Women who identify as men, however, aren’t required to register for the U.S. military draft.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Transgender advocates who have received vocal support from the Biden administration got a reality check this week when reports emerged that men who call themselves women must still sign up for the military draft under federal law. Women who identify as men, meanwhile, aren’t required to register.
According to guidance from the United States Selective Service System (SSS), “U.S. 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,” the agency states.
The SSS cites the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in defining “transgender” people as those “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).”
According to the OPM, a “transgender woman” refers to a man who identifies as a woman, and a “transgender man” refers to a woman who identifies as a man.
