Anita says all the time "what's personal is political." So, she's interested to see how a new presidential administration will affect the ability of transgender Americans to serve in the U.S. military, which has long suffered from barriers to equity for troops and veterans from marginalized communities.
Meet the guests:

- Marine Sgt. Samson Gibbs talks about how he's experienced more support than transphobia as an active duty military.
