Caitlyn Jenner is doubling down on her stance about transgender athletes, tweeting Thursday “biological boys should not compete in girls sports” with a video appearing to show a runner blowing away the female competition.

“Once and for all the last comment I want to make on this topic,” Jenner tweeted. “CA HAS WAY BIGGER ISSUES! I stand by my statement that biological boys should not compete in girls sports. It’s an issue of fairness.”

Jenner has made contradictory statements on her position about transgender athletes, saying Wednesday that biological boys who begin transitioning at “a very young age” should be allowed to compete in girls’ sports.

“What I would do as governor, I would put together a commission,” Jenner explained in an interview on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” adding, “Trans women compete in the Olympics, they compete in the NCAA, but when it gets down to the high school level, there’s no guide rules, there’s no rules and regulations how they can.”

“Trans women, who are truly trans, who at a very young age, you know, started proper medical treatment, they’ve grown up as girls, of course, they should be able to compete in girls’ sports,” Jenner said. “But yes, some guy who hasn’t done any therapy, hasn’t done anything, there has to be a review board.”

Earlier in May, Jenner said that biological males should not be allowed to compete in girls’ sports because “it just isn’t fair.” (RELATED: FLASHBACK: Caitlyn Jenner Said Every Trans Person Should Have An Opportunity To Compete In Sports)

“This is a question of fairness. That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls sports in school. It just isn’t fair, and we have to protect girls sports in our schools,” Jenner explained to TMZ.
