Not for the first time, and it won’t be the last, Aitor has been rejected by the armed forces due to his lack of weaponry.
Aitor, a transsexual, has once again been declared ‘unfit’ for the armed forces due to a certain lack of male genitalia. A Defence Ministry Decree from 1989 prevents any transsexual from enlisting in the army, navy, air force or Guardia Civil if they lack a penis or present the absence, loss or atrophy of testicles.
Although it may make one wonder what the Spanish army intends to do to its enemies, the decree was instituted as a safeguard in relation to diseases of the urogenital tract. The decree is said to be under review.
In the meantime, Aitor plans to try yet again to enlist.
