To stop discrimination among students, male cross-dressing students at universities will have dorms and lavatories built for them.


UNIVERSITIES: All to be catered for

Institutions to provide seperate dorms, toilets for male cross-dressers, transgender students

Universities will provide separate dorms and bathrooms for cross-dressing and transgender students. They're assessing the number they will have to cater for.

The schools will change rules, allowing these students to attend classes in women's clothing, too, Deputy Education Minister Boonlue Prasertsopha says.

Male cross-dressers have long had problems using lavatories: fellow students do not welcome them in either men's or women's facilities.
Higher Education Commission secretary-general Sumet Yaemnun says it's important to determine if male cross-dressers intend to remain that way.
If not, there will be difficulties in allowing them to stay in women's dorms.

Equal conditions
He expects conditions to be set for lavatory use later. Until then, transgender students will be allowed to use women's facilities and pre-op students the men's.
A ministry study says more cross-dressing and transgender students are attending universities.
The largest enrolments are at Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen and Prince of Songkhla Universities.
