Twitter wasted no time popping off after Trump revokes trans student protections

The Trump Administration last night rescinded protections for transgender students made in the Obama era, and people are pissed.

The Obama protections allowed trans students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that matched their gender identity. So one month into Trump’s presidency, the lives of some of the most vulnerable American citizens — young trans students — are being directly harmed.

It didn’t take long for a tidal wave of disgust to wash over social media. Ellen DeGeneres summed it up succinctly: “This isn’t about politics. It’s about human rights, and it’s not okay.”
