Nobody is demanding special rights. They're just demanding the same rights that others have, much like when black people and gays petitioned for the same right to serve in the military. So if you're okay with a transgender person being a "kick-ass" soldier, I'm not so sure where your problem actually lies. Stop searching for conflicts that aren't there and maybe you'll be able to calm the fuck down.
The problem is that rights are not well-defined, and people will push the envelope for ever. Look at Canada, where a misuse of gender pronouns is now legislated as a hate crime. In language, there's a serious movement to establish very many new gender pronouns in order to recognize every individual's "right" to have their unique place on various sexual and identity axes represented fully-- and at this rate, it will be a crime not to embrace this bullshit.
Fuck it, I'm officially coming out as a bensexual, and from now on, refer to me as follows: "bennyboy is an asshole. Bene should not assert benis special snowflake status because nobody gives a shit about benim.
