Republican Rep. Tim Burchett from Tennessee has introduced a proposal that would require transgender men to register with Selective Service in case the nation ever has another military draft.
While males are currently required to register with Selective Service, females are not.
According to the Selective Service System website, males are required to register no matter how they choose to identify.
“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. “This group of people is more protected than any other group, and it’s not right,” he said.
From The Blaze:
Burchett put forward the proposal as an amendment to a defense measure. The amendment would stipulate that "the terms 'male citizen of the United States' and 'male person' include a transgender person who identifies as male."
