You can't just choose to ignore..."“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail,”

because it doesn't fit your ideal.  The WHOLE basis of the military discipline is conformity.  Hence the "STANDARDization" of hairstyles and uniform.  Even the spokesman says..."“The military is often the last resort for people who can’t find jobs because of discrimination,” Rodriguez-Roldan said. She said the transgender community “will not stop fighting” for justice."

Does THAT sound like people who conform?
