I would feel pretty uncomfortable with that, as I don't have plans to have a phalloplasty.  EVER.  The solution can't just be, remove your bits that we don't like.  Not every transman avoids bottom surgery because of the cost, but I don't feel like that ought to remove them from being able to serve if they wanted to.  Also, where does this put any genderqueer folks?  I would assume if one was allowed to join as gender neutral, you'd probably have to choose men or women's quarters anyways, but if someone wnats to be a man or wowman I don't beleive they MUST have their body altered surgically just to fit in...

How do you see yourself fitting in as a man without a penis (with a female crotch with or without a vagina). How would you manage in the barracks, showers, restroom, etc?
