A photograph recently surfaced of transgender Republican millionaire Caitlyn Jenner standing next to transphobic white nationalist billionaire Elon Musk and transphobic president Donald Trump.

The photo was recently posted by the right-wing watchdog social media account @PatriotTakes on X. The account commented, “Funny how trans people magically become ok when they are at [Trump’s Florida resort] Mar-a-Lago.”

Caitlyn Jenner refuses to say Donald Trump lost the election & dodges question on trans rights

Trump’s hosting of the transgender woman at his resort is notable considering his many executive orders looking to eradicate trans identity from all aspects of public life.

Trump has signed numerous executive orders directing the federal government to deny all legal recognition of trans gender identity, ordering schools to end their trans-inclusive student policies, and vilifying trans people as “child sexual mutilators” and who are mentally ill, selfish, dishonorable, deceitful, and undisciplined.

Last December, Jenner implied that she uses the women’s bathroom at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, revealing the hypocrisy behind the MAGA party’s attitude toward trans people.

At the time, Jenner responded to a post on X questioning if “Caitlyn, Elon and Donald all used the bathroom together,” considering the GOP’s obsession with banning trans women from using women’s bathrooms. Jenner herself replied to the post, plainly stating, “We do not.”

Musk has deliberately misgendered his own transgender daughter, claiming she is “dead” and was “killed by the woke mind virus.” Musk’s now ex-wife, musician Grimes, left him to start dating military whistleblower and trans activist Chelsea Manning. Musk regularly spouts transphobia on his social media site X.

Caitlyn Jenner, who came out as transgender in 2015, is an American media personality and former Olympic gold medalist who nonetheless opposes allowing trans athletes to partake in competitive sports.

Though she claimed to vote for Trump in the 2016 presidential election, that may have been a lie. In October 2018, she withdrew her support of Trump — saying he “relentlessly attacked” the trans community by rolling back protections for trans students and banning trans people from the U.S. military.

“I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans,” the transgender millionaire said. In 2021, she said, “Obviously I would support” Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. In a May 1 Instagram post, Jenner endorsed Trump, writing, “We had world peace, unity, and law and order under President Trump!”

Jenner believes that trans female athletes should be banned from girls’ and women’s sports, even though she is herself a trans female athlete.
