Surely the army would conscript them to a cybersecurity red team?
military bad, draft bad.
but, yhea, gender discrimination is also bad. not sure if finding roles for them in the system is progress.
I think the joke is that at least in the west there is a very high amount of people in the tech industry who are trans.
Also in military intelligence for that reason. At least if my veteran friends are telling the truth
I got that part, the "programmer socks".
It's the classic "is it progress if women are smoking" dilemma.
We have non-binary drone pilots, diversity

Don‘t think they have enough striped unix-socks.
Draft tends to apply to men only, so they probably can't conscript them, even if they want to.
Here in Germany, men can get drafted, even during peace time, while women can only be required to work in healthcare during a war.
The NSA wishes they could harness that kind of power
