“You were an exceptional athlete. You’re not an exceptional politician. [Politics] takes a ton of skill and institutional knowledge. Those people are talented politicians. I think people need to think of it that way. They actually have a talent for doing the politicking. I love talking about politics from my perspective, from my lane. I honestly think It’s become too much of a popularity [contest]. I probably could be a representative of some kind, win a district here or there, but am I really the best person to be doing that? Maybe I can just talk about the person who is actually the best person to be doing that. Unless it’s the president, and then probably, I’ll just do it.”–US soccer star Megan Rapinoe, slamming Caitlyn Jenner as unqualified to run for California Governor. In the same interview with Fubo Sports, Rapinoe hinted that she one day may pursue a political career of her own.

It should be OK to deadname Bruce Jenner going forward.
otttovan
Nah. Deadnaming people, even despicable ones, is a shitty thing to do. It basically gives an excuse for shitty people to deadname those they disagree with. It’s not like Caitlyn doesn’t have a laundry list of things we can call her out on instead
LumpyPillows
Nope, that would be mean, nasty and rude.
Harley
San we use “It” as a pronoun?
Cam
Jenner is shockingly out of touch. Comes from being a famous and rich celebrity for decades who never had to do anything for themselves.

Newsom’s campaign people are apparently calling the entitled brat Jenner’s running for governor the gift that keeps on giving. I hope it works out that way.
Heywood Jablowme
Newsom probably has little to worry about. It’s not like 2003, that’s for sure.
Manrico Jimenez
I would totally love to campaign for a future Megan Rapinoe candidacy. Perhaps when Patty Murray or Maria Cantwell retire as US senators.

Deadnaming a trans person or referring to them as “it” is reprehensible, even if they are a shallow, self-centered, and otherwise disgusting human beings.
Out of basic decency we should use people’s preferred pronouns, which in Jenner’s case are me/me/me.
Derek Northcutt
Ha! Well said!
Cam
me/me/me…
LOL! Perfect.

I could care less about people chiding me what to call a trans, cis, str8 or gay or lesbian or in between …It is all too stupid with this bi, poly clang clang clang goes the trolley. It is fine. I had a Cousin It. I much prefer calling trans or cis Miss Thang.
rbernard
Megan nailed it.
cuteguy
Newsom is probably hoping this train wreck continues bc it will guarantee him that he keeps his job

Does anyone know why militant trans activist Parker Malloy (surely you girls remember how she called her press conferences to ask what had Rupaul done for the trans community in clear support of Bruce’s ascension to the throne of the trans world) has had nothing to say about all of this? The thought did occur to me that Queerty may have lost its phone book and thats why they’ve quoted nothing from Ms. Loudmouth but that just cant be. There has to be some reason for not hunting her (of all people) and finding out how she feels about all this and does she now regret what she sure as hell promoted, big time.

You can always tell when you trolls have seen the latest release over on the right wing sites. The problem is, you never bother to check to see if they’re lying to you.
Molloy has commented several times on Jenner and her governor run. Specifically pointing out that California laws since 2014 have allowed trans kids to participate in sports and you haven’t seen women’s sports crumble in the state.
I thought all of you understood that the right wing sites routinely lie as a “Goctcha” and then just hope nobody bothers to check, but I guess I over estimated their readers.

Hallo
Jimmy
I AGREE WITH MEGAN! CAITLYN JENNER IS NOTHING BUT A HOT UNQUALIFIED MESS!
