I agree with the ban. Any other medical condition of a similar nature would get you the boot. That said Congress should settle this one way or the other.
I wanna say the ban doesn't apply to people who can work with those of the same sex and present themselves in a cisgender manner with no problem.
If you're trans but aren't going to make that anybody else's problem, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to serve in the military.
The issue is the hormones. Since it is "life-saving" care, they need it in the field, which isn't conducive to being deployed. If someone is trans, but doesn't take hormones, let them stay in.
I also have no issue paying for hormones or surgery when they retire. I do not think trans benefits should be cut for people who have RETIRED from the military. Hell if someone wants a boob job, I have no issues when they retire.
