18 year old males are still required to register for selective service

But in this day and age of gender equality females are *not* required to
register.

So, if a male decides he's a female, then there is no requirement for him to register? After all, a
'mentally' transgendered person is allowed to use either restroom at Target.


Interesting concept. Maybe there is a 4-Q classification for them.
I know in the 60s being gay would keep you out but the other
ramifications of that kept most from going that route.
It would be the same as walking around with an undesirable discharge
on your back (what happened if you "came out" in uniform).
It was commonly called "going to talk to the chaplain" and pretty much
automatic.
