'Not so headline grabbing' News: Brazil government to begin paying for sex change operations
The Brazilian government will now begin to pay for sex change operations after a ruling from a federal court stated that the procedure is a "constitutional right".
In order for a local to go 'under the knife' courtesy of tax-payer funds, an application for the operation must be approved by a panel of doctors. Upon review, medical and psychological examinations will be performed.
The ruling, made on 16 August, stated that the sex change surgery was a constitutional right as much as equality and health care.
The Brazilian government admitted during legal proceeding that it did not have enough money to fund all of the operations, but has announced that it will not appeal the ruling.
It is believed that as many as one in ten thousand Brazilians are after the sexual reassignment surgery.

I sincerely hope this doesn't set a precedence around the world. If it became available worldwide like this, I am worried it would result in people making wrong decisions, not to mention that mockery that could be made of it. What do you think?
'Not so headline grabbing' News: Sex deemed okay in workplace due to wearing earpiece
Massoud Khan is a forty-one year old police traffic inspector. He is now a famous man amongst his colleagues, due to having a romp in the Gatwick Airport police station and getting away with a slap on the wrist.
Mr Khan was acquitted in court late last week due to the judge ruling that he was still able to respond to any emergency; the police officer still had his earpiece in and tuned in to the relevant frequency while engaging in the sexual act.
When testifying, Mr Khan said "If there was a call for me, I would have answered it and I would have dealt with it".
Misbehaviour was admitted, but ultimately it was not a crime, and therefore Mr Khan could not be charged.

I wonder how many people would get away with this? And do we REALLY want to know what police officers are doing when they are not on patrol?
'Not so headline grabbing' News: Woman banned for saying "fair dinkum"?
Sophie Reynolds was temporarily detained after a flight on Delta airlines from Georgia to Pittsburgh due to saying the phrase "fair dinkum". Now, in a fear of being banned on flying for the airline, the soon to be wedded Reynolds will be changing her name to avoid any further dramas.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph Online, Ms Reynolds said. "I am going to change my name - tomorrow". "I think if I book on any airline anywhere they are going to have a red light flashing."
Ms Reynolds was detained for forty minutes following the flight which involved an 'incident' of not being able to receive pretzels or cheese and crackers from an air hostess. What was said by the jetsetter to cause such a hassle? "Oh, fair dinkum".
During the interview, Ms Reynolds said that she was threatened with both deportation and jail while being questions.
