A MALE army officer, who lives as a woman with his wife and two children, has been locked in a battle to keep his job - as a female army officer.
Captain Matthew - now Bridget - Clinch, 31, plans to have a sex change operation next year after living as a woman for 12 months.
The East Timor veteran's battle with the army has already forced it to abolish its policy of discharging personnel ''undergoing or contemplating gender reassignment''.
