The Transgender Man At The Center Of Donald Trump’s Military Ban Is Speaking Out

“I was serving without an issue. Why are they trying to make an issue where none existed previously?” Nicolas Talbott said.
During the early days of his basic training for the U.S. Army, there came a time when Nicolas Talbott stood with 64 other men preparing to answer questions from a superior who had arrived to inspect their quarters. As inspections ended, everyone was asked why they joined the military.
Until that moment, Talbott had only told a few fellow trainees that he was transgender.
“My strategy was to blend in and be judged solely on my performance,” he said.
But that day, after inspections, the words came tumbling out for all to hear when it came time for him to answer why he was there.
“I said, ‘I wanted to prove that transgender people like me can do this and we have something to contribute,’” Talbott recalled saying in an interview with HuffPost on Wednesday.
