Caitlyn Jenner in the jungle: Twitter reacts

Consistently on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! One campmate gets everyone talking before they even set foot in the wilderness.

This year the spotlight is on the infamous Caitlyn Jenner.

While we have a lot of home-grown well known faces in the present line-up in the form of footballer Ian Wright and Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, for example, there is no denying that Caitlyn is the genuine top charging here.

Not only is the 70-year-old an Olympic legend, being marked as the world’s most prominent competitor, but she is also part of one of the world’s most renowned families, the Kardashians.

Caitlyn was married to Kris Jenner for a long time and is the parent of supermodel Kendall Jenner, youngest billionaire Kylie Jenner and The Hills star Brody, the step-parent of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, and the in-law of Kanye West.

It is by no shock that the show splashed out £500,000 to get Caitlyn Jenner on there.

Yet, as energised as fans were, hoping Caitlyn would spill some genuine Kardashian tea in the middle of nibbles of cockroaches and kangaroo under districts, there was likewise some fear with the unscripted television star going on the show.

Caitlyn came out as a transgender lady in April 2015 at 65 years old, showed up as Caitlyn on a pivotal Vanity Fair spread two months after the fact, and finished reassignment medical procedure in January 2017.

There was an ongoing concern from fans that this would lead to transphobic comments about Jenner during her time in the jungle.

And it took seconds before social media proved their concerns to be right.

During the debut of I’m A Celeb on Sunday night, Caitlyn was dead named (calling a trans individual by their pre-change name) over and over as individuals intentionally alluded to her as Bruce Jenner in insensitive tweets.

People kidded about the star pre-task, over and again called her a man and made constant remarks about her looks, all while calling others ‘snowflakes’ for whining about them.

One individual contended that Caitlyn shouldn’t have been titled an ‘Olympian and reality star’ in her profile since she won the gold award in the men’s decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics pre-progress.

But others leapt to the reality star’s defence.

Without a doubt, you can discover anything via web-based networking media on the off chance that you search thoroughly. Be that as it may, this was not a couple of tweets.

Caitlyn is one of the most noticeable trans ladies on the planet, with presumably the most prominent trans venture because of the media inclusion during the process. So if she is being dead named, what expectation does any other person have?

Truly, it might have taken individuals some time to adapt when alluding to Caitlyn. But there is a difference between using incorrect pronouns and promptly saying ‘sorry’, and purposely composing an individual’s dead name.

It is not humorous, it is transphobia.
