泰国据称为全球变性人比例最高的国家。但该国政府机构宣布,自今年11月29日起将实施一项新法,即规定泰国男性实施变性手术的最低年龄为18岁,且需符合多项规定。
请看外电的报道:
Thailand has issued rules makingsex change surgerymore difficult — including a requirement that potential candidates cross-dress for a year — over fears that some patients are rushing into the operation, a medical association said Thursday.
泰国医学协会于周四称,泰国针对变性手术颁布的最新法规使得在该国进行变性手术将更加困难。新法规包括要求申请者变装一年,以防止一些手术者仓促决定变性。
文中的sex change surgery就是指“变性手术。在泰国,transsexual and transgender(易性癖者和变性人)非常普遍,在公司、cosmetics counter(化妆品柜台)、red-light district(红灯区)都可以见到他们的身影。此外,泰国每年还会举办transgender beauty pageant(变性人选美比赛)。
根据此次规定,sex change surgery(变性手术)申请者还要进行术前mental evaluation(精神评估)和术后follow-up visit(跟踪回访)。而长期的cross-dresser(变装者)可以免去one-year waiting period(一年的等候期)。
