Thoughts and prayers for Caitlyn Jenner. It seems that it’s starting to dawn on the Olympian and reality TV star that being a rich, white, Maga supporter doesn’t entirely shield her from Donald Trump’s transphobic policies.

What sparked that realization? Was it the millions of dollars spent by the Trump campaign on anti-trans ads during the 2024 election? Was it, perhaps, the fact that one of Trump’s very first acts in his second term, conducted just hours after he took office, was to sign an executive order which stated that government-issued identification documents would be changed to reflect the holder’s “immutable biological classification as either male or female”, defined by a person’s cells at conception – in other words, your passport would reflect the sex you were assigned at birth?

No, it seems Jenner, who publicly came out as transgender in 2015, shrugged all that off. Not her problem! But she got a little bit worried when Trump’s actions directly impacted her. Specifically, when she recently renewed her passport and it came back marked “male”, not “female”. Speaking on the conservative Tomi Lahren is Fearless podcast this month, Jenner said she thought it was a mistake and tried to get it corrected. But, no, it came back marked as male again. Just as Trump specified in his executive order.

“This is a safety factor. I can’t travel internationally anymore, I can’t use my passport,” Jenner whined to Lahren, who looked like she couldn’t care less. “I’m trying to figure out at this point what to do,” Jenner continued. “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him, but for a lot of people, this is a huge issue.”

Apparently, Jenner has been trying to get in contact with the president........
