Following President Trump’s Twitter announcement banning transgender troops from serving in the military, Jimmy Fallon invited comedian and transgender woman Patti Harrison on The Tonight Show. “When I saw the headline this morning at first I just read, ‘Donald Trump Bans Transgender People.’ And I was like, ‘Yep, sounds like him,’†Harrison joked. While she admitted that she doesn’t necessarily want to join the armed forces, she also used her segment to shine a spotlight on the trans people who are currently serving, or who have served in the past, including Kristin Beck, a decorated retired Navy Seal.
