Caitlyn Jenner has slammed ‘woke’ gender identities and declared ‘I can’t even figure it out’.
The former Olympic athlete, 72, made the comments after biologically male counsellors were allowed to sleep in the same cabins as fifth grade girls attending California’s Los Alamitos School District.
Jenner, who herself was born biologically male and underwent her transition in 2015, said that California is a ‘mess’.

‘We are living in such a woke world right now, I can’t even figure it out. This is a terrible story. And Los Alamitos, their fifth-grade class, they went to this camp and when they came back, they were talking to their parents about gender, this and that,’ she told Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
She added that it’s a ‘shame’ that a fringe group is ‘out there ruining it…for everybody’.
According to parents of children at the school, biologically male counsellors at Camp Pali in San Bernardino were allowed to sleep in cabins according to the gender they identified with.
One parent, Rachel Sandoval, told Fox News: ‘My 11-year-old daughter had told me that there were multiple counselors that expressed that they identified as they/them. They also had a group of kids that were lectured on the inappropriate misgendering of counselors.’

The school district didn’t mention anything about gender policy or specify that counsellors would be separated by gender but said that an investigation into the complaints have been launched.
In a statement, an attorney for Pali Institute said, ‘To our knowledge, there have been no biologically male counselors in shared cabins with female students at Pali Institute. While counselors may have used the pronouns, they/them, the use of these pronouns is not restricted to biological males. Biological females also use those terms.’
Jenner revealed last October that coming out as transgender allowed her to finally ‘breathe’ and be her authentic self.
‘I’ve been able to live my life authentically for the last nearly seven years now. It has been the best thing I ever did,’ the 72-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.
‘People become more accepting and it just got to the point in my life at the age of 65, I had raised all my children, had done everything I could,’ she says. ‘It was down to me and I made the decision to do this and maybe I can make a difference’
‘When you finally come out, it feels like you don’t have any more secrets like somebody has lifted 1000 pounds off your shoulders and you start breathing,’ the reality star added.
Caitlyn came out as a trans woman in April 2015 while appearing on Diane Sawyer, and underwent sex affirmation surgery in January 2017.
She tells the publication that she had achieved all she could as a parent at the time of her transition.

As well as three step-children, Kim Kardashian, 41, Kourtney Kardashian, 42, and Khloe Kardashian, 37.
‘People become more accepting and it just got to the point in my life at the age of 65, I had raised all my children, had done everything I could,’ she says.
‘It was down to me and I made the decision to do this and maybe I can make a difference as doing this gives me a great platform in a very marginalised community,’ the former athlete added.
