New Petition Slams InTouch Weekly Over Transphobic Bruce Jenner Cover

A new Care2 petition is calling on InTouch Weekly to apologize for its latest magazine cover, which features a Photoshopped image of former U.S. track and field athlete and TV star Bruce Jenner as a woman, alongside an article that speculates on Jenner’s gender identity. The Care2 petition - which notes that Jenner has never said or implied anything regarding his gender identity - demands that Dan Wakeford, Editor-in-Chief of InTouch Weekly be more sensitive to the struggles that actual transgender people face and refrain from gossipy speculation about someone’s gender identity.
