Right-wing transgender media personality Caitlyn Jenner has opened up about the imact President Donald Trump’s new trans passport policy has had on her, and a lot of people online are making the same comment.
As reported by Newsweek, Caitlyn Jenner said in a recent interview with conservative commenter Tomi Lahren that she asked President Donald Trump for help navigating the impact of his administration’s passport policy.
In November 2025, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to restrict passport sex markers to male or female, and those markers had to reflect an individual’s sex at birth.
Jenner, who has six biological children from three marriages, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner, came out as trans in 2015. She told Lahren that Trump’s policy has negatively impacted her, saying: “What do I do? This is a safety factor. I can’t travel internationally anymore. I can’t use my passport.”
She also described having the sex marker M in her passport as a “big problem,” but clarified: “I don’t blame President Trump. I love him”, despite the fact she had appealed to him for help but received no response.
In January 2025, Jenner was criticised for her continuing support of Donald Trump, following his swearing-in as the 47th president. Trump used his inauguration speech to once again attack trans and marginalised people, before signing a number of executive orders, including to remove so-called gender-ideology guidance. He declared it would become government policy “that there are only two genders, male and female.”
Despite this, trans Olympian Jenner declared was “just as happy, actually more happy, than the first time, to be celebrating the inauguration of President Trump.”
Her post was mocked by those who couldn’t believe she supported a man who, as one person put it, “literally announced that you don’t exist today.”
One person wrote on social media: “Were you in the front row for that? I don’t understand how you can support an office that is trying to re-alienate you from society?”
Another asked: “He just publicly said you are not accepted, how do you feel about him now?”
Her recent comments about her passport struggles have received a similar response online.
One of the most common phrases people are using to react to the news is: “I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face.”
What does ‘I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face’ mean?
The phrase is a reference to a viral 2015 tweet by Adrian Bott, which read: “I never thought leopards would eat MY face, sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.”
It’s often used as a meme to highlight instances where people support a policy that targets marginalised or ‘othered’ people, but that decision then backfires when they discover that they’re also negatively impacted by that law or political decision. It has a similar meaning to “reap what one sows.”
Another commenter phrased it slightly differently, stating: “Trans people who support Trump make zero sense to me. What the hell did Caitlyn think would happen. She really thought tossing other trans people to the wolves would somehow save her from being eaten by the wolves too.”
Jenner also told Lahren she had written a letter to Trump about the passport policy, “explaining all of this to him, how it’s affecting me and a lot of other people.”
“I haven’t heard from him,” she admitted. “He’s kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issue. OK. So I get that, and I’m not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing.”
Jenner also noted that the policy could affect her ability to vote, and said she didn’t think the Trump administration had “really thought out, what this (policy) means.”
