The biggest story that came out of the White House yesterday was a controversial reversal on transgender bathroom usage. Staunch Republican supporter and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner even took huge offense to the ruling. Jenner was quoted as saying “From one Republican to another, this is a disaster,” Jenner, who was introduced at the Republican National Convention last year as “the world’s most famous Republican,” said on Twitter. “You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.”
Letters from the Justice and Education departments late Wednesday notified the Supreme Court and the nation’s public schools that the administration was changing its position on the issue, reversing former President Barack Obama’s instructions that public schools must allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their chosen gender identities.
Needless to say the internet was up in fumes yesterday about this new policy. Of course Colbert was there to criticize but also poke fun at Donald Trump insisting that there would be one bathroom privilege that will never change, and that would be toilet tweeting. No matter what sex you are you should never not be allowed to make the all important tweet, no matter where you’re sitting.
