The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 37: Trans Lives in Uniform and on the Ice

The Big Story is about the US Air Force retracting pension-award letters to a dozen transgender service members with 15-18 years of service who were being drummed out of the military due to Trump’s ban.

Brianne also talks about her forthcoming book, Skating Out of the Vault: A Trans Woman’s Escape from the Game of Masculinity.
