The Biden administration is requiring most males who are ages 18 to 25 to register for the Selective Service – including individuals who identify as transgender.
This means people born biologically male will have to sign up in the event that there is a draft.
“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,” reads the guidance on requirements from the Selective Service System.
The Selective Service does not require those who born biologically female but identify as transgender to register for the draft.
According to The Post Millennial, when Biden first took office, he enacted an executive order “that said that those who identify as transgender should be treated by the military according to their gender identity and not according to their biological sex.”
“This could mean that those transgender males who identify as women would serve alongside women, in women’s units, in the event that they were called up by Selective Service,” the outlet continued.
The following is the definition of transgender per the Office of Personnel Management (OPM): people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from the sex assigned to them at birth (e.g. the sex listed on an original birth certificate).
For those who do not believe they should sign up for the draft, the Selective Service requests a letter explaining the individual’s reasoning.
“Individuals who have changed their gender to male will be asked to complete a Status Information Letter (SIL) request form and provide a copy of their birth certificate,” they write.
A Status Information Letter gives the individual the opportunity to “describe, in detail, the circumstances you believe prevented you from registering and provide copies of documents” showing those reasons why.
“OPM Guidance further explains that the term ‘transgender woman’ is typically used to refer to someone who was assigned the male sex at birth but who identifies as a female. Likewise, OPM provides that the term ‘transgender man’ typically is used to refer to someone who was assigned the female sex at birth but who identifies as male,” the Selective Service states.
