AN RAF squadron leader yesterday told of her amazing transformation – from a man to a woman.
Helicopter flying ace Sue Jones, 40, began her career as one of Our Boys. He was also a married dad-of-two.
But all the time she knew she should really be a woman. Finally she had a heart-to-heart with her wife and six years ago had a £40,000 sex change.
All along, she has had the full support of the RAF. Sue has since married again – as a bride instead of a groom. She said of her husband: “He is as straight as they come and I had to tell him about my past.”
Sue, based in London, was posted to Iraq last June and was responsible for all air movements in and out of Basra.
She said of her RAF pals: “I have never had any abuse. I have been judged on my ability to do the job – not whether I’m a man or a woman.”
And a few more details from AVweb:
Squadron Leader Sue Jones commanded all air movements out of Basra in southern Iraq last year for a six-month stint that began in June -- she also served earlier in her career with the Royal Air Force as a married man and father of two. "These are medical matters of personal privacy; we will not comment on individual cases," a Ministry of Defense spokesman told the Telegraph.co.uk. Now remarried to a man, Jones told the Telegraph, "Following a heart to heart with my then wife six years ago, I decided to personally fund a sex change." The Sea King helicopter pilot says she's received full support from her colleagues in the RAF, never suffering any abuse and being judged only on her ability to do the job. "I am a determined, focused professional individual," she said, "who simply wants to get on with my life and do the job I love."
Now this is real change that Obama is talking about
thank God she is a Brit and we don’t have to claim he/she/it
“Chopper ace: My sex change”
Any guess as to what was chopped off?
Could someone please psot that barfing graphic.
Plug-ugly - male, female or in between.
I just get this picture of ‘IT’ being shot down and raped by the diaper heads then they find out ‘IT’ was a he and not the she they thought they just had.
“BALL!” said the queen, “If I had ‘em I’d be King”
Yabbut, when the operation was going on did the co-pilot take the stick?
Another great headline from the Sun. I still like the Elton John one the best ;)
A castrated fruit loop flying military aircraft.
The Brit's must be so proud.
She has way too much fun with the “hot pickle”.
Sure he is. Wonder what his reaction would be to the results of a DNA test on his "wife" that confirms he's sleeping with a dude.
What's up with some of those Brits?
Calling a mutilated male a woman doesn’t make it so. “She” is used inappropriately.
He's as sick as they come, too, if he went along with this after finding out.
From the headline I thought this thread was about Paul Teutle.
