Just hours after the Trump administration's direct attack on transgender kids, protesters gathered outside the White House. It was probably the largest crowd of people supporting transgender rights ever! It was yuuuuuge! Larger than Trump's inauguration!

Gavin Grimm was one of the speakers,

We're not discouraged. And we're going to keep fighting like we have been and keep fighting for the right thing.

It was certainly not in any way disheartening or discouraging,. I think that everybody is just gearing up to do that much more and fight that much harder.

Just seeing the news about removing laws protecting trans people. This isn’t about politics. It’s about human rights, and it’s not okay.

--Ellen DeGeneris

Oh yeah! Because #trans students are the REAL threat. Jesus. #LGBT #LGBTQ #wtf @BetsyDeVosED @jeffsessions

--Kathy Griffin

What could possibly motivate a blind and cruel attack on young children like this? These transgender students simply want to go to school in the morning without fear of discrimination or harassment. The consequences of this decision will no doubt be heartbreaking.
