Caitlyn Jenner Transition Bashed by '19 Kids & Counting' Friends Holt Family on Facebook

Caitlyn Jenner might have racked up 1 million Twitter followers in 4 hours earlier this week after releasing her Vanity Fair cover, but it seems that not everyone is so receptive of her transition. While the star formerly known as Bruce Jenner has been featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians for the past ten years, it seems that another reality family is coming after her in the wake of her surgeries. The 19 Kids and Counting clan may have their extremely conservative views regarding the LGBT community, but their friends, the Holts, who were featured on their TLC series, spoke out today about their opinion on Caitlyn's lifestyle.

According to Radar Online, the family friends of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were not as supportive as other folks in the entertainment community, so much so that they wouldn't even mention Caitlyn's name in their bashing comments.

Jim Holt and his wife Bobye Barenberg Holt took to their Facebook page to express their viewpoints on Jenner's transition.

"My heart is so heavy for our nation that it would be so easily deceived to accept the former Olympian, whose name I won't mention, as a woman," the family wrote. "My heart aches for the former Olympian, as he is so obviously confused and hurting that he had to mutilate his body so badly as not to recognize the person he was born to be."

They concluded saying that the only way that Caitlyn will be able to solve her "confusion" is through prayer.

"He will forever be deceived and confused until he comes to the acceptance of the love of Jesus that waits so patiently for him," the message states, adding "praying love prevails before it's too late."
