An Indian Navy sailor, who was discharged from service for undergoing a sex change surgery, today said she would move the Supreme Court against the decision. How can they discharge me ... just because I underwent a sex change surgery?" Sabi, who was earlier serving with the marine engineering wing at the Eastern Naval Command here, moved to the administrative wing after sex reassignment surgery. "It is sad and worrying that I was found unfit to be a sailor just because of sex change," she lamented. Sabi, who was diagnosed with gender identity disorder, said she sought help from the naval doctors but was turned away.
