12 transgender women drafted, exempted from military service in Pattaya

PATTAYA:--While they were forced to draw lottery tickets this year, 12 transgender women still were disqualified from service at this year’s military service drawing in Pattaya.

 

Nearly 1,350 males under the age of 21 showed up for the April 7-8 drawing at Pattaya School No. 2 with the armed forces aiming to draft 405 of them. Transgender women, who the government continues to list as men on their government identification cards, were required to appear.

 

The Sisters Foundation transgender-assistance group was on hand to counsel them on the tests and the requirements and supervised as soldiers measured the trans-women’s silicone and hormone-enhanced chests.

 

Unlike in previous years, the transgender women were required to draw a colored card which say whether they were drafted or exempted.

So if you get breast implants you are exempted from the draft, but if you are the sole carer for an aged relative you are not? 

What a mixed up world we live in.

Oh, well, the great lengths people go to avoid being drafted.

Apparently field Basques were only available in one size and although hairy chested girls may confuse an enemy long enough to shoot them some still managed to avoid the draft.

Glad you are such an expert on these matters Dr Digger! It was your use of terms like waterworks that made me realize your undoubted skill in the physical and psychological assessment of those who have undergone gender reassignment.

Back to harassing tourists and picking pockets it is then!

I'd of made clearer which group I was attempting to defame. Or added some weasel words;

Ptobably back to harassing tourists and trying on pick pocketing as a sideline. It could of been the athorities or the athoritites being the pick pocket harassers. I'v had shit from those in uniform and those that aren't uniform, probably.

It's all welll and good making them exempt but who's gonna do the washing up?

[Krataiboy]

We used to swallow a whole pickled onion and hope it would look like a stomach ulcer on the X-ray.

 

Seriously, in the name of gender equality, isn't it time women got drafted, too?

I am glad you Understand

Confusing. If you're a woman and you're transgender, shouldn't you look like somchai and be eligible to serve?
