People are sharing pictures of themselves wearing nail polish to show support for Bruce Jenner.

An Australian radio show has encouraged people to paint their nails and share them on social media with the hashtag #PaintYourNailsForBruce.

Jenner, an Olympic gold medal winner and reality TV star, came out as trans on Friday.

It appears to be inspired by Jenner’s comment on being asked what he was most looking forward to about transitioning – “To be able to have my nail polish on long enough that it actually chips off.”

The radio station then offered nail polish to people outside Sydney’s Central Station.


 

On Saturday, Laverne Cox spoke about her support of Jenner and what he said when she spoke to him.
