LADY-BOYS REPORT FOR DUTY AT SATTAHIP NAVAL BASE.


Ten kateuys or Ladies of the Second Category, counted as Patient Type 3, (those suffering from diseases which cannot be healed within 30 days), gathered to report for duty at Sattahip Navy Base on 8 April, 2008. They normally have to report three times to prove that they actually fall under the category of Patient Type 3, but these second category ladies said they wanted to join the navy as nurses take care of naval patients.

At 9.00 am, on 8 April 2008, the ten, 21-year-old "Patient Type 3" men, both sexually and non-sexually transformed, presented themselves before Colonel Piyachat Toopthong, the President of both the Blood Test and the Registered Personnel Committee, 2551, and his team at Sattahip School Meeting. They constitute the selection committee for Thai men in the Sattahip area born in 2530 (1987). The ten wanted to draw their black marker, indicating that they are exempted from enrolling in the army or navy.

The Sattahip Selection Unit covers five sub-districts in the area, consisting of Sattahip , Samaesarn, Bangsaray, Najomtien and Plutaluang. This year, the navy needs only 80 persons to join. There were 169 black markers and 80 red markers issued, with 16 men who volunteered to join without drawing the markers.

Bunpot Chaitanom (21) from Sattahip, a second category lady and university student, acted as the spokesperson for the group of second category ladies. Bunpot told the media that they actually wanted to join the navy because they think they can be nurses, and didn't want not to avoid their duties.



Mr. Piyapan Sakorn (21), who is also a student, on the other hand, said he doesn't want to join the navy because he wants to continue his studies. However, he has to report every year for the committee to decide whether he is mentally a man or a "Patient Type 3" and qualified for exemption. He believes getting an education is the only way to prove to people that he is normal and acceptable to society.
