No, catering. Just let them serve like everyone else.
You misunderstood my use of the word "catering". I meant it in terms of submitting to the desires of a small group of people who want to do something.
But accommodations would have to be made. When women were integrated into the service separate facilities needed to be built and new organizational structures put in place to deal with woman specific issues (like women's health issues).
I have no idea what changes might be needed to integrate transgendered people into the military but military service today is not an obligation, nor is it a right. Given that the benefit from having transgendered people in the service - in terms of broadened candidate pool or some specific benefit that only transgendered people can bring to the table - has to outweigh the cost of integrating or the money is simply not well spent.
