Petition Launched To Fight For The Revocation Of Caitlyn Jenner’s Olympic Gold Medal

Caitlyn Jenner has been having a roller coaster ride ever since her transition, but the lady formerly known as Bruce is not rid of the baggage associated with him just yet.

A petition on website change.org is calling for Bruce’s Olympic gold medal, which he won in the decathlon in the 1976 Olympic Games.

The petition says that as she competed as a man, and since she says she’s always identified as a woman, she broke the rules of Olympic regulations, and must therefore relinquish that medal since although anatomically a man then, she was essentially a woman.

It’s ridiculous; of course, because I don’t see how believing you’re a woman actually makes you a woman when you’re still biologically a man. But the petition has garnered some support already, with almost 12,000 petitioners as at this time.

Here’s the petition in full on change.org

Dear International Olympic Committee,

It has recently come to light that gold medallist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman. We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best. However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men’s sports and vice versa.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we must ask whether or not it is proper that Ms. Jenner should retain her Olympic records in light of this, as we must now either claim that Bruce Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner are two entirely different people (which we know is not true), or that Bruce Jenner was, in fact, a woman participating in a men’s event. 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.

We urge Ms. Jenner to support the transgender community by giving up the medals earned by competing against the wrong gender.

Thank you, and congratulations to Ms. Jenner for her courage!

#givebackthegold.

  1. In as much as i don’t support being Gay or Lesbian, I think that has to do immensely with sexual orientation but transforming your Gender, I personally think there is something wrong up there.
