Trans troops fight to continue serving despite Trump’s ban

Season 2025 Episode 200 | 8m 12s

Thousands of transgender troops are facing removal from the U.S. military because the Trump administration is banning them from serving. The Pentagon says they can either self-identify and leave voluntarily with extended benefits, or face involuntary separation. Evident Media’s Dan Ming speaks with some of the transgender military members who are fighting the ban in court.
