stated that intersex personnel of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) have had their history and contributions largely scrubbed out, much like other queer people and that their history was still being attempted to be rediscovered. During the "25 years of diversity" celebration for the armed forces intersex people were honored and included with other queer people. In their 2018 book Serving in Silence? Noah Riseman, Shirleene Robinson and Graham Willett acknowledged the lack of perspective and representation from intersex people in their work, they account for this by explaining that the Australian Defence Force never had official policies regarding intersex people and that it was purely considered a medical condition which would mean that the nature of it would determine if someone was allowed to serve, but either as a man or woman regardless, and the fact that the one intersex person they were able to interview provided them with content which they felt was too sensitive to share. In 2016 the first ADF policy regarding intersex and non-binary people was put in use, it states that they are allowed to sign as "intersex", "indeterminate" or "unspecified" on their papers. Australia allows both non-binary trans people and intersex servicemen to use "X" on their papers as well. DEFGLIS is the most well known organisation of the Regular, Reserve and Civilian members of the Australian Defence Organisation for those who are homosexual, bisexual, intersex and transgender, as well as their allies. South Korea Intersex service people of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces are subject to supplemental urological examinations, this was first introduced due to transgender people but is also meant to clear up the status of intersex individuals to the military leaders. Non-intersex people can also be subject to them in some cases. Taiwan Taiwan's military is overwhelmingly male and only males are obligated to serve under conscription; this can cause complicated situations for intersex people. One noted case was in 1954 with the soldier Xie Jianshun who was originally assigned as a male at birth but was later discovered in the military to have many female characteristics. Xie had a penis but a very slim vaginal opening as well as internal gonads which contained both testicular and ovarian tissue. Doctors determined that the ovarian tissue could still produce eggs and that Xie's testicular tissue was deteriorating. Military doctors performed four surgeries despite Xie's desire to remain a man.
