because you do not agree with them is counter productive to the cause.

Yea, which bathroom will she be allowed to use ? !

My guess is they’ll make a special one just for her because of being afraid the trans might rub off on them.

CJ, one of the most horrible persons ever.
Hitler, Dumph, Putin and CJ! I can carry on.
Do we even know for certain that the bitch went thru a conversion? Even if we did, Bruce / Caitlyn / It is a MONSTER that battles to balance on it’s high heals.
Jaquelope
And never styles her hair. She also seems to have a sour look on her mug constantly.
mcflyer54
Jenner must be really desperate for money to accept work at a place where she knows she is hated. What a pathetic human being.
tmbrdly
I don’t think she knows how much fox hates her kind. She thinks because she is conservative that they accept her and want to be around her. She is THAT deluded.
Josh in OR
She’s willing to put up with the hate if it helps her maintain her tax bracket and wealth.
Her wealth, fame, and temporal holdings are more important than making the world better for people like her.
Typical Republican.
Polaro
Two things drive her: attention and money. This hits both her g-spots.
Spunk Junkie
Geez, all those operations she’s had and she couldn’t have included installing a working brain in one of them? Where are her priorities?
Jack
I would never mis-gender any trans person for any legitimate reason. But if this hag wants to behave like Bruce in drag, then she is forever more Bruce in drag to me. Enough is enough with this idiot.
white-queer-african
Agreed. I still see it as Bruce in drag. And what a hideous drag. An insult to beautiful drag queens.
Polaro
Misgendering someone because you don’t like them is not the right answer. That would mean right wingers misgendering people they do not like is fair game also. I prefer not to go down that root. What I learned a long time ago is that terrible people come in all shapes, size, colors and genders. If you respect gender, respect it.
Terrycloth
Even as Bruce he never had anything constructive to say…now with a part missing how can she think ? She could of become and ally someone lgbtq and Trans persons to look up to..now all they do is laugh or change the channel before she opens her mouth…not many.like her…who want to live that way
Mack
It amazes me how she is so anti-trans when it comes to women’s sports YET she participates in Women Golfing League as well as Women Golfing Tournaments. Guess the laws she wants shouldn’t have to apply to her.
And Democrats had better get up off their asses this election because the right wing hate group, known as the Republican Party, is going to press more and more anti-LGBTQ laws.
CNY1983
shes a tool, we can all see that. fox sucks no question about it. republicans suck even worse.
Why we talking about that fool?

She is just pathetic

Im gay, & a Moderate!!
Parents expect teachers to teach and raise their kids!!
Not the teachers job!! A parents job!!
I cn see a teacher helping a kid navigate bng gay!! Def!! And not tl th parent, unless th parent asks!!
Trans issues, r between th student and parent and perhaps a trained professional at school!!
Leave th teacher out of it!!
A kid cn gt away wth, and whn necc SHLD, from telling their parents they r gay!!
But, trans issues, U MUST, invlve th parent!!
And i dnt c the prblm wth schools thru 3rd grade not bng able to discuss it!!
Trans issues, Yes!!
Gay issues, kids shld ALWAYS, no matter WHAT AGE, b able to disscuss those issues openly!!
I wld NEVER, vote for desantis!!
While a teacher can personally discuss gay issues,
Teachers r not trained, nor shld they b burdened wth having the weight of helping someone decide if they shld change their birth sex!! Teachers didnt go to school to handle health professional issues!!
Sex education teachers, perhaps!!
Polaro
Parents usually do not teach their children about these issues, and many are not informed enough to deal with an LGBT child. So, the schools should have a role, but it needed to be professional and careful. That’s my opinion.
Jimsie
Caitlyn Jenner. (Long sigh.) Not an individual whom one would call a “bright” person. Jenner’s political party of choice has thrown her to the wolves; she comes crawling back, gets up on two legs and does a Steppinfetchit. Jenner and Taylor Greene have a great deal in common. Both claim to be women, but their credentials lack portfolio as well as integrity. (Another long sigh.) They belong together and ought to consider taking their act on tour. Unfortunately, singly and in tandem, they’re as obsolete as vaudeville.
Polaro
Wow, Caitlyn could have given a more balanced and nuanced view on this issue, and instead chose to stick her head in the mud. She added nothing to the discussion.
Polaro
Caitlyn is a train wreck, but Hitler? I find a daquiri helps tremendously when I’m hysterical.
mgconlan
It’s the same old story bigots use to justify their prejudices: “I’m not prejudiced against _____, Some of my best friends are _____.” Putting Caitlyn Jenner on Fox News, where she knows all too well the party line she’s expected to spew, is the Fox people saying, “We’re not preludiced against Trans people. We’ve even hired one.” And BTW, I’m not going to rag on Caitlyn Jenner’s appearance except to say that she’s a good advertisement for the idea that the younger you are when you transition, the better you’re going to look.
Fahd
Throughout history there have always been individual members of oppressed groups who sided with the oppressors for survival, profit and self-advancement (see, for example, Clarence Thomas). These individuals are not to be respected.
Since day one, Caitlyn has been telling the oppressors what they want to hear, and she still only received one (1) percent of the vote in the California governor’s election. She’s a circus sideshow at Fox intended to get out the Fox viewer vote in November (they’ll be voting against her and her kind). Like most circus sideshows that can’t draw much of an audience, she’ll be replaced soon – maybe by “Gini” Thomas.

Little reality to throw on ur parade!!
I am a moderate, used to for perhaps 60yrs progressive/liberal
Wth their social bullshit as well as hypocritical, preachy condensendingness, they r worse than th asshole right-wingers!!
BUT, tht said, caitlyn and hers, WILL B THE BIG WINNERS IN NOV
THE ONLY SAVING GRACE:
ITLL B CLOSE TO A DEATH-NELL FOR TH PROGRESSIVES!!
Both parties suck
The progressives are a menance to th dem party, like th rigjt-wing r to th repubs!!

I’m just saying, Why does Caitlyn Genderless always look like she is sniffing someone’s used tampon?
I am so pleased that she takes credit for the direction her sons have taken…Does anyone else remember her two Princes of Malibu? Nothing to brag about. Caitlyn should have gone for the big snip long before unleashing her spawn on the world!

I liked her better in “Can’t Stop The Music.”

I hope she ends up in the bathroom with Laura Ingraham.
