Transgender service members say they face 'heartbreaking' decision amid Trump ban: Leave military or get kicked out.

The Supreme Court ruled last week that the Trump administration can enforce the ban amid the pending lawsuits.

The three service members said they feel that the decision has put their careers in jeopardy.

Transgender service members say the administration's words are antithetical to their coming out journeys.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) allowed LGBTQ+ individuals to serve in the military as long as they didn't disclose sexual orientation.

The policy was repealed in 2011 but transgender service members were still banned from openly serving until 2016 .
