To be honest, if a country is gonna implement a draft or some form of compulsory service requirement, it should be gender neutral, and apply to their citizens universally, with no bearing on gender identity. By all means keep the physical fitness standards to ensure force effectiveness, but possession of one or another particular combinations of genitalia should not play into the equation at all.
On one hand, I agree with you, on the other hand I don’t want to impose a military draft on 50-ish % of the population. On the other other hand, true gender equality would be if it didn’t apply to anyone regardless of gender cause fuck drafts
Draft bad
Gender discrimination bad
but in this case, somehow, they cancel each other out.

I agree that gender discrimination is bad, but progress needs to be about a abolishing military and drafts, rather than making it “diverse”.
