But for the most part they physically can not do the job. 

Women could not "do the job" of firemen either. Lacked the upper body strength to pass the physical requirements. When the fire chief of Los Angeles made this public, rather than refuse women entry into the fire department, they fired the chief.

This kind of stuff  is/was not unusual in California civil service. There are many people working in certain occupations who should not be there. Social engineering types ultimately control the hiring process. Wonder who controls the process of placing a tranny as an Elder in a Christian church? Considering the number of likely qualified men with a wife and children who recognize his leadership compared with the number of transgendered in the congregation, are we to believe that a transgendered person is the best choice? Adventist congregations are dumbfounded and astonied at the rise of the sexual deviant in the denomination but do nothing about it. 

Years ago, there was a YouTube interview with a young female pastor who was placed by the conference over a church. Half the congregation left, either the church or that congregation. Probably something similar is going to take place with homosexuals. They will be placed in leadership positions, regardless of what  the congregation wants, or the deluded congregations will welcome them.

One of the SDA pastors pushing for homosexual inclusion was under psychiatric care.  He ultimately left the denominational ministry, is doing counselling to help gays accept themselves. Working with AIDS patients, many of my coworkers were either gay or lesbian. The agency provided counselling sessions to help the workers deal with their own issues, not of only grief at seeing so many young people die a miserable death but of their own sexuality. Most of them, if they could, would probably choose a straight lay in the missionary position to a form of sexual expression which, in those days, was potentially lethal. Choosing Jesus was always an option but most of them hated Him, Christians, church, i.e., they loved darkness rather than light.
