Caitlyn Jenner is speaking out against President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke federal guidelines protecting transgender students in public schools. The trans E! reality star, 67, who backed Trump in the election, published a series of videos and posts on social media on Thursday, February 23, slamming the former Apprentice host for backtracking on the promises he made.
“Well @realDonaldTrump, from one Republican to another, this is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me,” Jenner tweeted.
In an Instagram video, the former Olympic athlete, who famously announced she was transitioning from Bruce to Caitlyn during an April 2015 interview with Diane Sawyer, expressed her disappointment in an Instagram video and urged transgender children and teens to not lose hope.
I have a message for the trans kids of America. You are winning. I know it doesn’t feel that way today or every day, but you _ are _ winning. You are going to keep on winning so much you’re going to get sick of winning. Very soon, we'll win full freedom nationwide, and it’s going to happen with bipartisan support. For all our friends out there, If you want to be part of this winning side, you can help by checking out the National Center for Trans Equality and letting Washington hear how you feel loud and clear. (Link in bio!) Now…I also have a message for the bullies. You suck. You’re losers and you’re going to keep on losing. Because you’re weak, you pick on kids or you pick on women or anyone you think is vulnerable. Apparently even becoming the Attorney General isn’t enough to cure some of you of your insecurity. As proof that you can’t stop our progress, the Supreme Court will soon hear an important Title Nine case thanks to the courage of a brave young man named Gavin Grimm. See you in court!

His case against the school board in Gloucester County, Va., is scheduled for oral arguments in Washington on March 28. Laverne Cox also gave the teen a shoutout at the Grammys while introducing Metallica and Lady Gaga’s performance.)
Ariana Grande, Ellen DeGeneres, Brie Larson, Lance Bass, Christina Applegate and many more celebs have also since expressed their disappointment in Trump for revoking the law, which allows transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice.

As previously reported, during his campaign, Trump stated that trans people should be able to use whichever bathroom they felt appropriate, but he changed his opinion after facing backlash from the Republican party. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that Trump believes the transgender protections are a “states’ rights issue and not one for the federal government.”
Former president Barack Obama issued the protection in May 2016, requiring public schools allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their chosen gender identity. The move came under the federal law, known as Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in education.
One sick soul
It’s a sad mental condition.
Wheaties or Fruit Loops?
How do you “break your silence”on something that happened today?
Bruce, convincing young children they are boys when they are girls and vice versa is child abuse! You and all of your Satanic minions are child abusers!!! Jesus warned, in the most severe terms, that punishment would come up on those who harmed little children. You are bringing curses down upon your own head. So be it.
Who cares what it thinks or says!
There is a big difference between protecting people and giving them special privileges.
A look at the radical, perverted, sick left. One of the many views of America’s worst enemy.
I thought it was sick of being a woman?
Thank goodness....now I can get on with my life now. (rolling eyes)
Hey Bruce, when you finally cut the plumbing off, get new ones and certify it is final, then you can comment. You can’t have it both ways, poor insane guy.
This is a mentally ill person.
This is about cross-dressers, not surgically transgendered.
Bu the media has it’s BIG LIE to sell.
Sorry Bruce. I don’t remember candidate Trump promising to let perverts like you use female bathrooms.
Who cares what the s/he/it says?
