Transgender women who were born male are still required to sign up for the Selective Service in the event of a military draft.
The policy, which has already been in effect for some time, gained new attention after the Selective Service System issued a reminder for men between the ages of 18 and 25 to register for the service.
A transgender section on the SSS's website, to which its tweet links, stressed that all biological males are required to sign up for the draft, and this applies to citizens or immigrants of the United States who were born male and had their gender changed to female.
For transgender men who were listed as female at the time of their birth, the SSS does not require them to register.
US policy states that transgender women who were registered as males when they were born must register for the military draft with the Selective Service, while transgender men who were recorded as female when they were born don’t have to sign up for the draft.
In 2020, the National Center for Transgender Equality demanded that congress retract the clause, arguing that it creates “needless hardships” for trans and intersex individuals.
“Congress should either eliminate the Selective Service System or follow the commission’s recommendation that it be completely gender neutral,”
Trans women are still legally required to sign up for a potential US military draft despite being targeted toward men.
Damn, women aren't meant to fight. We are the ones giving birth.
Even Corporal Klinger reported for duty.

If it gets me out of being snatched up against my will and shipped to some unholy quagmire of gore as cannon fodder which the non-combat elitists exempt themselves, I would exploit any loophole there may be.

No such luck. If you were born a man, you're on the hook.
