Caitlyn — who has long been a vocal supporter of Trump and voted for him in both 2016 and 2024 — recently revealed that she’s unable to fly internationally after her passport gender marker was changed from female to male. The change stems from an executive order Trump signed on his first day back in office in January, directing federal agencies like the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to use *** assigned at birth on official documents, including passports.

“I worked very, very hard — I worked with a law firm — to make sure everything was changed from ‘M’ to ‘F’, right down to my birth certificate,” Caitlyn, who transitioned in 2015, said on a recent episode of Tomi Lahren Is Fearless.

That includes her ID and her passport — at least until it was time to renew it.

“I had to get it renewed. I sent it back, comes back — gender marker ‘M’. Screws everything up,” she said.

Believing it was an error, Caitlyn said she submitted correction paperwork along with her updated birth certificate. But the result didn’t change. “They sent it back, ‘M,'” she said. “They didn’t change it at all.”

“This is a safety factor,” Caitlyn added. “I can’t travel internationally anymore… so it really creates a big problem.”

She also revealed that she attempted to contact Trump directly for help. “I was in Mar-a-Lago two months ago and wrote a letter, explaining all of this to him — how it’s affecting me and a lot of other people,” she shared. “And unfortunately, he wasn’t there that weekend. Actually, the Secret Service guy said he could get it to him, put it on his desk and stuff…I haven’t heard from him.”

Despite the situation, Caitlyn made it clear that her feelings about Trump haven’t changed. “I don’t blame President Trump,” she said, suggesting someone “underneath him” may have pushed for the change. “I love him.”

“He’s kind of busy right now,” she added with a laugh. “My gender marker is not big on the issue, okay? So I get that, and I’m not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing. But I’m trying to figure out now what is the next step to try to figure this out.”

Online, many people weren’t surprised. “If only there’d been some kind of sign,” one Reddit user wrote sarcastically.”It is so exhausting hearing about these idiots crying about unfairness after they were warned a million times about what was going to happen,” another said.
