If you’re a man and want to become a nun (and who doesn’t?), change sex.
That is the answer of a 45-year-old Italian man, who’s really keen to get into the habit.
The man lives in a small town near Rome but intends to leave his job in May and travel to a country in northern Europe to have the sex-change op.
“I talked about my wish with a priest but I was misunderstood,” the anonymous man is reported to have said. “A conversation with a bishop was even worse.”
Meanwhile, a spokesman for CasaPound, a social justice organisation, Massimo Carletti, said, “All men and women should be equal and have equal opportunities.”
“He is determined to [achieve his dream] and we will help him,” Carletti said.
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.
You're taking the piss, right? This is an april fool - isn't it?
