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???

I do not think that the australian government should be paying for this operation. If they feel that they should be a female, and they need to have the physical attributes of a female to feel like a female, then it is up to them to pay for the procedure. If I felt I didn't look right to fit into society, and, in my mind, felt the only way I would 'fit in' was to get Paris Hilton's nose, then I would not expect someone else to pay for it.
