Caitlyn Jenner displayed her sense of humor on Tuesday in response to a gender transition joke made by a restaurant.
The establishment in Texas had blown up an image of Jenner post-transition and placed it on the door of the women's bathroom, while an image of Jenner pre-transition was placed on the men's bathroom door. The resurfaced meme, accompanied by the text "Funny or Not," was shared on Twitter.
In a lighthearted manner, Jenner responded on Twitter, stating, "Funny as hell," as she reposted the meme. This showed her ability to take the joke in stride and maintain a sense of humor about her own transition.
The restaurant, Dodie's Place Cajun Bar & Grill, had previously apologized to Jenner in November 2017 after the bathroom joke sparked accusations of transphobia. In a Facebook post, the restaurant clarified that the placement of the images on the bathroom doors was intended as a lighthearted gesture to push back against what they perceived as excessive political correctness in the country.
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, gained fame as an athlete who won the gold medal in the men's decathlon during the 1976 Summer Olympics at the age of 26. In March 2022, Jenner became a contributor for Fox News Media following an unsuccessful run for California governor in 2021. Jenner has aligned herself with conservative positions, particularly in relation to the participation of transgender athletes in sports.
Jenner's response to the restaurant's joke not only showcased her ability to find humor in the situation but also highlighted her resilience and ability to navigate the public eye with grace. Her journey from Olympic athlete to transgender advocate and conservative figure has been a subject of public interest and scrutiny, and her ability to maintain a sense of humor in the face of controversy is a testament to her character.
