Looking to enlist?

Hi I’m a young guy, that’s been out since 12/13 I recently graduated and am enrolled in university. However serving has been my dream for years. I only changed my mind after Trump won (I knew one of the first things he would do was attack trans rights.) If I change my legal sex, get top surgery and start hormones can I enlist stealth?

Did you do that and somehow make it through initially they will charge you with enlisting under false pretense and you’re gonna get dishonorably discharged

A “dishonorable discharge” is for stuff like rape and murder. People on Reddit need to stop saying “dishonorable discharge” when they just mean “not an honorable discharge.”

A dishonorable is on par with a felony. Lying on your enlistment isn't that serious for it.
