Asking about how the US ban on Transgender service members functions as a cis guy.
Just a disclaimer, I don't know what the best native subreddit would be for this post, I was split between here, some legal subreddits, and other military subreddits, so this is a post that (quite frankly) might not even have any relevance here.
According to some correspondence here on how the mechanics and legal aspects of the ban, if I thoretically get a diagnosis for Gender Dysphoria as a just plain dude, falsify symptoms by usage of medical data taken from various psychiatrists/medical associations, and I remain a cis guy after everything is settled, isn't that just a way to legally dodge the draft? I've heard stories that that was a frequent and popular way of how sons of congressmen/government officials did so in the 1960s during Vietnam. Someone explain this to me, I'm not enlisted, but I'd be at the age to be included in a first wave for a draft when the "optimal time" for war would hit. I have skills that would be useful in a military role, I speak Russian and Polish, which are inherently useful for coordination, and have understanding of underlying historical events of contemporary Russian history. Not asking if getting a facetious diagnosis would be ETHICAL, I'm asking from a standpoint of legality, how the DoD functions, and how draft exemptions have worked in the past.
