Transgender soldiers take Donald Trump to court over military ban

Transgender soldiers are taking Donald Trump to court in a bid to crush his ban on their military service.

Trump prompted a backlash around the world last month by announcing on Twitter that he would not "accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity".


Now that decision is being challenged by six trans members of the US military, including the Army, Navy and Air Force.Their bid has been organised by the American Civil Liberties Union, which said the ban was discriminatory and violates the constitution.
