@pinknews Why are these trans women going viral outside a military recruitment center in Thailand? Thailand’s annual military conscription event is a highly anticipated moment for Thai men aged 21 to 26. Each year, they gather at local recruitment centers to determine their fate through a national lottery. Everyone receives an envelope - and inside is either a red card or a black card. Red means you’re selected for military service. Black means you’re exempt. However, a new viral tradition has emerged within Thailand’s trans community. While transgender individuals are still required to show up in person for the draft lottery, they can be exempt from service if they provide a gender reassignment certificate or relevant medical documents. Each year, trans women across the country head to recruitment centers to submit their paperwork - often turning the moment into a celebration, complete with photoshoots proudly holding their certificates outside the recruitment centre. While it remains illegal for trans people to serve in Thailand’s military, this annual tradition has turned into a powerful symbol of pride for the country's trans community. #thailand#transwomen#militarytiktok#militaryservice#transrights#lgbtqia#Adoteumhabitinho♬ vlog, chill out, calm daily life(1370843) - SUNNY HOOD STUDIO
泰國時事臉書粉專《泰國清邁象Chiang Mai Elephant》今年4月也PO出「2025年度兵役天使佳麗」照片分享，許多有著精緻臉孔，凹凸有致的跨性別女性拿著免役證明驕傲拍照，照片曝光後，網友則驚訝表示：「我以後什麼都不相信了」、「都好美喔！」、「我也想一起服兵役」、「這不講真的看不出來」、「以前還可以分辨，現在越來越難了」、「真的是男的嗎？」、「證明做了變性手術就可以免兵役」。
