Transgender Australian Army: “Abbott and I are close”

[Rachel85]

Maybe not alarming, we can be a little vocal (some more than others, 12,874 posts Cindy by my count)

Because I've moved around so much Adelaide people think I'm from the Gold Coast, the Gold Coast think I'm from Sydney, Sydney people think I'm from New Zealand (It's the accent, or more to the point the "proper" way we speak in Adelaide )
I don't think I even know where I'm from any more... Not Tasmania. That much I know :p
And yes, there is definitely something in the water. There are a lot of things in Adelaide water. It is a lot better since I was little though!

And the Brits! - it was said the sun will never set on the British Empire - and that was because even God didn't trust the Brit's in the dark!!

Remind me never to challenge you to a game of wit Cindy

Well we just won the America's Cup for the Yanks!

The skipper of Oracle is an Aussie.

True, but he only started winning once he had a five-time Olympic gold medal-winning Brit thinking up the tactics and giving him his orders!

Nothing interesting at all going on here.

The fact that she was able to transition without getting booted from the army is something interesting.  The Canadians and Brits also allow trans people to serve. 

While Prince William was in the service he was in a search and rescue unit. His pilot, Ayla Holdom, was transsexual.  She also attended the royal wedding along with the rest of the helicopter crew.

Given the animosity shown to trans people in the military in this country I find Lt Col Cate McGregor's service in the Australian army very interesting.

I never knew that. How incredibly cool!
