Caitlyn Jenner has slammed President Trump after his administration moved to scrap transgender bathroom rules for schools.
The President is rolling back guidance brought in by Barack Obama, which says schools must treat a student's gender identity as his or her sex.
The rules protect students' right to use whichever bathroom corresponds with their gender identity, regardless of their gender at birth.
But the Trump administration believes the rules should be made locally, not forced on states from Washington.
Responding to the move, long-time republican and transgender activist Caitlyn took to social media on Thursday.
Speaking in a video, she said: “I have a message for the trans kids of America - You’re winning. I know it doesn’t feel like it today or every day, but you’re winning.
"Very soon, we will win full freedom nation-wide and it’s going to be with bipartisan support. You can help by checking out the National Center for Transgender Equality and letting Washington hear you loud and clear.”
Addressing Trump directly, Caitlyn continued: “I have a message for President Trump, from one Republican to another.
"This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.”
Caitlyn attended Trump's inauguration last month, saying she wanted to help educate the administration.
"Republicans need help understanding LGBTQ issues," she tweeted at the time. "And I'm here to help!"
