The Insanity Continues: Debate Rages Over Whether Transgender “Men” Should Register for the Draft

. . .[A] GOP congressman has a novel proposal aimed at transgender Americans: Make transgender men register for the draft.

The idea comes in the form of an amendment to the annual defense policy bill proposed by far-right Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. The amendment would change the requirements to register for Selective Service by defining “male citizen of the United States” as including a “transgender person who identifies as male.”

“If they want to be treated like men, then they need to do what other men do and register for the Selective Service and get called up like everybody else,” Burchett said in a statement to Military.com.

“This group of people is more protected than any other group, and it’s not right,” he added about a group of people who have been the subject of more than 200 proposed state laws this year targeting their rights and are four times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than non-transgender people.

Transgender people have been able to serve openly in the military since the start of the Biden administration. But under current law, no one who was assigned female at birth is required to register for the draft regardless of whether they have transitioned to male, according to the National Center for Transgender Equality.
