With the recognition of freedom for student’s gender identity and student uniforms, in June 2020, Thammasat University announced a guideline for non-discriminatory treatment towards LGBTIQN students and how they dress. This guideline allows the students to behave and dress in accordance with their gender, even in the graduation ceremony. It also prohibits actions of harassment, discrimination, bullying or any form of harassments. If one infringes or discriminates, there will be disciplinary action. Please see the details:

In the year 2022, the Office of Registrar, Thammasat University, allowed students to specify their gender in their personal history and graduation record with an additional “other” gender field, in addition to just the male and female fields like before. Understanding the rights of LGBT+ and the recognition of more than two genders are therefore very important for educational institutions.
