http://dentedbluemercedes.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/guest-post-natalie-murray-clarifies-canadian-military-dress-rules-media-coverage/The Canadian Military has released a policy on dress for trans soldiers. Unlike in the US, gays and lesbians have served openly since 1992 and trans people have been able to serve in the military since 1998.
The following guest post is by Natalie Murray, who is an IT technician stationed at CFB Trenton, Ontario. She has been in the Canadian Forces since 1987. She transitioned in 2003.

I am a proud member of the Canadian Forces, with 27 years of service, including 24 years in the regular force. I am also a transsexual woman, one who transitioned in uniform seven years ago, the eighth to 'officially' do so. (I'm personally aware, though, of two people who transitioned, then signed the dotted line.)
