Looks like Caitlyn Jenner had to get a few things off her chest after it was revealed that transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney is a paid ambassador by Nike.
Caitlyn took her Twitter and said, “As someone that grew up in awe of what Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke! We can be inclusive but not at the expense of the mass majority of people, and have some decency while being inclusive. This is an outrage,” the 1976 Olympic gold medalist tweeted.

“EQUALITY > INCLUSIVITY (STOP TRYING TO ERASE WOMEN). The differences between men and women are real and are a good thing! It doesn’t make trans ppl a bad thing, either. Why is it so black and white with the RADICAL RAINBOW MAFIA?!” She added.
Reports began to come out saying she was blasting Nike for partnering with Mulvaney, but Jenner says, “the context for my outrage was how ridiculous they treated the other 10x gold medalist when she got pregnant. It wasn’t commentary on Mulvaney, but on the poor treatment of other ambassadors, in what appears to be an effort to be woke. Mulvaney is smart.”
Her tweets quickly went viral and fans had a lot of responses. One twitter user jumped in the comments saying, “it’s confusing because didn’t caitlyn accept the woman of the year award shortly after she transitioned, and now she keeps speaking against trans rights it seems caitlyn is against trans visibility in media, sports, & other aspects i don’t really know why.”

Jenner has publicly identified as a woman since 2015. As we previously reported, Jenner came out as transgender in an interview with Diane Sawyer and later underwent gender confirmation surgery. She has been a prominent figure in the transgender community and has advocated for transgender rights and visibility.
Jenner recently went on the “woke state of Washington” after allowing a transgender female to race against competitors who were born female. “We have to keep it fair,” Jenner said on America Reports “This is issue is not going to go away, but I really feel a little bit tougher. They cannot just identify [as transgender] and then compete against the women.”
