You keep using that word (bigotry). I don’t think it means what you think it means. It certainly doesn’t mean “someone who disagrees with me”.

People can be refused acceptance into the military for any number of reasons which have nothing to do with their fitness to serve (e.g., criminal record, level of education).

You obviously believe that transgender people should be able to serve in the military. You’re entitled to your point of view. However, I think it’s counter-productive to dismiss any opposing point of view as bigotry. It rarely convinces anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.
