Caitlyn Jenner slams the 'radical rainbow mafia' in interview with John Cleese and claims 'crazy people' have 'taken over' the LGBT community

Caitlyn Jenner has slammed the 'radical rainbow mafia' and has claimed that 'crazy people' have 'taken over' the LGBT community.

In an interview with GB News' John Cleese, Jenner said: 'I mean, take trans people, I think they've taken the woke ideology and are just taking it to the max and worse.'

She said she calls these people the 'radical rainbow mafia'. Jenner also claimed that the LGBT community, particularly the trans community, had been 'taken over ... by a small group of highly woke, crazy people'. 

'They're not good for trans people in general, because they're so outspoken and say "trans women are real women" and they're yelling at people, and you're not going to get anywhere like that,' she explained.

She also said social media gave this small group of people a 'big, loud microphone' to voice their controversial opinions, which she believes they do to get famous.

The 74-year-old added: 'I think that really hurts most trans people. All they want to do is just go live their life.'

In the interview as part of Mr Cleese's show The Dinosaur Hour, she also urged politicians and the media to stay out of the 'trans business'.

Jenner added that she doesn't want to government to pay for gender reassignment surgery or get involved in it in any way either. 

She said whether a person wants to change their gender is a decision between them, their parents and a medical professional and if the government came in to influence this decision, it would be to 'break up the family'. 

The former Olympic gold-medallist also shared her opinion on trans women competing in women's sports as she said it made trans people look 'selfish' and 'self-indulgent'.

She said for trans women competing in women's sports, it's all about them rather than the women they are beating, making themselves out to be the victim in the situation.
