Government officials and gender and human rights advocates have urged the Defence Ministry to revise a ministerial regulation which regards transgendered people as people having a "gender identity disorder" that exempts them from military service.

Speaking at a seminar organised by the Office of the National Human Rights Commission, they said the regulation disregarded the human dignity of transgendered people and needed to be changed.
