It's a rare case but still written in military law.

Can you think of a scenario where it would violate civil rights?

Not sure though on how many soldiers are having gender identity issues though. I do not think that would be something they would have to address until the situation actually presented itself.

When was the last time you heard a sevicemen have to use his penis in their job? However if a male has a malformation/no discernable penis/multiple sexual organs he'd be denied entry.

Women are also, naturally, better shooters.

I was a little vague. I meant physical training requirements. women can be slower with less upper body and abdominal stength and share the same career field with men who have been required to perform to a higher standard. Why? This is a requirement to be a member and must be completed initially and bi-annually(not sure for every branch).
There is a barrage of differences between the military and civilian life. I personally am just worried overall that this generation's qualms with unfairness will have more serious repercussions than foreseen(not just military, all encompassing).
I appreciate the inisghts.
