We need to stop lumping everything under the LGBTQ+ umbrella as if it's one single cause. It's not.
Pretending it is invites backlash against all gay people who already fought hard just to be accepted.

The common cause is exactly the thing you refuse to do for transgenders:
Accept them.

"When the military makes policies affecting transgender individuals, that is not an attack on gays."

Yes it is.
It's an attack on gays and straights and everything in between.
Because your whole argument here is gay and straight are things that people are, separate from being transgender.

Trans rights are human rights.

Protect trans kids.

"Homosexuals are not asking the government to finance their fetish."

Sure they are. The military health insurance pays for Viagra just the same, whether you're straight or gay.

"Homosexuals do not consider their reproductive organs a birth defect "

Plenty of straight women consider their reproductive organs a birth defect and have them surgically modified. Australia is #1 in the world for labiaplasty, presumably because of their beauty standards as expressed in legal pornographpy.

Homosexuality is an orientation.
Transexualism is a fetish.

Everything is a fetish. You just don't understand what a fetish is. If you're an ass man, or a tits man, I've got news for you.

"No one owes a person cosmetic care for the rest of their life for something they consider a "birth defect" when their body was perfectly healthy to begin with. Healthy enough to get them enlisted."

No one owes anyone anything, so you're just picking a very specific thing that isn't owed, like it's somehow different.

"I suppose it depends on whether they would need costly medical treatments on an ongoing basis."

How costly? It costs $100-200K simply to recruit a soldier and put them through six weeks of basic.
