HPD cop wants sex change operation
An officer with the Houston Police Department is asking for time off to undergo a sex change operation.
Sgt. Jack Oliver said he has agonized for years over the decision to become a woman.
He said he's underwent a lot of therapy before making the decision.
Sgt. Oliver began the preoperative phase of becoming a woman about four months
ago.
He said he decided to come forward a few weeks ago when he began showing more feminine characteristics.
He plans to take a leave of absence to complete the transformation by having surgery.
He is a veteran officer who works out of the Fondren Substation in southwest Houston.
