Thomson ReutersCHICAGO (Reuters) - Transgender Americans are openly enlisting in the US military for the first time, saying they feel confident that court rulings blocking Republican President Donald Trump's ban on their service will stand. Nicholas Bade, a 37-year-old transgender man who is among the first of what advocates expect will be a small but historic surge of enlistments, has wanted to join the military since he was young. "I just couldn't face the idea of doing it as a traditional female," Bade said as he carried a folder of medical documents into a Chicago Air Force recruiting office last week. Military officials do not know how many transgender people have begun to enlist since Jan.
