Caitlyn Jenner Slams Trans Teen Who Finished 2nd In Cali Race: ‘This Is Wrong’

Caitlyn Jenner Disapproves Of Trans Teen Who Finished 2nd In Cali Race

Caitlyn Jenner called out a transgender teen who finished in second place at a Meet of Champions girls race in California over the weekend.

Athena Ryan finished second in the varsity girls’ 1,600-meter run finals on Saturday in the sectional Meet of Champions…which did not make Caitlyn happy at all.

Cailtyn is very against transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. “As ‘somewhat’ of a track star myself, and a trans person, THIS IS WRONG!!! HELP ME PUSH BACK!” she tweeted.

And FYA trans ppl you are being used by the radical gender ideology cult as political pawns. That’s all you are to them.

Jenner also accused the “radical gender ideology cult” of using transgender individuals as political pawns.

Ryan’s impressive performance edged out Adeline Johnson, a senior from Branson High School, who finished in fourth place. Unfortunately for Johnson, her placement means she will not be advancing to the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships next week.

A moment captured on video during the podium ceremony, where Johnson was seen giving a thumbs-down gesture, quickly went viral, stirring further debate.

Branson High School later clarified that the gesture was unrelated to Ryan and her transgender identity, stating that it was actually a response to her own individual performance. The school emphasized its support for all athletes and commended their achievements at the competition.
