20 13 On April 7th, Bangkok, Thailand, the Thai army drew lots for conscription, and monks and transvestites also appeared in unison. According to Thai law, all Thai men who have reached 2 1 and have not volunteered to join the army must participate in at least one lottery recruitment activity, including transgender people. According to Thai law, all young men aged 2 1 year, including transsexuals, must report to the recruiting unit. All young people of service age will take part in a lottery, which means that they must serve until that year. Previously, the Thai military had issued a certificate of exemption from military service to transgender people on the grounds of "psychological abnormality", but now these people are classified as "chest deformities". Thai transgender people are very feminine in appearance. They work as dancers or sex workers in the entertainment and tourism industries. You don't have to be a soldier, but you still have to report to the recruiting unit first.
Because there are a large number of people with ambiguous gender in Thailand, the recruitment standards have been challenged in two aspects. Previously, the Thai military issued a certificate of exemption from military service to transgender people on the grounds of "psychological abnormality." Nowadays, transgender people are classified as "chest deformities", that is, men with breast augmentation, long hair and feminine behavior can be exempted from military service. Therefore, some rural families in Thailand who don't want to lose their young and middle-aged labor force will take advantage of this and let their sons who are facing military withdrawal have temporary breast augmentation surgery to avoid military service. On the other hand, some men who have undergone sex-change surgery to varying degrees want to serve the country, but they are rejected because of their "unmanly" appearance. Senior monks and fully transsexuals can be exempted. At present, the Thai military divides all participants in the lottery into three categories according to the gender representation of men. The first category is people with completely masculine signs and appearance, who will be recruited into the army. Later, this strict masculine standard was criticized by human rights organizations and gender rights organizations in Thailand as discriminating against gay and transgender groups, so the Thai military divided those who had undergone partial transsexual surgery, that is, those with female chest characteristics, into the second category. Those who have undergone a complete and systematic sex-change operation are classified into the third category, and those who have been regarded as women will not be considered at all. When there is a shortage of soldiers, men with female chest characteristics may also be recruited.

In Thailand, almost only children from poor families will become transvestites. Poor and panicked parents who can't see the future will raise the handsome boy at home as a girl, hoping that "she" will become a cash cow for the family when she grows up. Recently, the Thai military has recruited new recruits, and many transgender people who have reached the age of military service have reported to the recruitment site because they "do not meet the requirements for military service" and obtained exemption certificates.
