Thai ladyboys report for military draft

In segments of Thailand, Thai ladyboys have become part of the social fabric and can be seen reporting for conscription for the nation’s army, putting them under the spotlight.
This is a stark contrast from the social abuse they received in the previous years.
These individuals are exempted from the mandatory two-year service but are required to report themselves in the annual recruitment process before being selected under a new non-discriminatory designation described as “unfit to serve due to physical gender not matching their mental status.”
