“This is wrong”: Caitlyn Jenner, Former Olympian Gold Medalist, Slams Trans Athletes for Disrupting Women Sports by Calling it Unfair

Caitlyn Jenner is a popular American media personality and former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete. Formerly known as Bruce Jenner, she went through a gender transition in 2015. Jenner publicly came out as a trans woman in April 2015, announcing her new name in July of that year. That year, she starred in the reality television series I Am Cait, which focused on her gender transition. The 73-year-old reality star had been called the most famous trans woman in the world. She is a transgender rights activist.

The North Coast Meet of Champions of California finals recently took place and saw a turn of events. Athena Ryan, a transgender athlete, and junior at Sonoma Academy, claimed the silver medal in the varsity girls’ 1,600-meter run. It cost Adeline Johnson, a senior from Branson High School, who finished in fourth place, the chance to go to the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships the following week.

Johnson was seen delivering a thumbs-down motion in a video clip from the podium ceremony that soon went viral and sparked more discussion. The school later cleared that the gesture was unrelated to Ryan and her transgender identity. It was rather related to Johnson’s performance.

The incident at the finals brought to light the broader conflicts regarding transgender athletes in sports. The event was attended by a group of protesters who had a banner that said, “Protect female sports.” 

Ryan, who finished with a 4:55.91 run time, qualified for the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships after finishing in the top three.
