Ladyboys among the thousands reporting for military draft in Thailand
BANGKOK: Hundreds of thousands of young men have reported for conscription since the beginning of this month.
And among them were some “beautiful” transvestites, who turned many heads at respective military units.
This year, the Thai armed forces plans to recruit 103,097 conscripts.
Some 76,953 of them will work in the Royal Thai Army, with 16,000 under the Royal Thai Navy, 8,420 under the Royal Thai Air Force, 1,173 at the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters, and 551 at the Defence Ministry’s Office of the Permanent Secretary.
Thai men born between 1988 and 1995 have been required to report themselves for the military draft. – The Nation/Asia News Network
Transgender Women In Thailand Have Been Forced To Attend Draft Days For The Military
Posted on April 11, 2017
Transgender women across Thailand, who are often known in the country as ‘ladyboys’, are being forced to attend conscription events for the nation’s army despite not identifying as men.
Thailand requires every man over 21 years old attend a ‘lottery’ day where they must enlist in the military for two years.
Trans women can get exemption certificates, but must still attend the draft day with approximately 100,000 men because Thai law does not allow people to change their gender on their ID documents.
Forcing them to partake has caused embarrassment and stress for many Thai trans women and caused outcry from LGBT communities, Khaosodenglish.com reports.
After a years-long battle, the Administrative Court ordered that biological sex doesn’t have to match his or her gender so trans draftees could be exempt from conscription.
Still, trans women must present their exemption documents on the day of the draft to prove they are ineligible.
Among the recruits was Patra Wirunthanakij, better known as Nadia. She is the former Miss Mimosa Queen of Thailand, a contest only open to trans women.
Photos from Phayao, Phrae and Korat showed hundreds of Thai citizens lining up as part of the process this year.
In Phrae, eight trans women who attended the conscription avoided selection by military officials. Of 500 attendees at the draft day event, only 60 men were chosen.
Thailand is often considered the trans capital of the world, with more gender reassignment surgeries than any other country.
Ahead of draft day this year, members of the government, media and LGBT community gathered to discuss guidelines for transgender recruits, saying the process is often ‘stressful’ as the media turns their attendance into a joke.
‘Many in the Thai media still portray such news in a humorous way,’ Ronnapoom Samakkeekarom of the Transgender Alliance for Human Rights said. ‘Some of them even cause more stress to transgender recruits.’
