About the Episode
Friday marks the deadline for the estimated 4,200 active-duty transgender military members to accept what the Defense Department calls "voluntary separation." Those who volunteer to leave may be eligible for separation pay while transgender troops who don’t leave voluntarily will be kicked out. Nick Schifrin spoke to two transgender service members about the choice they face.
