To President Joe Biden’s administration, men are men, and women are women — at least in one instance.
While Biden may be a part of the political party that thinks gender is limitless and people are whatever they say they are at any given moment, the administration doesn’t allow woke gender ideology to interfere with one thing: the military draft.
TRANS WOMEN MUST SIGN UP FOR THE MILITARY DRAFT
The official Selective Service Twitter account reminded the public of its policy via Twitter last week.
“Parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name, he is still required to register with SSS,” the account tweeted. “Learn more about who needs to register at https://www.sss.gov/register/who-needs-to-register/.”
The strangeness of the tweet aside, the link said, among other things, that men who say they are women between ages 18 and 25 must register for the draft.
“US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register,” the site reads. “Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register.”
Whether or not the United States should have Selective Service and whether or not individuals suffering from gender dysphoria should serve in the military are subjects worthy of debate. However, this one policy, at least, is consistent.
The country’s Selective Service policy recognizes biological reality. If someone has XX chromosomes and female genitalia, she is a woman, and if someone has XY chromosomes and male genitalia, he is a man.
If someone calls himself a transgender woman, that doesn’t make him a woman. It makes him a man, likely with gender dysphoria, who wishes he was a woman. Yet a man cannot become a woman, and vice versa. No matter what cosmetic surgeries one undergoes or what hormones one takes, one cannot change biology.
Sometimes, government entities pretend that people can change their gender, and this causes societal problems. It is how men end up using women-only spaces such as locker rooms and dominating women’s sports.
However, Selective Service isn’t one of those instances in which the government ignores biology. For once, the government embraces it.
