A Texas restaurant faced backlash after decorating their bathroom doors with images of Caitlyn Jenner. The men’s door featured a picture of Jenner from her days as Bruce, showing a famous scene from her gold medal-winning track career. The women’s door displayed the Vanity Fair cover where Jenner announced her transition.
In a Facebook post back in 2017, Dodie’s, the restaurant, shared their new door decorations, joking, “Come meet our newest member of the Dodie’s crew, Caitlyn & Bruce! Stop in for our weekly specials, served all day!” However, the joke didn’t sit well with many people. The restaurant was criticized for what was seen as a mean-spirited jab at Jenner following her transition. They later issued a public apology and took down the post.
The reaction to the doors was mixed. Some found it humorous, like Jenner does now, while others considered it offensive. After Jenner shared the image again, she received comments praising her sense of humor. One commenter said, “Thank you for having a sense of humor. How refreshing.” Another added, “A person who can laugh at themselves is not lacking in confidence.”
Jenner’s transition in 2015, at the age of 65, brought her into the spotlight. She was married to Kris Kardashian for 23 years before they separated, and Jenner moved on to a new chapter in her life. Since then, she has been vocal about issues in the transgender community.
In April, Jenner launched a campaign against what she called “gender extremists,” focusing on transgender women in sports. Her initiative, Fairness First, aims to support parental rights and address concerns about gender ideology in schools, especially in sports and classrooms. According to the organization’s website, it is non-partisan and seeks to empower parents.
In an interview with Breitbart, Jenner expressed her belief that the U.S. is becoming “oversaturated” with transgender people, blaming Democrats for indoctrinating youth. This stance has led to criticism from transgender rights advocates, who question whether Jenner truly supports the community.
While Jenner continues to speak out, her views have sparked debate and drawn mixed reactions from both supporters and critics.
