Caitlyn Jenner emerged for her morning coffee in Malibu, California on Friday after delivering a strong message to Donald Trump .

The 67-year-old wore a cowl-neck top with black lace detail and a matching cardigan worn over slim-fitting blue jeans.

In an Instagram video posted on Thursday, the gold-medalist criticized the President's decision to reverse Barack Obama's transgender bathroom directive.

Addressing the president, Caitlyn said she had a message 'from one Republican to another'.

The reality TV star, who appeared to support Trump in the race for the White House, said: 'This is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.'

Trump's administration announced on Wednesday that it lifted federal guidelines that said transgender students should be allowed to use public school bathrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identity.

In the video, Jenner issued a message of hope to transgender children, saying: 'You're winning. I know it doesn't feel it today or every day, but you're winning.

'Very soon we will win full freedom nation-wide and it is going to be with bipartisan support,' she said.

She went on to denounce bullies, calling them 'sick' and 'weak', before going after Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Jenner said: 'Apparently even becoming the Attorney General isn't enough to cure some people of their insecurities.

'As proof the Supreme Court will soon hear a very important Title IX case, thanks to the courage of a very brave young man, Gavin Grimm.

'Mr. President, we'll see you in court.'

Grimm is a female-born transgender high school student who was mentioned by actress Laverne Cox at the Grammy Awards.

The Supreme Court will hear Grimm's case on March 28, and determine whether he will be allowed to use the boys' bathroom at Gloucester High School in Virginia under Title IX, the federal law prohibiting gender-based discrimination.

If the court rules in favor of Grimm, the decision will become the law of the land, binding the Trump administration and the states.

Jenner ended her message by saying: 'This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me'

Jenner ended her video by saying: 'Finally I have a message for President Trump, from, well, one Republican to another. This is a disaster. And you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.'

After Trump said in April that transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they choose, Jenner filmed herself going into the women's bathroom at New York's Trump International Hotel and Tower.

Jenner later went on to praise Trump for being 'very much behind the LGBT community' in a chat with STAT last June.

The 67-year-old transgender reality star initially supported Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

But in an March 2016 episode of I Am Cait, Jenner said she would vote for Trump without a moment's hesitation if she had to choose between him and Hillary Clinton in the general election.

While daughter Kim Kardashian revealed Jenner was voting for Trump in an interview with Wonderland magazine, the 67-year-old tried to say she hadn't 'outwardly supported anybody' in the race.
