Is there a "Yes(?)" option? I'm legally male so on paper I could be conscripted. However I'm pretty sure they'd send me right back as I am trans.

If you’re a male and citizen of the US b/t 18-25 and you haven’t signed up for selective service, that’s actually a felony

If you’re registered for the draft (which all men over 18 technically are supposed to be, regardless of physical limitations or citizen status), then you could be. Whether you’d be selected is another thing, but you could be called

They can’t force you to actually do this, no? Because if someone came to my door I’m either going out the back or just blatantly saying no

It’s possible you’d be selected, but there are many legal ways to not actually end up drafted

In Nam, rich people paid others to take their places. Some also claimed they had bone spurs. A famous singer (Jimi Hendrix, if I remember right) pretended to be gay and got discharged (although, that wouldn’t work today).

Yeah it’s illegal now to pay someone to take your place.
