They Won’t Stop For Nothing.

Their attacks know no bounds, they attack children, they attack parents, they attack businesses, the right wing conservatives’ hatred of LGBT people is unlimited. Today’s attack is against Caitlyn Jenner Olympic medals.
No, the IOC will not revoke Caitlyn Jenner’s Olympic medal

Caitlyn Jenner may be the first woman to hold a gold medal in the Olympic men’s decathlon, and the International Olympic Committee is fine with that.

“Bruce Jenner won his gold medal in the 1976 Olympic Games and there is no issue for the IOC,” communications director Mark Adams told Yahoo on Thursday, using Jenner’s name from before she announced her transition this year.

The remarks came in response to a Change.org petition urging the committee to revoke Jenner’s medal on the basis that it was won by a woman competing in a male event. The petitioners’ reasoning was unusual. “It is only fair to all involved that women receive their credit as champions of the Decathalon and that the men racing Ms. Jenner are not expected to compete with a superior, streamlined being such as herself,” it reads. The petition had almost 14,000 signatures as of Friday morning.
Do they sound like a bunch of spoiled kids?

I’m taking all my marble and going home, so there!

Really the petition doesn’t even make sense; Jenner won these medals way back in the ‘70s. even if he felt like a woman back then he wasn’t on hormones and beside female hormones are the exact opposite of male hormones. When I started to take female hormones I lost muscle mass, not gained it.
