Sex-change paratrooper wins £250,000 for 'hurt feelings'

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3999422.ece

A former paratrooper who had a sex-change operation has won a £250,000 payout for hurt feelings after being ordered to wear a man's army uniform.

Jan Hamilton, formerly Captain Ian Hamilton, was awarded the sum by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in an out-of-court settlement after claiming that she was humiliated by the order.
