The first female operational pilot took off in 1990. A woman joined the world famous Red Arrows display team in 2009. And two years later the first female crew took the controls of a Typhoon combat jet.
But yesterday, the advancement of women took an extraordinary turn when it was revealed the RAF is planning to ban women from wearing skirts on the parade ground.
It’s not, as you might imagine, a response to a clamour from feminists among the 4,400 women in the RAF. No, the pressure comes from the increasingly powerful transgender lobby.
A Ministry of Defence source says: ‘There are concerns that by forcing RAF personnel to wear skirts it’s discriminatory towards a variety of people, such as those with tattoos and transgender personnel.

So, another tradition goes out the window because some women want to show off their tattoos or because the RAF is afraid they might disrespect a handful of transgender he/she's?
Seriously? I guess the RAF would rather hack off the vast majority of RAF personnel and cave into the transgender or those who dye their legs.
Pathetic.
