Caitlyn Jenner says she’s still a Trump supporter, even after the administration’s own policies saw her issued a passport with a male gender marker.
Speaking on Fox News, the 76-year-old revealed she had spent years working with lawyers to ensure all her documentation, including her passport, global entry and birth certificate, reflected her correct gender.
After renewing her passport, the State Department sent it back marked “M.” She says she tried to correct it herself, producing her amended birth certificate. It was returned unchanged.
The Trump administration issued an executive order on day one requiring passports to display sex assigned at birth, a policy that has disrupted travel for trans Americans across the country and prompted multiple lawsuits.
She said: “I don’t blame President Trump, I love him. But for a lot of people, this is an issue.”
Jenner says she wrote a letter to Trump at Mar-a-Lago two months ago. She hasn’t heard back.
“I’m not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing,” she told host Tomi Lahren.
“I haven’t heard from him. He’s kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issues, okay?”
She went on: “I’m trying to figure out now, what is the next step to try to figure this out because as we know, even to vote now you have to have proper identification. I don’t have that.”
