I was surprised to see the beauty at the Thai military conscription prosecutor's office

According to local media such as Channel 7, two women appeared at the conscription prosecutor's office in Utaitani on the 1st, the first day of the Thai military's conscription in 2025.
Women applied for exemption from conscription by submitting a certificate of transgender surgery.
One of them, Nongmo (23, real name Arit Karnika), is a student in the department of communication arts at Nakonsawan University.
She said "When I was drafted two years ago, I didn't have time to get a checkup, so I delayed it, but this year I got a medical checkup and submitted a certificate of gender identity."
Another transgender woman, Nong Tor (21, real name Thanet Sanrop), said "It's my first time here today and I'm out of my mind. I think I'll have to submit the certificate next year."
Usually, Thailand conscripts 80,000 to 100,000 soldiers each year depending on the birth rate.
Thai men usually have to receive a document containing conscription information and reply when they reach the age of 17. After receiving the application for conscription, Thailand's Ministry of National Defense recruits the insufficient number of people in a 'drain' manner. If a person eligible for conscription puts his or her hand in the barrel to draw a card, he or she will be exempted from the active duty if he or she picks red.
Thailand's military service period requires only one year for volunteers and six months for college graduates to be discharged from the military, and those selected through a lottery must complete two years of compulsory service.
