Caitlyn slams Trump for military 'transgender ban'
President Donald Trump has caused outrage with his latest decision to ban the transgender community from serving their country.
In a series of tweets, President Trump said that having transgender people in the military leads to "tremendous medical costs and disruption" and for that reason, he was enforcing a block on being able to serve. You can read his tweets below.
Celebrity transgender activist and advocate Caitlyn Jenner was one of the first to express her outrage, tweeting the US leader direct to question why he's turned his back on America's LGBT population.
There are 15,000 patriotic transgender Americans in the US military fighting for all of us. What happened to your promise to fight for them? https://t.co/WzjypVC8Sr

Caitlyn has been vocal in the past about her support of the controversial President, something many struggled to understand as her connection to the LGBT community doesn't appear to align with Trump's political stance.
She even talked about backing him on her TV show I Am Cait in 2016, saying: "He would be really good for women's issues."
As a result, social media has errupted with many scratching their heads at Caitlyn's shock.
Caitlyn sweetie we BEEN trying to warn you and your privileged ass continued to vouch for him. I'm supposed to feel bad? I don't.
