Would having your legal gender changed from male to female be enough to get out of the draft?

Actually, the question has an interesting answer.

"People who were assigned female at birth are not required to register with the Selective Service regardless of their current gender or transition status."

"People who were assigned male at birth are required to register with the Selective Service within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. This includes those who may have transitioned before or since then."

Looks like all that male "privilege" is difficult to lose.

No. The USA army is paying for gender surgery.

For whatever it is worth, a draft would be very hard to implement right now

This country is more than worth fighting and dying for. I don't think the military would like you. Also, I think you need to be legally trans, and have years worth of doctor and phyciatric papers and consent. People like you, who don't want to fight for our flawed yet good country, should be a conscious objector. That will get you out of combat. This is a vent/support sub, please be knowledgeable that some of us are patriotic, and think your statement is flawed. My apologies if this came off as rude.

I refuse to be conscripted for a country that doesn't deserve that sort of sacrifice

So, which country have you applied for citizenship in? I mean, you obviously wouldn't want to live in and support a country you don't feel is worth defending.

Don't be a pussy
It'd have to be a big goddamn war
Wanna get out of the draft? Suck start a shotgun or break your kneecap.
