Military Allowed Sex-Change Surgeries
From Times Wire Reports
Britain’s Ministry of Defense said it had allowed up to five members of the armed forces to have sex-change operations carried out by the taxpayer-funded National Health Service.

The ministry also confirmed that about 10 members of the armed forces had been given liposuction and four received breast enlargements.
