Major Jones may very well be exempt from all physical fitness and height-weight standards.
...
Physical Fitness Testing Physical fitness is a fundamental requirement of your service. You are required to meet the physical fitness testing standards based upon your gender marker in your Service’s personnel data system and in accordance with Service regulations. If temporarily unable to meet the standards, it may be necessary to request an ETP or medical waiver.
While the 6-month exemption from physical fitness standards is not unusual for servicemembers undergoing rehab after an injury, applying it to someone for failing to make height-weight standards is bizarre. Further, awarding that rehab period for what is essentially a self-inflicted wound is, in my view, an offense against good order and discipline.
Given what I’ve seen of the command climate in the military today, I really have to question whether any commander wishing to stay in command or get promoted again would really feel they have the authority to process a transgender person for discharge for failure to meed height-weight or physical fitness standards no matter how many six-month exemptions they had to grant. I would be willing to bet that for most units containing transgender personnel, the exemptions are of indefinite length unless they wish to conform to standards.
More than the exemption from the height-weight standard, the standard for deployability makes the system manifestly unfair. A transgender can’t be assigned anywhere that doesn’t provide the level of medical/psychiatric care they are receiving. If a transgender undergoes surgical mutilation, the chances of them ever being deployed to an austere environment or remote locations is probably zero. So while healthy men and women have their lives interrupted by serving in unpleasant places, the Full Monty transgender doesn’t have that problem.

You’ve spent 15 years enlisted in the military.
You’ve been on 8 combat tours, have a few KIA bracelets on your wrists, & you missed your 2nd child’s birth because you were overseas.
In walks your new commander, Major “Rachel” Jones.
...
The bottom line, if I can say that in a post of transgenders, is that there is no reason for the military to accommodate transgenders. Any contribution they make is more than offset by their drag on unit efficiency and esprit. President Trump was right when he pulled the plug on this nonsense, and we need to go back to that standard when we get a sane president.
This is your enemy’s military even though you pay for it. They do not fight for anyone’s freedom nor for the interests of anyone outside the ruling class.
It was bad enough having a REMF for a CO. I can’t imagine having a transgender as a CO.
That guy looks like he could stop quite a few bullets and lots of shrapnel all by himself. Might save some good soldiers.
Rat Party Headquarters and their marionette,The Big Guy,are deliberately destroying the United States Armed Forces.
He was wrote up for destruction of government property.
Look at that filthy degenerate POS. I’ll say no more on a public forum.
Does anything the government does shock anybody anymore?
They’ll take anybody
Maybe all the trannies are Chiefs.
.
All part of the plan begun at noon on January 20, 2009.
And they get the transitional surgery on the public's dime and drugs for the rest of their lives, on active duty and through the VA.
A normal straight person has to beg and plead for any disability incurred while on active duty.
Any wonder why trannies are flocking to the military?
Which standards would they have had to meet? The men’s or the women’s?
And would they require new locker roomsrooms or use one of the others?
The communists in power have corrupted the entire fedgov, including the military.
And R’s won’t back impeachment.
The whole system sucks!
