Washington (CNN) Caitlyn Jenner said she's been lobbying lawmakers for weeks and called for legislation to reverse President Donald Trump and allow transgender people to serve in the military.

"Today, I'm very politically involved," Jenner told Variety . "Nobody really knows it. I do it very quietly because I have been so criticized by the liberal side of the media. I can get more things done if I don't stick my nose into everything publicly."

Jenner said she has met with about 50 members of the House and Senate, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, as well as members of the Trump administration, to discuss equality, according to Variety. "I've met with just about everybody," Jenner said.

She also said there should be protections for transgender service members and that the US needs "hard-core legislation, laws on the book of equality."

"It's going to take some time, but we're working on it," she said.
