A transgender Singaporean who "has been living as a woman for the past 10 years" has been granted sanctuary in Britain to protect her from having to do reservist training in Singapore.
Britain's The Guardian reported on Wednesday (April 27) that two judges have ruled that she should not be forcibly returned to Singapore, where she would be required to do two weeks of reservist training each year "for the next eight years".
It was reported in The Straits Times in 2014 that the Singaporean considers herself a "transgender lesbian". Although women, including transgender women, in Singapore are not required to serve National Service, she had chosen not to undergo full gender reassignment procedures and is thus still legally required to serve.
