- Caitlyn Jenner revealed she implored Donald Trump for help after her passport gender marker was changed to the one she was assigned at birth.
- "Boo-hoo. Cry me a f---ing river," *The View*'s Ana Navarro said of the conservative MAGA supporter.
- Jenner said she wrote a letter to Trump, but hasn't "heard from him" on the matter after being unable to travel internationally.
*The View*'s Ana Navarro has no sympathy for conservative trans personality Caitlyn Jenner, who has publicly voiced support for Donald Trump despite the MAGA movement's firm anti-LGBTQ stances and policies.
"Boo-hoo. Cry me a f---ing river," Navarro wrote Friday on Instagram in response to Jenner's recent revelation that she wrote a letter to the president asking for help in changing her gender marker, as she said she's no longer able to travel internationally because her gender is now listed as the one she was assigned at birth.
Jenner, who publicly came out as trans in 2015, revealed on the most recent episode of the *Tomi Lahren Is Fearless* talk show that she pleaded with Trump over the ordeal, telling the controversial commentator that she "worked very, very hard" earlier "with a law firm to make sure everything was changed from M to F" on her official documents, including her birth certificate, which now indicates her full name and gender.**

"All my documentation was right. My passport, global entry, I traveled around the world, I don't know if you remember last year I got stuck in Tel Aviv when they started bombing," Jenner said, adding that she was able to get out of the region safely and with no issue crossing over any borders, including from Israel to Jordan, at the time.
She added, "I love President Trump, and I think he signed this executive order, I don't know who underneath him was putting this thing together, that all federal documents [have] to be your biological sex at birth."
"Recently, I had my passport, I had to get it renewed. I sent it back. It comes back with gender marker M. Screws everything up. There's a form in there if they made a mistake, you can correct it, so I fill out all the proper forms," Jenner continued, telling Lahren that she has Trump's personal cell, but didn't use it "because it's not just about me, it's about all people in this situation" who need to help themselves through their own means, too.

"I even sent a hard copy of my birth certificate," Jenner explained. "I did everything. They sent it back: M. They didn't change it at all. So now I'm in a position, Tomi, what do I do? This is a safety factor. I can't travel internationally anymore. I can't use my passport. I can use Global Entry, it says F, I can travel in the United States, driver's license, pilot's license, everything, gender marker F. It really creates a big problem."
Jenner, who has long voiced support for Trump and his policies, stressed that she doesn't "blame President Trump" and that she loves him, even though he and his administration enacted what the Associated Press described in 2025 as a "policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gender identity."
The former athlete said she still hasn't spoken to Trump about the issue, but tried to write a letter to him explaining her ordeal.**
"I haven't heard from him. He's kind of busy right now. My gender marker isn't big on the issue," Jenner said, finishing the segment by telling Lahren, "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."

Many LGBTQ celebrities have spoken out against Trump and how conservative political policies impact the community. *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 17 star Hormona Lisa, who is trans, told EW in 2025 that she feared what might happen to the community under Trump's second term in office.

"Something I’ve always tried to do is validate and love myself where I don’t need it externally, and that’s something we’re going to have to all focus on developing, especially over these next four years. It’s not going to be the last thing to happen towards trans and queer people in general," Hormona told EW at the time, in response to a question about pushes to ban trans women from women's sports.

She continued, "It makes it more important to know what you bring to the table and that it has value. If somebody else doesn’t think it does, from legislation or from this current sitting crazy president…. I don’t know what to think, I’m struggling to put the words together because it doesn’t feel like that’s what’s happening. We’re kind of going in a different direction these last four years, with public perception of trans people, then you have stuff like this come up. It feels surreal."
