Some transgender people who hoped to enlist in the military have moved on to other pursuits, but one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit refuses to give up on a career aspiration that dates to his childhood.
For almost a year, a Trump administration policy has been in place barring transgender Americans from enlisting.
But 26-year-old Nic Talbott of Ohio says he believes military service is the ideal career for him.
He keeps busy as a substitute teacher while pursing a graduate degree at Kent State University.
He is part of a pending lawsuit seeking to overturn the ban.
