Once again, Caitlyn Jenner is talking about other trans people, and that's never a good sign.

As reported by the New York Post, Jenner is slamming Nike's partnership with TitkTok star and trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. Jenner accused the sports brand of going "woke."

Jenner, who was recently named a Fox News contributor, said the partnership was "an outrage," which is very on brand for her new pundit persona on right-wing network.

"As someone that grew up in awe of what [Nike co-founder] Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke!" she tweeted. "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."

We should note that Jenner had her own partnership with Nke seven years earlier. She was chosen as one of the faces for H&M's sportswear line, H&M Sport.

Although she did not exactly explain how Nike partnering with Mulvaney harmed "the mass majority of people," she emphatically tweeted, "STOP TRYING TO ERASE WOMEN."

Meanwhile, Mulvaney has been minding her business while being influential. Announcing her partnership with Nike, she posted to Instagram: "Alert the media — I'm entering my workout era," Mulvaney, a trans woman and the company's newest paid brand ambassador."

This partnership after conservatives started another wave of outrage over Bud Light's supportive relationship of Mulvaney as an ambassador.


About Mulvaney's Nike partnership, Twitter users shared mixed feelings, starting that "'outrage' is a bit over the top."

One user replied, "The same people who are so 'outraged' by cancel culture sure do want to cancel a whole lot of things these days... beer, books, Disney."

Sounds like Jenner is a bit jealous. However, she later clarified that the thread of her outrage stems from Nike's treatment of Allyson Felix, who was offered less money when she got pregnant as an ambassador.

What do you think? Does Jenner have a point?
