Caitlyn Jenner, the Olympian and reality TV star, is experiencing a harsh reality check. Despite being a wealthy white MAGA supporter, she is not shielded from Donald Trump's transphobic policies. The realization dawned when she renewed her passport and it came back marked 'male' instead of 'female', as mandated by Trump's executive order defining gender by biological sex at conception.
Jenner's Disappointment
Speaking on the Tomi Lahren is Fearless podcast, Jenner expressed frustration: 'This is a safety factor. I can't travel internationally anymore, I can't use my passport.' She tried to correct the error, but the passport was returned with the same gender marker. Despite her love for Trump, she admitted the policy is 'a huge issue for a lot of people.'
Trump Ghosts Jenner
Jenner has attempted to contact Trump to resolve the issue but has received no response. 'He's kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issue list,' she said. She added, 'I don't think this was really thought out, what this means.' However, the article argues that the policy was indeed deliberate, as Trump has consistently targeted transgender rights.
Cognitive Dissonance
The author highlights the mental gymnastics required to support Trump while being personally affected by his policies. Jenner had previously criticized Trump's 2017 decision to revoke transgender student restroom protections, yet she still supported him in 2024. This pattern reflects a broader trend where supporters believe they will be exempt from Trump's harmful actions.
