DALLAS—A physician and former Navy pilot who has served as part of the ground medical crew for NASA missions has revealed that she is a transgender lesbian preparing to undergo gender-reassignment surgery, the Dallas Voice reported. Dr. Christine McGinn, 31, has served twice as part of the team that would go into space in case of a medical emergency during a space mission. McGinn's process of coming out began in her home town of Philadelphia, where her therapy group was approached by MSNBC to create a documentary on transsexuals. McGinn felt a responsibility to come forward as the documentary went forward. "They were interviewing all these people and the people they were picking weren't really what I would call a good representation," she said. McGinn's surgery was scheduled for Aug. 9, and the documentary is slated to air on MSNBC this fall.
