Caitlyn Jenner calls Joe Rogan 'transphobic a**' for questioning transition, Internet says 'he tells jokes'

'He’s gotten his fame by putting other people down and making jokes about it,' Caitlyn Jenner said

It seems Caitlyn Jenner is not in a mood to take any sh*t from Joe Rogan who earlier called the Kardashians “crazy b****es” and accused them of persuading Jenner into transitioning. Now again, Rogan did the same on his podcast on Friday, September 11, as he took a dig at the Kardashian-Jenner family. “People were saying, ‘He was always a woman, he was born a woman.’ Maybe. Or maybe if you live with crazy b****es long enough, they f****ng turn you into one. Maybe you go crazy,” the comedian said.

But Caitlyn fired back this time as she told TMZ: “He’s a homophobic, transphobic a**. He calls my family, especially the girls, crazy b****es and he does this all the time.” She continued, “Let’s get real here. My daughters have obviously done extremely well. They’re more famous. They have more money than he has. They have just about everything more than he has. He’s gotten his fame by putting other people down and making jokes about it.”

“My family has done it through hard work. My girls have worked their tail off. They’ve been smart businesswomen. They are intelligent, they’re extraordinarily hardworking, and that’s how they’ve made their businesses and their fame,” the 70-year-old added.

In 2016, Rogan appeared in a standup special on Netflix titled 'Triggered', where he commented, “You show me a man who’s lived with the Kardashians for 10 years who didn’t become a chick and then we’ll have some data. I’ve got a close eye on Kanye West and I don’t like what I’m seeing.” But Caitlyn said she did not move forward with her transition until her kids were all grown and successful. “Being gender dysphoric, transitioning, all of that, is not a joke. It’s very serious stuff. You’re concerning family, friends, the society, all of these types of things. I just feel like Joe Rogan has a lot to learn,” she told TMZ. Besides, she also challenged the 53-year-old to have a face-to-face conversation. “If I was sitting right in front of him he would treat me a lot differently. It’s one thing to say something on a stage or something on your show and make a joke about it, but it’s harder to do it in front of your face,” she noted.

This comes after Caitlyn revealed that she did not know that the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ show will soon end. Speaking on Australia's ‘The Morning Show’, she stated that no one from her family told her that the reality show, which aired for more than 14 years, will air its last episode in early 2021. "I heard it on the news! Nobody called me, I heard it through the media. Was I surprised? No,” she added.

But she did not miss a chance to praise her ex-wife, Kris Jenner, and their kids for successfully running the show. “But that show, it's probably the greatest reality show in history. There are over 500 episodes over 14 years. The girls and Kris have done just an amazing job with the show and keeping it going for this long. But everybody is in a different place now and I think it's time to move on. But what a run,” Caitlyn said as she added: “nothing lasts forever”.

Several people on Twitter also reacted to the whole fiasco as one wrote, "If he goes to jail what jail would they put him in male or female population jail? Serious question". A second user said, "Joe has time and again said he supports someone's choice to transition. But he believes there's a difference in physically transitioning and the genetic makeup that distinguishes male and female. Hormones won't make a biological male menstruate. And he's a comedian. He tells jokes". "All I got from this was inner regret about transforming... The fact, that she’s replying about something @joerogan said ... speaks volumes. Since joes is known for fact checking conspiracies. Mhmm makes me wonder!!!" another user added.
