Despite passing an executive order mandating that military members be treated according to their gender identity and not their biological sex, the Biden administration still requires biological men who identify as women to register for the military draft, while those who are "born female and have changed their gender to male" are off the hook.
The Selective Service tweeted a reminder recently telling parents that even "if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS."
\u201cParents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS. Learn more about who needs to register at https://t.co/GYbRK99c09.\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
The tweet elicited a range of angry and confused reactions, with many parents suggesting that their sons would identify as women to avoid the draft.
\u201c@SSS_gov My son's a girl now so we good\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov For the purpose of SSS my son will identify as a girl starting with his 18th birthday. \n\nCheckmate fascist\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov If my son identifies as a daughter are they still required to Register?\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov Just make sure your sons identify as daughters and they are all good!\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
However, according to a
chart provided by the Selective Service System, almost "all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants residing in the United States who are 18 through 25 years of age" are required to register, and individuals "who are born male and have changed their gender to female" are expressly included.
\u201c@KerryHale17 @SSS_gov When they need you to go to war, the US government acknowledges that a person can NOT change sex.\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov So our government DOES know the difference between biological men and women.\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@pea86086401 @SSS_gov They actually say if you were born a male but identify as female, you still have to register. But if you were born a female and identify or transitioned into male, you don\u2019t have to register.\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov "US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register."\n\nBut I thought gender was just a social construct?\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov I was reliably informed that we are unable to define what is male or female\u2026\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@JennaEllisEsq @SSS_gov My question is why all the focus on registering for the draft \n#ForcedVax\n#ConscriptedMilitary\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov We...we going to war soon?\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
\u201c@SSS_gov Since the media likes to tout that illegal immigrants pay taxes and have drivers licenses, I'm assuming they also qualify for the draft also? Or are they exempt?\u201d— Selective Service (@Selective Service) 1665180073
