The Selective Service should be abolished, not made more efficient and equitable.

    AFAIK this is only required if you apply for financial aid for college.

      Nope. Nearly all US citizens assigned male at birth age 18-25 must register, with very few exceptions.

        That’s transphobic. Trans women shouldn’t have to sign up for the draft.

            If I were an American I’d be calling their office and saying I can’t fill out their form, and appearing in court to defend my violation of the law on the grounds that it’s impossible to legally follow. Lying about my sex on a government form would be illegal, and I don’t want to break the law.

      It is required your all males. That said, you will generally only have an issue when applying for financial aid or if you want to work for the federal government.
