nz first trans police officer (http://www.stuff.co.nz/sundaynews/4034253a15596.html) ( this is the link to the full news article )
As Constable Steve Lurajud, he was a macho-man cop with a bushy moustache and a No1 haircut who once risked his life to pull a pensioner from a burning building.
But when the self-confessed former "blokey bloke" returns to the Christchurch police next month it will be as ultra-feminine Constable Sarah Lurajud - New Zealand's first sex-change cop.
"Now I'm just an ordinary middle-aged woman leading an ordinary middle-aged existence ... if anything I'm conservative."
"When I go into town I'm accepted as a woman, when I go to work I'm accepted as a woman and when I'm at home I'm a woman," she said.
