But there are two things she understands very well:
1. Living as a transgender female.
2. And thriving in athletic competition.
Before her shocking transformation, she was the world's most dominant athlete -- as Bruce Jenner, who graced the cover of everything from Wheaties' boxes to Playgirl magazine in the late-70s and beyond. After finishing 10th in the 1972 Summer Olympics in the Decathlon event, Jenner cruised to victory in the 1975 Pam-American Games and the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Flash forward to 2015: Jenner comes out as a transgender woman and undergoes a very public transformation.
This week, Jenner announced she is running for Governor of California as a Republican. In the week since commencing her candidacy, she has ticked off the LGBTQ community with her stance that trans females should not be permitted to compete against biological females in sports.
