I have several 30ish military women in my family who are all applauding this move. 

Frankly this whole issue is because war is a LOT less Hell than it used to be. Put these people on Guadalcanal in 1942 or at Shiloh in 1862 and they'd be begging to go home. In fact, much of our societal unrest right now is because life is so much easier today than even 50 years ago.

Why are they applauding it?

That's the part I don't understand.  If a man wants to be surgically altered to appear to be female, fine, his choice.  Personally, I believe such a desire to be a form of mental illness, but that's just one man's opinion.  I certainly won't treat that person any differently in business or discriminate in any way.  You live your life, I'll live mine.

There is a segment of the population, however, that seems to be looking for every opportunity to promote increasingly diversifying ,non-heterosexual, "orientation".  I don't attach any special significance to the first transgender anything, I'm all about the qualifications for the job.   I'm certainly not going to celebrate it, simply because the individual is transgender.

I meant why are the women supporting trans people being in the military? I don't try to understand why people do those things to themselves.
