The "what right" comes from the US constitution - the federal government has the power to force you to serve, and punish you if you do not.Do you think blurting those out constitutes some form of argument? Again, what right does anyone have to force me to fight a war I don't care to?
Some people only think force is appropriate in defending yourself, not forcing others to do what you want.Of course it's force. government is force.

It's hard to keep up with the pronouns. Is a "trans woman" a genetic male or a genetic female?
We've established this. You believe in the use of force to compel people to do as you want. I only wanted to make that clear.The "what right" comes from the US constitution - the federal government has the power to force you to serve, and punish you if you do not.

it's a genetic and actual male, despite the cosmetic surgery.
Pretending to be a woman.
The question I was replying to was if a man still had to register for the draft. The answer is yes. Even if you are a U.S. citizens or immigrant who are born male and have changed their gender to female.To that end, in 2016, a meticulous, comprehensive study requested by the Department of Defense found that enabling transgender individuals to serve openly in the United States military would have only a minimal impact on military readiness and healthcare costs. The study also concluded that open transgender service has had no significant impact on operational effectiveness or unit cohesion in foreign militaries."

its a lie
You askedWe've established this.
As do you - and you agree the government has the power to do so.You believe in the use of force to compel people to do as you want.
Exactly. The outrage is mighty selective. Allah forbid I call a guy in a flowered top with a five o'clock shadow "sir," or make my granddaughter wait for him to come out of the girls bathroom before she goes in. Those should be hate crimes. But a chick who proclaims herself a real man isn't all that offended not to be allowed to register for something she's not interested in.Um, yes, treating them as not women in things that matter to them, like what bathroom they get to use, is important. Registering for a draft that is never going to happen is not.
Agreed about the draftees not being needed. That would be a good thread to start.I would have no problem with having women register for selective service, since they can currently serve in nearly all MOS roles in the military.
But the thing is, we don't currently have a draft. We are not going to start a draft. If we do start a draft, we'd have to make decisions on who to draft, and as it stands now, 71% of eligible cis-gendered males wouldn't qualify due to past drug use, obesity, lack of education, etc.
Up to 75 Percent of US Youth Ineligible for Military Service
About 75 percent of US 17- to 24-year-olds are ineligible for the military due to lack of education, obesity, physical problems or criminal history.www.thoughtco.com
As someone who served as an NCO in the Army, I certainly wouldn't want to train draftees. It was hard enough training people who actually wanted to be there.

No one is forcing you to drive anywhere and if they tried to that would be a crime. Driving against traffic however if you so choose to drive endangers other motorists. Stopping this ongoing danger through use of force is an act of self defense.We are forced to drive on the right side of the road,
You can avoid taxes by owning no property, hunting for your food, living off the grid and bartering with willing trade partners for whatever else you need.

Leaving time on the microwave isn't a life threatening situation unless you have reasonable cause to suspect it to be booby trapped.we are forced to not strangle the person who leaves 5 seconds on the microwave without clearing it.

I agree the government has the ability to force people to do what it wants, I don't think it should have that ability and those are two separate things.You asked
"Again, what right does anyone have to force me to fight a war I don't care to?"
I answered that question: the US Constitution.
The federal government has all kinds of "right" to force all kinds of people do all kinds of things they do not want to do. You aren't special in that regard.
As do you - and you agree the government has the power to do so.
I demonstrated quite clearly that each of those was force in self defense.It's all still force. law is force. government is force.
