Celebrities are reacting angrily to the Donald Trump government's override this week of the rule that required public schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms associated with the gender of their choice.

Sean Spicer, a presidential spokesman, stated that the guidelines issued by the Barack Obama government were confusing and too difficult to implement, and that the departments of justice and education are drafting a new document.

"The President made it clear throughout the campaign that he is a firm believer in the rights of states to make their own decisions, and that certain issues like this should not be decided at the federal level," said Spicer.

The celebrities were quick to react and one of the first to demonstrate was presenter Ellen DeGeneres, who wrote “This is not about politics. It's about human rights, and it's not right.”

An hour later he sent a message saying to those affected that he is committed to their fight for their rights.

Chris Evans, the actor known for his impersonation of Captain America on the screen, also sent a message of love to the entire LGBT community (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender People), apologizing for the message "What was sent today", and making it clear that the government was not speaking on behalf of "all of us."

Even those who once supported Trump, such as singer Jackie Evancho, who was one of the few to want to act in his presidential inauguration, expressed their "disillusionment" with the president for the decision to leave the transgender toilets decision. In a different tweet, Evancho told the President that since she gave her the honor of singing at her inauguration, give her the honor and her sister (who is transgender) of meeting to talk to her about the rights of this community.

The 2007 Oscar-nominated actress, Ellen Page, also sent her protest stating among other things that it is necessary to protect transgender youth "against the cruelty that hurts our children."

While Katy Perry addressed her friends in the “trans” community, indicating to whom to go to fight for their rights. Perry has almost 96 million followers on her Twitter account, and the message was echoed by thousands of them, who immediately relayed it.

These are just a few examples of celebrities who continue to protest through their accounts on social networks. The list continues to grow.
