A killer link from my co-conspirator, KDS. Maybe this is why the US is mobilizing its long-inoperative Latin American naval fleet:
Via ABC News.Cubans to get free sex changes
The Cuban Government has approved 28 sex-change operations and says it will perform them free of charge.
Cuba's sex education centre is run by President Raul Castro's daughter Mariela Castro and for many years she has pressed the Government to offer free sex-change treatment for transsexuals.
The health ministry has decided it is time to oblige.
Ms Castro says a Cuban team has been training with Belgian surgeons to prepare for the operations.
The decision marks a contrast with previous official policy on gender issues.
According to Ms Castro, a sex-change operation did take place in Cuba in 1988, but she says there was so much opposition to it that the health ministry cancelled plans to do others.
