In the US Donald Trump has announced that transgender people won't be accepted in the military.

The President said he slapped the ban down because "military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail".

It stands in stark contrast to the British Army who allowed a trans woman on the front line for the first time last year.
