Caitlyn Jenner has just announced her latest career enterprise. The Masked Singer contestant has just signed on as a contributor and commentator for Fox News.
Jenner, 72, will make her first appearance in her new job as a guest on Hannity on March 31. No word on what topics she will comment on.
“Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”

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.
“I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to Fox News Media’s millions of viewers about a range of issues that are important to the American people,” Jenner added.
The announcement of Jenner’s new job at Fox News happens to coincide with the Transgender Day of Visibility. That carries a certain irony: fellow queer rights activists have often criticized Jenner for her lack of understanding of issues facing the community, including her views on transgender rights.
Needless to say, the announcement that Caitlyn Jenner had joined the Fox News family ignited some very strong reactions on Twitter. Have a look at what people are saying…
FIRST they called the 2020 election in AZ early, fired, and then rehired the employee responsible.
THEN they take money from Biden to promote the COVID vaccine.
THEN they enforced vaccine mandate on to their NYC employees.
NOW they’re hiring Caitlyn Jenner.
Fox News is GONE. https://t.co/KlS9eHaNyE

Shouldn’t Caitlyn Jenner be paying Fox not the other way around? https://t.co/9GefXVpuTK

Several Fox News hosts said transgender people shouldn’t be allowed to walk on the face of the earth. A few called them pedophiles. That’s where Caitlyn Jenner chose to go.

Get ready to hear more stupidity from Caitlyn Jenner cuz Fox just hired her.

This is a riddle wrapped in a puzzle surrounded by an enigma (or however that goes) – Fox News hates Trans but they love C Jenner – how does that work? Please explain

Uh oh. Jenner better hope she doesn’t have to pee while she is there.
They will have fits over which bathroom she uses.
Max
snap!
LifeinShaw
Can you imagine them in the bathroom with Tucker or Laura!?!? lol
cuteguy
She can go outside. That’s pretty much how the GQP treats her in real life. As a freak who deserves no respect but she keeps coming back for more
Bosch
What a fascinating social experiment.
Fahd
Fox seems to be interested in using Caitlyn the way in the past circuses used “freak shows” — to bring in the lookie-loos
Degrading to her, which I guess is what attracts her to the job.
Robert Bradley
I’ve tried to make sense if this farce of a person. I’m done…..“Head explodes”
GayEGO
This should be interesting to see what happens, I predict Caitlyn won’t be there long!
jt1990
Interesting, but not overly surprising. All companies have diversity quotas to fill these days; Fox News is no exception. If only Bruce Jenner wasn’t the most famous trans person probably in the world, imagine the pranks they could pull on the new guys!
PubicHairus
I’d love to see you stuck in a bathroom with Caitlyn! I bet you’d come out wearing a big smile on your face! 😉
jt1990
PubicHairus I would love to have her in my bathroom. Need a woman with big strong hands to clean it. I’m not too good with housekeeping! In fact there’s some of you stuck in my drain at the moment
PS I’m actually bald down there. It came from my head. I like to make fun of usernames when I get the chance, my apologies
Cam
No surprise that the same old right wing troll would try to turn FOX News hiring an unqualified person into an attack on the idea of Diversity.
Your trolling is sad and weak.
M K
The gurl will do anything to get a buck$ and a spotlight.
TomG
She has to make money somehow to pay for all the makeup and body upkeep.
scotty
so a turd sandwich hires a giant douche. happens on the repeblican sides just as often as it does on the dems. 8mm slow-mo train wreck in progress.
Mack
FOX must really be desperate. Just another turd in a line-up filled with turds. And “trailblazer”?????????? What the hell has she “trailblazed”?
Polaro
Caitlyn speaking is a 50/50 chance of a disaster. However, she does make for a nice shill for Fox. I bet she will be popular with them and a traffic accident for the rest of us. Regardless, it is just another sign that Fox is on a continual decline into a complete and utter farce.

