does anyone agree with this operation to be performed on an australian male soldier.who want's to become female.to be paid for by the australian government defence forces.
my opinion:::it must be quite debilitating for this young man to be male yet his mind is telling him he should be female.i thing the operation should be performed and the new female soldier pay it back with longer service.my only thoughts are this man has children and will not have a father as such.how will it affect them???

to be blunt i think there should be a cut-off. I've met an Anthropomorphic person before. that is to say a man with a female Brain. recognized, studied, legit. he would like the surgery, and i quite agree. some people can be born differently and we have the technology and the knowledge to alter people's lives for the better.
but such a drastic change can adversely affect those people around them. i think that it would be wrong to have a child grow up with a dad and a mother, and then have that change in such a way. i believe a child is meant to grow up with a stable mother and father figure guiding their lives. after the children come of age, do what you wish.
on the other matter, i don't see why taxpayers money should be spent on someone for that purpose. it's not the ADF's money. it's ours the taxpayer. perhaps a deal could be made for longer service, but to use a career in the defense force for the sole purpose of free surgery is outright exploitation. that's why checks are made on people for any job regarding illness or prior injury, so that work-cover is not exploited.
that's my two cents :)
