I disagree with your premise that “support for the military” necessarily must include supporting inclusion of transgender people in the services. If you had a different example that didn’t include poisoning the well, that might be more useful.

How about “personal responsibility” as a conservative value? It’s one of mine, and it isn’t based on bigotry. If you just want to say “is so”, knock yourself out.