The only reason you don’t understand Jenner is because you think the heterosexual trans are like the gay trans who have always been part of the LGBT movement.
Masculine heterosexuals who come to transgender identity through cross-dressing after living a life as athletes, military men and fathers have little to do with gays and lesbians politically or psychologically.
Ironically, it’s these AGP trans who are now in charge of what were once LGB organizations and why you never hear the word “transsexual” anymore.
white-queer-african
@inbama. You have have a very interesting viewpoint on the matter and a viewpoint that should seriously be discussed and looked at. My problem with Jenner is that I believe the “reality television” phenomenon took over any rational thinking he had. He somehow became irrelevant and was pushed out by the producers of the Kardashians. There was major issues behind the scenes that we will never hear of. Think Dumph and The Apprentice. I believe that Bruce lived in his own reality and believed by going trans he would still be relevant. A star in his own right. Bigger news than Kim and the rest of the Kardashian clan. Sadly not. Shunned by everyone and now “used” to be on as a freak on Fox
Bosch
Jenner has said she wants a “man who treats her like a woman”.
But you think she was a masculine heterosexual?
inbama
@Bosch
Husband , father for 22 years and Olympic athlete and transitions at age 66 – that fits the masculine hetero AGP profile.
Of course, there may have been men or a desire for them in her past we don’t know about, in which case the ‘wanting a man” may be real. As far as I know, she “dates” her business partner Sophia Hutchins.
@white-queer-african
No disagreement. At this point in life, Jenner is a celebrity at heart and needs attention. But Caitlyn and Bruce have the same politics, the same self-confidence, drive, etc. In her case, transition seems quite superficial.
Bosch
@inbama I’m sure her sexual identity was “heterosexual”, but all identities are inherently inaccurate.
Sexual orientation is a biological configuration, and is not based on behaviour, but on the reaction of the hypothalamus to specific pheromones.
inbama
@Bosch
Agreed. But I would never call sexual orientation an “identity” for the very reasons you cited.

they deserve each other

who knew she was into this? desperation often leads to unwise choices.

Can someone explain what the point of Caitlyn Jenner actually is?
jt1990
Idk, but she does make for some interesting discussions on first dates. Like “are you, and have you always been, a biological cis gendered female?” And “you know, cuz Bruce Jenner” as she walks away leaving you with the bill
Mr. Stadnick
The only trail she blazed was the Kardashian’s house to her private jet hangar. Nothing says trans community more than old white and rich!
sfhairy
I’ve switched baristas!

Yesss!

Someone with no education or experience in politics. A failed political candidate who didn’t even come close to a party’s nomination, let alone winning the office. Not a historian, not a scientist, not an economist. Zero qualifications. Zero qualifications in every topic there is.
This is one reason that people have trouble getting jobs. Even if you work hard for years to build up enough knowledge and skill at something, the job goes to someone who is rich and/or well-connected and/or the loudest person in the room.
jt1990
An elderly neighbor always told me, “it’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know.” He was a top level executive at a few different companies. Never truer words, as I’ve seen with my own eyes. But I only have one issue with his advice. Apparently he used that line with several women who later sued him for sexual harassment. Now I wonder why he told me that?!
winemaker
caitlyn jenner, now there’s one ugly chick, or chuck or whatever.
cuteguy
I guess Hulu didn’t want her much like most of society. She has to scrape the bottom of the barrel by become a freak side show for Faux News. Maybe she enjoys being treated like garbage? After all, she was a garbage father to her kids from her first marriage, karma
Kangol2
Caitlyn Jenner is an interesting example of Peter Turchin’s Cliodynamic theories about elite overproduction and why our society is collapsing. When she was Bruce Jenner, she was eminently qualified to do one thing: succeed as a decathlete. For years, she built on this career, but, once she got rich, she started to think she should be doing all kinds of other things for which she is utterly unqualified: reality TV star; model; political spokesperson; poilitician; and now TV commentator. Seriously, Caitlyn, retire, pack it in, live your best life with your boo, and stay out of the limelight. Far, far out of the limelight if you can help it!
Cam
Caitlyn is FOX News’s new Stacy Dash.
When Obama was president they needed to have a Black person in the mix so she could say the worst things about him and they could claim it wasn’t racist because Dash was saying it.
FOX and Republicans are planning on making attacking trans people one of their big plays for the election, so they need to have a trans person on staff for the same reason.
inbama
True.
But we Democrats need our heads examined for handing them the women’s sports issue. Anyone with two eyes and a working brain whose seen Lia Thomas towering over her female-bodied opponents can see the physical advantages of male puberty.
Terrycloth
Caitlyn has always said marriage was between a man and a woman..he WAS straight as Bruce..after sex change was a lesbian dating women. Then decided to try dating men..she believes in civil unions only..she says dumb stuff and has crazy ideas..I guess when they cut it off she lost her ability to think rationally
