The View Hosts Rebuke Caitlyn Jenner Over Passport Plea to Trump

The exchange highlighted a Trump policy tying federal ID sex markers to birth.

Overview

  • ABC’s The View hosts criticized Caitlyn Jenner for asking President Trump to intervene after her passport listed male.
  • Jenner said on an April 7 podcast that her renewed passport shows a male marker and that she wrote to Trump because she fears for her safety when traveling.
  • The panel pointed to a day-one executive order that requires federal IDs to reflect sex at birth, covering passports, visas, and Global Entry cards.
  • Whoopi Goldberg questioned whether Jenner expected an exemption, Ana Navarro said “girl, cry me a river,” and Alyssa Farah Griffin called the rule “stupid.”
  • The hosts warned that people without celebrity resources face greater risk at checkpoints and cited Joe Rogan’s success in getting Trump to fast-track psychedelic research to show who has influence.
