Caitlyn Jenner has tweeted Joy Behar after the presenter came under fire for misgendering the athlete-turned reality star on an episode of The View.
The error occurred on the April 23 edition of the talk show, as the hosts were discussing Jenner's recent announcement that she would be running for governor of California.
But while speaking about Jenner's future in politics, Behar repeatedly used male pronouns.
Caitlyn publicly came out as a trans woman in April of 2015, later revealing her new name in the July edition of Vanity Fair.
Behar later issued an apology, telling viewers: "Let me apologize for my pronoun mix-up.
"I think I just didn't get enough sleep last night, I had no intention of mixing them up - and I tried to correct it immediately, but, whatever, it just came out, so, I'm sorry if anybody was upset by that."
And despite many viewers taking to social media to bash Behar, Caitlyn Jenner has told the host not to "sweat it".
Posting on Twitter, Jenner shared an EOnline article reporting on Behar's apology, writing alongside it: "Don’t sweat it, @JoyVBehar
"I’m not about cancel culture. I know where your heart is. California has bigger issues than pronouns."
Yesterday, 71-year-old Jenner and her team confirmed to Axios that she has filed her initial paperwork in order to run for governor of the Golden State.
The former Olympic decathlete, who hopes to replace Democrat Gavin Newsom, also announced the news herself on Twitter, telling her 3.5 million followers: "I’m in! California is worth fighting for."
Included in the tweet was a press release, which reads: "California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality.
"But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision."
The reality star, who is thought to be a Republican, added: "I have been a congressional disruptor throughout my life, from representing the United States and winning a gold medal at the Olympics to helping advance the movement of equality.
"As Californians, we face a now or never opportunity to fundamentally fix our state before it’s too late."
