Caitlyn Jenner is adamant, "I oppose biological boys who are transgendered competing against girls in school."
This is what she said at the microphone of TMZ, which surprised her on Saturday morning as she bought herself a coffee to go.
If the journalist asked him the question, it is because the subject is debated in America.
Several states - most often conservative - are trying to prohibit access to sports competitions reserved for women to transgender athletes, as the
New York Times
recently explained
.
The supporters of this ban evoke the biological aspect of both sexes.
Caitlyn Jenner did not discuss adult athletic competitions, and focused on minors who have not yet been able to begin their physical transition (doctors advise against starting a transition before she is 16).
Caitlyn Jenner, who was an Olympic decathlon champion in the 1970s and running for governor of California, reiterated her position on Twitter.
In tune with JK Rowling
“I didn't expect to be asked about this when I went to get me a coffee on Saturday morning, but I want to be clear on my position.
It's a matter of fairness and we must protect sports for girls in our schools, ”she wrote on the social network, quoting the TMZ article.
A position that shocks the LGBTQ + community, the ex-wife of Kris Jenner having always defended the rights of transgender people.
His words are indeed similar to those of the author JK Rowling.
The creator of the
Harry Potter
saga
has been opposing sex to gender for many months, which earned her to be described as transphobic by several activists and to have lost the support of the actors of the saga, among others.
