t, says she opposes trans girls participating in women's sports.
Ms Jenner, who came out as a trans woman in 2015, told a reporter: "It just isn't fair. And we have to protect girls' sports in our schools."
The Republican candidate for governor gave what appeared to be an impromptu interview to the TMZ website.
A number of US states are considering a ban on trans girls in women's sports.
Mississippi signed such a ban into law in March, although it is expected to face appeals. The Human Rights Campaign – the largest LGBT advocacy group in the US – says some 17 other states are considering similar legislation.
Well good for them. And good for Caitlyn Jenner.
Ms Jenner's views on trans athletes put her at odds with many activists in the trans community, who argue that legislation targeting trans children is dangerous and discriminatory.
On Friday, another transgender celebrity, Elliot Page, criticised the moves to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports teams in some states.
Yes, we heard from the miserable Page yesterday: a new cultural hero, it seems, for having her breasts surgically removed. That's where we've got to, and the level of misogyny we've reached, with "gender identity".
