Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history and subculture surrounding Transgender people in Singapore is substantial. Not immediately apparent to Singapore''s mainstream society is the fact that the gay community sees itself as a totally separate entity from the transgender communities (often also referred to as "transvestite and transsexual" communities). They are individual subcultures with many different priorities and concerns. National service was implemented in 1967, whereby all 18-year old males were required to train full-time for two or two-and-a-half years, depending on their educational attainment. Transgender was listed as a condition in a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) ''Directory of Diseases'' and recruits who outed themselves to the examining doctors at the Central Manpower Base (CMPB) at Deport Road had their ''deployability'' denied in sensitive positions. They were classified as Category 302 personnel, downgraded to a Physical Employment Status of C or E and assigned only non-combat roles at military bases.
