"You gave away..."

"...the things you loved... and one of them was me"...

The Canadian military has tried previously to change or alter some of its equipment for women. In 1997 it earmarked more than $2 million for creating what it believed would be the world’s first combat bra. The project was eventually abandoned.

The action plan focuses on Designated Group Members, which the Canadian Forces defines as women, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities. Also included in the strategy is the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning and 2-Spirited) community.
I myself am looking forward to Canada's first 2-Spirited, paraplegic Wiccan jet fighter pilot... even if she doesn't have a fully functioning "combat bra."
