Last month, Trump had announced his decision to ban transgender men and women from US military on Twitter. "Prejudice, not national defence, is behind President Trumps cruel decision to kick transgender troops out of the military," she said. "A study commissioned by the Department of Defence itself found that the cost of providing medically necessary care for transgender troops would be miniscule. If you doubt the ability of transgender troops to complete their mission, you should do your homework. Transgender troops have served in some of our most elite units and graduated from our premier military academies - preventing them from serving is wrong and its un-American."
