Dodie’s Place Cajun Bar & Grill is under fire for using pre and post-transition pictures of Caitlyn Jenner on it’s bathroom doors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The door of the women’s bathroom featured a picture of Caitlyn’s 2015 Vanity Fair cover where she debuted as a woman. The men’s door had a picture of Jenner competing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as a man. ⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Social media erupted after Dallas Morning News editor Dom DiFurio posted the images on Twitter on Oct. 30. But according to Dodie’s Facebook page, the images have been in use since at least August. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“First and foremost, our intention was not to make fun of or offend anyone when we installed the pictures of Bruce and Caitlyn on our bathroom doors,” the restaurant said in a statement. “It was merely a lighthearted gesture to push back against the political correctness that seems to have a stranglehold on this country right now. We believe that political correctness has done more to silence rather than encourage important discussions that our society probably needs to have.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jenner has not commented on the matter.
