Caitlyn Jenner has been mocked by The View co-host Ana Navarro after pleading with Donald Trump to change the gender in her passport.
Jenner, 76, is trans and an outspoken supporter of the Trump administration. She says she can no longer travel internationally as her passport now uses her biological gender at birth.
The State Department changed its passport rules last year after Trump handed down an executive order declaring the United States would “recognize two sexes, male and female,” based on birth certificates and “biological classification.”
Jenner recently appeared on Fox talk show Tomi Lahren Is Fearless to complain about the decision, saying she had recently renewed her passport and it came “back with gender marker M. Screws everything up.”
In response, Navarro shared a screenshot of Jenner’s news and captioned it on Instagram: “Boo-hoo. Cry me a f***ing river.”
Navarro is a longtime critic of the president. In January, she accused the Trump administration of gaslighting the American people over the circumstances of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti’s death at the hands of Border Patrol agents.
Followers added their own thoughts to her Instagram post, taking the opportunity to blast both Trump and Jenner.
“Supporting a movement that limits your own rights is a difficult contradiction to ignore. She had it coming,” one person wrote.

“Congratulations you got what you voted for!” another said while a third echored, “She literally voted for this!!!”
Elsewhere during her Fox appearance, Jenner told Lahren that she had worked “with a law firm to make sure everything was changed from M to F.”
She continued: “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 she did not blame Trump personally for the issue, explaining: “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. I even sent a hard copy of my birth certificate. 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.”
