Transexuals Require Humane Army Physicals: Human Rights Watchdog

by Robert Koehler on August 22, 2007

The National Human Rights Commission has recommended that military authorities perform kindler, gentler draft physicals on transexuals. It truly is a brave new world in which we live.

I was educated recently that male to female transsexuals these days want to keep their penis.

I suppose ROK army was going to send this man to the army for having a penis. Claiming that he was still a male.

And I suppose this transsexual was trying to dodge the army by saying he is now a female.

Ultimately, there will be a case in the ROK where penis or no penis, somebody will get excused from the army by claiming he is a she now.

sorry, actually this one is a female to a male.

why send either to military service?

they’ll both have a very hard time.

by definition, isn’t a M->F transsexual who keeps his penis just a plain ol transvestite?

#3, No.

You can keep your penis and go on hormone replacement therapy.

There is a case of a man to female who had a vagina made for him, is on hormone replacement, and retained his penis.

perhaps too much information.
