The post is incorrect to begin with. I don't know the source of the photo, but in Thailand, the service is based on a lottery for men. You may easily never roll it. There are many thai students (girls too) that do military training during their high school years on some days and don't have to serve later. Also, this transitioning strategy will work in most countries in the world as most of them don't allow transwomen.
I think I completely understand this situation and I do not live in Thailand.
Mandatory military service is a slavery.
Only if there are ways out for the elite. Otherwise it's essentially a defense co-op. If you believe your country is using the military in ethically wrong ways, that's the actual problem, not the draft.
It can be a good thing.
While Canada doesn't have it, most of our military usage is disaster relief and it comes with free education.
I wouldn't mind everyone having to help in shelters, evacuate people, or fill sand bags in exchange for free education.
It has merits in some cases. (Eg living beside a hostile country like N Korea)
Sooo this is a good way to meet sexy singles in my area?
Enlisting in the military has always been an effective means of getting laid from what I hear
I hear it's more effective to marry someone in the military. You get a ton of action while they're deployed.
Is this because trans peeps are not allowed in the military or because women cannot enlist?
Women can enlist but not be chosen in the draft lottery.
Thailand recognizes trans women as men but can be excused for medical reasons if they have undergone gender reassignment surgery.
Previously the exemption was recognized as mental illness.
... So Thailand actually has significantly better trans rights than the US does.
Because currently, in the US, trans people do not legally exist.
It's complicated. Thailand has a continuous culture of recognizing gender non conformance (in part due to having never been colonized).
It's not amazing, and a lot of transfeminized people in Thailand are pushed into sex work, as well as facing some social stigmas. But from everything I've heard it's a lot better than a lot of the world
They're recognized as men in Thailand.
They are recognized by DoD policy and can opt out, but they also cannot opt in.
They effectively cannot vote in half the the county.
Surely the army would conscript them to a cybersecurity red team?
military bad, draft bad.
but, yhea, gender discrimination is also bad. not sure if finding roles for them in the system is progress.
I think the joke is that at least in the west there is a very high amount of people in the tech industry who are trans.
Also in military intelligence for that reason. At least if my veteran friends are telling the truth
It's the classic "is it progress if women are smoking" dilemma.
We have non-binary drone pilots, diversity
or We can have women war criminals, bossgirl feminism.
Don‘t think they have enough striped unix-socks.
In Greece they check that you have 2 balls. You can't serve if you have one only.
That's nuts...
nah, nuts implies two (or more!)
What if you have more? You've got three balls so we're promoting you to a higher pay grade.
That's the benefit of having a uranium buttplug. I grow one extra ball each year. Also it keeps me warm during the winter
Wouldn't want Hitler serving in the Greek army!
3 or more is fine tho?
Thou shalt not pass two. Four is right out.
Here in brazil they do the same thing
Why do you need the second ball to hold a gun?
It took me 15 seconds to read that explanation and I understand it fully without ever even going there. Terrible answer to the posted question.
Hey, you can't be sure these girls aren't also there to visit their boyfriends in the army.
The US excludes us too, but it just feels... different.
Draft bad
Gender discrimination bad
but in this case, somehow, they cancel each other out.
To be honest, if a country is gonna implement a draft or some form of compulsory service requirement, it should be gender neutral, and apply to their citizens universally, with no bearing on gender identity. By all means keep the physical fitness standards to ensure force effectiveness, but possession of one or another particular combinations of genitalia should not play into the equation at all.
Could you just show up in a dress and say your trans or do they make some attempt to verify?
