Trans students winning uniform battle in Thailand
  • hace 4 años
Pathum Thani, Sep 4 (EFE/EPA).- Due to an obsolete educational regulation, a lot of transgender students in Thailand have to wear a uniform that does not match their gender identity, but now the activists seem to be winning the battle to elect their own dress inside the classrooms, at least the university level.
 
Siwakorn "Buzzy" Thatsanasorn has always been aware of being a woman despite being born in a man's body, and her family has accepted it unconditionally, but at school she was forced to wear a uniform and keep short hair.
 
The humiliation was repeated when two years ago she enrolled in the prestigious Thammasat University in Bangkok, and had to get photographed in a male uniform and a short haircut. (Camera: GASPAR RUIZ-CANELA/RUNGROJ YONGRIT).
