In a blistering rebuke, Caitlyn Jenner recently launched a scathing attack on transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, denouncing her as a "narcissist" for her pursuit of competing in women's swimming events. Thomas, a transgender woman, is challenging a ruling from World Aquatics that bars biological males from women's swimming competitions. Jenner, a known conservative figure, did not mince words as she voiced her disapproval of Thomas' actions.
Speaking exclusively to OutKick's Riley Gaines, Jenner, herself a former Olympic gold medalist, asserted that Thomas is seeking attention by contesting the eligibility ruling. Jenner pointed out that Thomas was relatively unknown until media attention thrust her into the spotlight, suggesting that she is now basking in the attention and accruing followers.

Furthermore, Jenner downplayed the significance of transgender athletes in sports, emphasizing the rarity of transgender individuals participating in athletic competitions. She argued against the feasibility of assembling a football team comprised solely of transgender athletes, deeming it improbable.
As a vocal opponent of transgender women competing in women's sports, Jenner reiterated her commitment to combating what she perceives as "radical gender ideology." Last year, she launched the Fairness First political action committee, aiming to challenge the integration of transgender athletes in women's sports and advocate for parental rights in education.
Jenner's critique reflects the ongoing debate and division surrounding transgender athletes' involvement in sports, serving as a rallying point for conservative factions advocating for the preservation of traditional gender distinctions in athletic competitions.
