The state human rights body has recommended the military authorities improve their rules on physical examination for drafting transsexuals to minimize their sense of shame.

The recommendation was issued after a 29-year-old man who changed gender from female to male, filed a petition with the National Human Rights Commission for his alleged humiliation during a medical checkup for military conscription.
