Sex-change soldier wants to keep serving
I can see it now, BHO wants to have his name caved to stone as the First POTUS that authorized this operation.. We need volunteers...

Sex-change soldier Bridget Clinch wants to keep serving in Australian Defence Force, Ian McPhedran and Padraic Murphy, Herald Sun, November 08, 2010 12:00AM
DEFENCE force chiefs have agreed to pay for the sex-change operation of a soldier who wants to return to her old job training Diggers in extreme sports after her surgery.
Army Captain Matthew Clinch, who served twice in East Timor, will become Bridget Clinch after gender reassignment-realignment surgery, funded by taxpayers.
Victorian RSL president Maj-Gen David McLachlan said he was surprised the Army was picking up the tab.
"It seems a little odd that they would allow such an abnormal situation get this far," Maj-Gen McLachlan said.
"The soldier involved would be putting themselves in a situation where they would be subjected to all sorts of peer pressure."
Asked if paying for the surgery was a good use of defence funds, he said: "It's unusual."
Capt Clinch is in Brisbane with partner Tammy and two daughters on extended sick leave from her job as second-in-command of the army's Adventurous Training Wing based at Wagga in southern NSW, but wants her former job back.

That is if POTUS can find his way out of the bomb proof tunnel while on his visit to India...
Will she reely be called Col Clinch someday???

Without getting into the issue of letting a man turned woman being allowed to continue serving, how in the hell is it justified to use the Australian taxpayers' money for this?

Can't turn a man into a woman. But you can make him a gelding.

greenlight - I hear they are experimenting with a new procedure to do that very thing: turn a woman into a man - it's called an addadicktome.
Funny - we had this discussion when "Dianne" Schroer made the change. If you walk around claiming to be napolean, they'll toss you in the rubber-room. If you claim you're Princess Diana, they want to start whacking off appendages...

That's like having a pen flair and calling it a shot gun. Sorry, had to be said.
Like I politely said to the guy next to me on the Metro a couple of weeks ago: "Back off freakboy!" He/she/it did. Fairly disgusting what they do with rouge and eye shadow these days. No color coordination - clashed horribly with the shoes and purse.

Another usually reliable indicator is walking in heels. Men don't have the hip articulation to survive more than casual scrutiny.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
