FULL TITLE: Former sniper, 40, quits U.S. Army and moves to Britain to become a woman after falling in love with lesbian student, 29

A former military sniper has quit the U.S. army and moved to Britain where she lives as a woman with her lesbian lover.

Former-squaddie Charles Pontiero, 40, is saving up for sex-change surgery after settling down in Coventry, West Midlands, with girlfriend Maria.

The blonde claims that she's finally decided to make the change and live openly as a woman in the UK because it's easier to change sex in Britain than the U.S.

Alessia, who has married three times and has two teenage children, said: 'I always felt more like a girl than a boy, but I felt like I had to hide my female side when I was in the army.

Yeah, I know.

Since those in our media are freak show addicts, there is not much that can be done to keep them from exploiting the mentally ill like this sniper, except to stop giving the media our patronage. Doing that is definitely harder than it sounds.

A great summary of the 21st Century! It took 40 years or so of lib propaganda but it finally worked for them.

It’s a bit mystifying.

Warren Beatty’s daughter is the opposite of this guy, she wants to be an effeminate gay man.

I just don’t get it.

Let me get this straight This “guy” falls in love with a lesbian who presumably has fallen for him too (I hate to tell u guys but this means you are straight). Anyway “she” is a les and being a good liberal she couldn’t go back on her “choice” so he decides to become a woman so he too can be a lesbian so as not to foist his patriarchal belief system on her and be labeled a misogynist.

My goodness gracious - Lord these people are desperately in need of your help!
