\u201cThe administration's ban on transgender servicemembers begins today. It is abhorrent. Every American should be able to serve their country, and I can't believe we're still debating that in 2019. We have to reverse this as soon as we can.\u201d

\u201cTrump & Pence's #TransMilitaryBan goes into effect today. At this difficult moment for trans service members, their families, and those wishing to serve, please know that a grateful nation supports you & we will never stop fighting for you.\u201d

\u201cTrans people across the nation: We see you. The #TransMilitaryBan is a step in the President\u2019s attempt to discriminate against our LGBTQ+ community. Through my role on @HASCDems I\u2019ll keep fighting for equality for our transgender troops. #ProtectTransTroops\u201d

\u201cTrump\u2019s ban on patriotic, qualified Americans who want to serve our country is wrong. I stand with transgender servicemembers who strengthen our military and fight to protect our democracy & freedoms. #FightTheBan #ProtectTransTroops #TransMilitaryBan\u201d

\u201cMake no mistake, @realDonaldTrump\u2019s #TransMilitaryBan will be defeated. Our past, present and future is built on a promise that everyone counts. To all the trans servicemembers & their families, please know this country sees you & we are grateful for your sacrifice.\u201d

\u201cLet me be clear - there is no evidence that service by transgender people negatively impacts unit cohesion, effectiveness, or readiness. Trump's #TransMilitaryBan is rooted solely in unsubstantiated & discriminatory claims. #FightTheBan #ProtectTransTroops https://t.co/sFZSwZxAvI\u201d

\u201cThis is not just an LGBTQ issue or a military issue. This is a human rights issue. Last month I proudly voted for HRes 124 to oppose and lift the #TransMilitaryBan. Today the ban goes into effect but we will continue to #FightTheBan and #ProtectTransTroops.\u201d

\u201cDonald Trump's discriminatory and cruel #TransMilitaryBan goes into effect today, but the fight to protect these patriots is far from over. Transgender people who have volunteered to serve in our military make this nation safer. We see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.\u201d

\u201cTo the transgender Americans who serve in our Armed Forces: \n\nYou deserve better. \n\nWe stand with you in opposing Trump\u2019s reprehensible, vile, and discriminatory ban.\nhttps://t.co/jAYb8EnnJB\u201d

\u201cTrump\u2019s ban on Trans military members goes into effect today. I\u2019ve joined @glaad in changing my profile photo to the #ampersand which signifies that I stand with ALL marginalized communities. Today I raise my fist in the air in solidarity with my #Trans fam. Will U?#NewProfilePic\u201d
