Shock Petition to revoke Bruce Jenner's Olympic medal!
This must be one of the most ridiculous things i have ever heard! Seems some people just say the most stupid things so they can be heard.Well,unfortunately this ploy works most of the time.
A Change.org petition has been launched urging the International Olympic Committee to
revoke Caitlyn Jenner 's Olympic gold medal.
Caitlyn 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".The petition titled ,"Revoke Caitlyn Jenner's
Olympic medals"which is already gathering thousands of signatures was started by Jennifer Bradford who in

an open letter to the Olympic Committee,writes
It has sparked outrage from Caitlyn's fans, but despite the shock, has already gained more than
"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.They go on to suggest the medal be revoked completely....
"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 Jennerwas, in fact, a woman participating in a men’s event,"
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."
"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."
