At Bangkok University, “ladyboys” or “tomboys” are now able to select uniforms based on their preferred gender.

The BBC reported:

Bangkok University transgender students get new uniform rules

One of Thailand’s most prominent universities has issued new guidelines for uniforms.

Nothing really new there; Thai universities usually require students to wear an approved uniform.
But the new illustrations published by Bangkok University are for transgender students, showing how either “ladyboys” or “tomboys” can dress according to their chosen gender and still stay within the official dress code.

Transgender people are unusually visible in Thailand, where the annual Miss Tiffany transgender beauty contest is a national event, and people come from all over the world for gender reassignment surgery.

Some high schools have built “third gender” toilets for pupils who do not feel comfortable in either the men’s or women’s facilities.

However, they are not allowed to change the gender on their national ID cards, leading to awkward scenes at the annual army service draft for young men every year.
