A US Army soldier has opened up about her fear of having her job stripped from her after Donald Trump announced a ban on transgender troops. Captain Jennifer Sims (left), who was once known as Jonathan Sims (right), read her President's tweets in horror last week when he imposed the blanket ban. She said: 'I read the tweets while I was at work and you know it was devastating because I still have work to do and here I am reading basically what sounds like the president of the United States - who is the commander in chief, he is the ultimate boss of the military - telling me and anybody else that is transgender that we are fired.' The soldier had only come out to comrades in April this year having kept it a secret for years. Trump's move sent her spiralling into a pit of despair.
