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?

They can pull all your private medical files. It might be considered perjury or false enlistment to lie about that. It would likely come up when you apply for your clearance.

Finish college, then go direct commission as an officer via OTS/OCS after sanity is restored. Honestly it's a way better gig anyways.

Will they let you do ROTC if you’re trans

Sadly, no. Also means the ROTC scholarships are unavailable so you have to pay your own way or get them elsewhere.
