What does this have to do with anything? It is obvious that YOU know absolutely nothing of the military.
There are reasons that many applicants are turned down for military service. One reason is their fitness and another is how much it will cost the government. The cost to the gov for transgenders is too high, and has too many downsides to warrant even entertaining the idea. There is a difference between gays in the military and transgenders, or better known as gender confused.
Come back and discuss this subject once you have an inkling of what REAL military members deal with every single day. Especially, those that have really been in combat and know how stressful survival can be.
