What the fuckity (College)

General
I went to student orientation today and it was a bit...overwhelming. It's times like these where my Asperger's becomes very evident.
Luckily, I did get financial aid, which also increases the chances of me getting a student job. I also can get a bus pass so I don't have to walk 45 mins to the campus every day.
Now, this is all great, BUT there is something that was a bit irritating.
I don't know if I've indicated this before, but I am not a fan of this country, especially the military. And obviously, as a legal adult male, I was enrolled in selective service. Great, they're treating me as a legal male, fantastic. However, there is no way in Hell that I would ever survive in the military, Luckily, there was a list of scenarios that allowed me to be excluded from the draft. I was hoping that the reason I was officially exempted was because of disability, but no, I'm exempt because I'm transgender.
What's more, I found out that transwomen are NOT exempted from the draft. Which is pretty fucked up. I hate this idea of selective service, and I hate that it's still only men (or those who they DEEM men) who are required to do this. You either have everybody do it or nobody do it. Enough people join the military anyways. Smh
Edit: I was also hoping that community college was going to be me getting all my required courses out of the way, but I HAVE to decide on a major in order to receive financial aid
