The transgender military ban imposed by President Donald Trump went into effect Friday, ending the careers of over 13,000 trans service members.

In response, many public figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment, and activism took to social media to blast the discriminatory policy.


Chief among them was Hillary Clinton, Trump's challenger in the 2016 presidential election. ..................................

Cher, one of the LGBTQ community's greatest allies, also took to Twitter to express her heartbreak about the ban, which she saw as "another example of Trump pandering to his rightwing base."

1. Sad day... here's hoping the protest will break out from Twitter & spill out into the streets.

Salute to all our trans service-people... glad to see so many have your "six."


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

2. The Coast Guard was the only branch of the military to openly oppose

the trans ban, and the Coast Guard was the only branch of the military that didn't get paid during Trump's government shutdown. I just think that's a fun fact to know and tell.
