and could serve as lessons for promoting such laws in Thailand. These

include considerations regarding the legal impacts, such as the recognition
of gender for minors, non-binary individuals, and gender recognition

for refugees/immigrants. Additionally, there are considerations related
to the implementation of both the government and the private sector,

such as recognizing gender identity for citizens or nationals of a given
country and for foreign nationals. Further considerations involve examining

the rights, societal, cultural, and quality of life aspects for individuals
protected by gender recognition laws. This includes benefits and exceptions

or limitations on enforcing one's rights in determining their own gender
identity, time constraints on utilizing these rights, the process of filing

a complaint for the second time, and the resulting outcomes.

In terms of societal and cultural impacts, the research found that

legislation addressing gender identity significantly influences societal
norms. This shift redirects the focus towards public or societal benefits

rather than group interests. This shift is evident in various aspects,
including education, employment, civil rights, safety, healthcare services,

and public understanding. However, it also raises concerns about
varying implementations of the law across cities and regions, potentially

resulting in unequal treatment of women and individuals of other genders.
Consequently, gender recognition may pose challenges in achieving

inclusivity or equitable outcomes, even when national laws are in place,
due to differing practices and a lack of standardized guidelines for

meaningful gender recognition.

Therefore, this study proposes several recommendations.

Firstly, the objectives and scope of law enforcement must have clear
definitions. Individuals covered by the law should include those with
