I need to check my birth certificate for that, you never know... :

Don't take the certificate's word for it.

My best buddy growing up was discovered to be "female" on his birth certificate, when he was processing for NROTC in college. Somehow, through ~18 years of school, Little League, draft registrations, whatever, that detail had been overlooked.

So ya just never know.

If you were lucky enough to be born in Texas, you can get a fancy certificate "Native Texan" suitable for framing and displaying, from the Department of State Health Services, an "Heirloom" certificate.

Texas is weird that way some times. My ex-wife got drafted when she was a 13 year old girl living in El Paso. She received several threatening letters from the selective service bureau for having failed to show up, which her father answered by mail, telling them that they were trying to draft a 13 year old girl. Finally a couple of FBI agents showed up at her door to take her into custody. My father in law, who was an active duty Major in the Army at the time, brought her to the door, and said "THIS is who you've been trying to draft and send threatening letters to." That put an end to it.

Dang!
That's enough to make me get a bigger belt buckle AND a taller truck!
That really is weird though.

That's government for you. Usually when it comes to crazy stuff like this it takes a lot more to stop the idiocy than that, he was very lucky he didn't get stuck in an endless sticky red tape mess... :)
