The government of Thailand has held yearly army recruitment lottery for all males of the age of 21. And it’s that time of the year once again where these lovely men show their proof of exemption.

This recruitment exercise is held yearly and recruits are randomly selected at military call-up events, which involves all Thai men aged 21 to 26. But for transgender women in Thailand whose sex is still officially listed as “male”, they still have to take part in this event.
These women would have to show medical certificates proving their new gender. This would then excuse them from national service as transgender women are not allowed in the Thai army.
