Aitor G.R. says he wants to be a soldier, not a porn star.
A transsexual, Aitor G.R. has been described as ‘not apt’ for service and refused entry to the Spanish armed services by the Ministry of Defence because of ‘a total lack of a penis’ and ‘the loss, absence or atrophy of both testicles’.

El Mundo reports today that the transexual concerned has complained that he does not need a member to serve Spain.

Aitor says that since his childhood when he played soldiers he wanted to defend his country and that as a solider he wanted to reach the rank of lieutenant.

Now aged 28 and refused entry he says that he is devastated. ‘I want to be a soldier, not a porn star’, he says.
