Transgender Man At Center Of Trump’s Military Ban Speaks Out
SHARE

During the initial phase of his basic training in the U.S. Army, Nicolas Talbott found himself standing alongside 64 other men, getting ready to face questions from a superior inspecting their living quarters. As the inspections wrapped up, they were asked why they decided to enlist in the military.

Up until that point, Talbott had only confided in a few fellow trainees about being transgender.

“My plan was to blend in and be evaluated solely based on my performance,” he explained.

However, on that day, after the inspections were over, when it was his turn to answer why he was there, the words spilled out for everyone to hear.

“I said, ‘I wanted to prove that transgender people like me can do this and we have something to contribute,’” Talbott recounted in an interview with JS.

Following that moment, Talbott mentioned that his fellow trainees gathered around him in support.

“They said, ‘Nic, we had no idea. We never would have known. We don’t think any less of you,’” he shared.

One individual even approached him and expressed admiration, acknowledging that Talbott had an “extra layer of substance” to deal with. In response to President Donald Trump’s executive order banning individuals with gender dysphoria from serving in the military, Talbott and six other transgender service members took legal action against the administration.

After a series of legal proceedings, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled that Trump’s order was discriminatory. The legal battle between Talbott and the other trans service members has continued to the appellate level.

When the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the ban on transgender military service, Talbott received numerous calls from former colleagues offering their support.

Today, as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve, Talbott believes that being open about his identity has led to meaningful conversations and enhanced camaraderie among service members.

He emphasized that acceptance and mutual respect among service members, regardless of their gender identity, is crucial for the effective functioning of the military.

Talbott’s case, along with the legal challenges faced by other transgender service members, underscores the ongoing struggle for equality and inclusion within the U.S. military.

Despite the obstacles, Talbott remains committed to serving his country and proving that his gender identity does not hinder his ability to excel in his role.

His dedication and achievements in the military reflect his unwavering commitment to his duty and his belief in the values of service and integrity.

As the legal battle continues, Talbott’s resilience and determination stand as a testament to the resilience of the transgender community in the face of discrimination and adversity.
