A transgender celebrity who appeared on America's Next Top Model wrote an open letter to Caitlyn Jenner, saying: 'We do not need you to save us.'

Model Isis King detailed 'the amount of privilege that was thrown in [her] face' when she met Jenner in October 2016 and slammed the former decathlete for her inability to relate to other members of the transgender community.

The criticism came after Jenner released a video message on Thursday calling President Donald Trump's decision to roll back protections for transgender students a 'disaster'.

Jenner, who spoke at the Republican National Convention and attended the Liberty Ball at Trump's inauguration, had expressed support for the Donald during his presidential bid.

King said she bumped into Jenner at the TransNation Queen USA Pageant in Los Angeles, California, in October while she was waiting for the elevator.

Her excitement soon turned to shock, with King writing: 'Caitlyn and her handler walked in front of me as if I had not been waiting and straight into the empty elevator.

'I was stunned when not only did Caitlyn and her handler walk into the elevator, but the woman who was ushering me joined them and told me: "I'm sorry. Can you wait until the next one comes?'

King said: 'The elevator shut in my face. I was completely stunned because the elevator could clearly hold at least eight people. I could not believe this happened to me, and immediately felt as if I had just been told to move to the back of the bus.

'It was as if I was not good enough, not worthy enough, not rich enough, not famous enough to ride with these three white women. Wasn't I also there as a special guest?'

King seemed troubled that Jenner had positioned herself as a representative for the transgender community in the wake of her own personal encounter.

The model wrote: 'I am finally breaking my silence about this experience because I just saw the clip of Caitlyn calling out Donald Trump and it reminded me that internal issues of color and class within the trans community have to be dealt with.

'I believe it clouds Caitlyn's ability to actually relate to this community — our community — that she advocates for.'

She addressed Jenner directly and said: "Caitlyn: I have, like so many women of color, helped blazed trails for our sisters, brothers and siblings, and I have seen how you treated me. We do not need you to save us.'

King was responding to Jenner's video message released Thursday. In it, she criticized President Donald Trump's decision to reverse Barack Obama's transgender bathroom directive

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

The 67-year-old released a video message Thursday night, responding to a letter issued by the Justice and Education Departments.

The letter rolled back the Obama-era directive advising public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their chosen gender.

Jenner, who said she had a message 'from one Republican to another', addressed Trump and said: 'This is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.'

Jenner also issued a message of hope to transgender children and 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 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.'

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.

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.

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

Jenner has become one of the country's most famous transgender celebrities since she revealed her gender identity in 2015.

King was initially supportive of the attention Jenner received, saying: 'Any time you can bring more awareness to the struggle and reality of so many people, it’s helpful.'

King was the first transgender person to appear on America's Next Top Model. She has also appeared on the TV show Strut.
