President Donald Trump abruptly announced on Wednesday that the U.S. will no longer allow transgender people to serve in the U.S. military.
Trump said he came to the decision after discussing the matter with his generals and military advisers.
“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail,” he wrote.
Although the policy has not officially changed yet, in the wake of the announcement, many designers and celebrities took to social media to speak out against the ban. Below, see what some of them had to say.
