Some things have a silver lining I guess.

    They’ll be drafted, still, as their birth gender. Forced to live their dead gender while actually dying for their corporate overlords.

        Every generation prior to me had some degree of military service; I knew damn well, early on in life, that i would not join under any circumstances. I’ve seen how this country treats veterans; I’ve worked most of my adult life alongside active duty and retirees (contractors and federal employees alike).

      Thankfully I’m too old to be drafted. 32 as of writing this, if it had happened when I was younger I probably would’ve tried to get out of it, different ways though since I was so stubborn and I didn’t end up realizing I’m trans until I was 26, almost 27.

        If the shit hits the fan they’ll draft up to 55. They drafted to 45 for World War 2 and had authority to go to 65. The only reason Vietnam stayed young is the limited engagement area could only fit so many people.
