Caitlyn Jenner has revealed she wants a ‘commission’ to be introduced that would determine which transgender girls are ‘truly trans’ enough to compete in girls’ sports.
The former Olympian, who recently revealed she wants to bring the death penalty back to California, where she is running for governor, told Fox News: “What I would do as governor, I would put together a commission.
“And trans women, who are truly trans, who at a very young age, you know, started proper medical treatment, they’ve grown up as girls, of course, they should be able to compete in girl’s sports.

“But some guy who hasn’t done any therapy, who hasn’t done anything, there has to be a review board.
“And I would be the first governor to put together a review board to review each case.”
Jenner, who came out as transgender in 2015, went on to describe the matter as ‘such a small issue,’ as there would probably be just ’30 trans athletes in the entire state’.
However, the 71-year-old wasn’t always so against trans girls competing in sports.
Back in 2015, Jenner gave a speech in which she argued transgender girls should be treated equally.
But several weeks ago, she told TMZ that she’s had a change of heart.
“This is a question of fairness,” she commented. “That’s why I oppose biological boys competing in girls’ sports in school. It just isn’t fair.”
Jenner then defended her speech on Twitter, stating: “I didn’t expect to get asked this on my Saturday morning coffee run, but I’m clear about where I stand.
“It’s an issue of fairness and we need to protect girls’ sports in our schools.”
Piers Morgan then jumped to her defence, writing: “Good for her. Courageous and correct. If anyone understands how unfair it is, then it’s surely @Caitlyn_Jenner.
“Yet she will now be destroyed by the trans lobby for stating the obvious.”
