While
the
whole
world
had
been
supporting
Caitlyn
Jenner
as
a
transgender
in
this
rigid
society
who
is
too
tiff
to
accept
a
change,
surprisingly,
a
few
seems
to
be
insensitive
towards
this
gender
transition.
A
petition
has
been
started
urging
the
International
Olympic
Committee
to
revoke
medals
won
by
Bruce
Jenner
claiming
she
was
in
violation
of
committee
rules
by
being
a
transgender.
The
petition
titled
"Revoke
Caitlyn
Jenner's
Olympic
medals" has
been
launched
at
Change.org
urging
the
International
Olympic
Committee
to
revoke
the
medal
won
by
Bruce
Jenner
who
has
now
transitioned
into
a
woman.
Bruce
Jenner
won
the
gold
medal
for
the
decathlon
in
the
1976
Montreal
Olympics,
but
now
an
online
petition
claims
it
was
"in
violation
of
committee
rules"
as
he
has
now
transitioned
into
a
woman.
In
an
open
letter
to
the
Olympic
Committee,
Jennifer
Bradford
who
started
the
petition
wrote,
"It
has
recently
come
to
light
that
gold
medalist
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."
Jennifer
added,
"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,"
she
added.
"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."
The
letter
concluded:
"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."

this
petition
