On November 6, the day after the presidential election, Olympian and Kardashian stepparent Caitlyn Jenner posted a photo on her social media from Florida.
It featured Jenner flanked by President-elect Donald Trump, a young person identified as Trump’s granddaughter Kai, and Elon Musk at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club.
Jenner captioned her post:
"Hope is back in America. These two men will single-handedly save western civilization and that starts with a strong United States of America."
"I am here and at your service and forever indebted to your sacrifice for this country. Let’s Make America Great Again!"
Posing with a very vocal transphobe like Elon Musk drew immediate backlash for Jenner from liberals.
While just existing drew backlash from the MAGA transphobes Jenner aligns herself with.
But one question was repeated several times.
Given current Republican focus on bathrooms, people wanted to know which one Jenner used at Mar-a-Lago.
When Patriot Takes reposted Jenner's photo, the question of bathroom usage was asked again.
And this time, Jenner answered.
Jenner exposing the latest GOP hypocrisy was later flagged by Patriot Takes.
I've observed that as long as Republicans are doing something, Republicans consider it acceptable. Lies, sex crimes, fraud... all acceptable to Republicans from within. But they'll use it against the opposition if they're doing it. Republicans have no ethics but self-preservation.

Trans for me not for thee.

The GOP have a down low culture and like money, basically if you're rich and conservative you're seen as "one of the good ones" +1 if you're white, if you're poor (middle class) or liberal you're seen as other/less than. This is just a honeymoon phase eventually they'll turn on them.

Was Nancy Mace standing outside of the ladies room checking genitalia?

But the issue is drawing mostly crickets from the GOP's biggest transphobic crusaders.
After Delaware elected Democrat Sarah McBride to Congress, vocal bigot and South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace started transphobic attacks against McBride focused primarily on bathroom usage.
The tactic isn't a new one for anti-LGBTQ+ bigots like Mace, who got Christian nationalist Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to join her transphobic crusade. Johnson declared the Capitol would enact discriminatory policies targeting primarily trans women—for now.
Self-proclaimed devout Christian Mace is so obsessed with McBride, she posted on X about her over 300 times in one week, called her "it" and mis-gendering her in televised interviews on the subject.
Seeing a bandwagon to jump onto, Georgia's QAnon conspiracy theorist Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened Representative-elect McBride with violence over where she uses the restroom while on the Capitol campus.
Yet none of the major players in the Republican's bathroom brigade has launched an attack against Donald Trump or his Mar-a-Lago resort being a trans-inclusive space.
Caitlyn Jenner and Trump campaign surrogate Sophia Hutchins, both trans women, with Alina Habba at Mar-a-Lago. In the MAGA movement, trans people magically become ok when they are at Mar-a-Lago.

Mace—previously known for nothing at all—hitched her wagon to being Congress' most vocal anti-trans crusader. She's been riding it to media appearances, print interviews, and an explosion in her social media engagement.
But it seems her devotion to the cause doesn't include taking on Trump.
