Transphobic abuse hurled at Caitlyn Jenner at CPAC conference

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Caitlyn Jenner was harassed and hit with transphobic abuse while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas.

A heckler filmed himself approaching the former reality TV star, who is running for governor of California, and repeatedly deadnaming her and calling her a "sick freak."

Calling a transgender person by their birth name is known as deadnaming, and it can be a stressful and triggering experience.

A video of the abuse was posted to Twitter by the account Patriot Takes, which monitors right-wing media. The identity of the attacker who filmed the video is not clear.

4. It's her party. She chose to run as a Republican.

Perhaps there is a lesson in it.

15. Because they have the LOVE OF JESUS in them...

They so love their own….!

5. I am generally a very empathetic person....

but, nah, I've got nothing.

[ZonkerHarris]

6. She chose her side. She chose...poorly.

[PortTack]

7. No sympathy. She intelligent, did she really think the goons on the right would embrace her?

[HAB911]

8. thoughts and prayers

9. Well, she chose this party and all the vileness and toxicity that comes with it.

Can't say I feel too sorry for her.

10. What did she think would happen? That these bigots would welcome her

with open tentacles? Hasn't she noticed that they've been doing their best to exclude trans people from sports and even bathrooms? They'd have done the same to her as an athlete if she'd been competing before she transitioned; she never would have had that great success as an athlete. Doesn't she understand what her party is trying to do?

11. Not sure what she expected.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. no sympathy here, she could not have expected anything less....

surprised she has not been physically assaulted or murdered.

[Voltaire2]

13. It's Her Party

She can cry if she wants to
Cry if she wants to
Cry if she wants to
Transphobia is in the party platform.

14. She's in it for attention and money.....

I doubt this will bother in any organic way. In some sick way, she probably likes the attention.

16. It's not as though she just came out a trans

last week. She's had years to notice that her political party of choice is completely antagonistic to people like her. So, too bad Ms. Jenner.

[Captain Stern]

17. Ah, well. I guess she's learned that CPAC has a 'big tent' too.

And there are plenty of clowns in that circus that don't give a damn what she has to say..even if they agree with every word.

[Hekate]

18. Good gods. These people are not your friends, Ms Jenner.
