'What on earth are you doing in my military?'

Caroline Paige, UK's first openly transgender officer, says people asked her 'what on earth are you doing in my military?'

Having joined the RAF in 1980, as a man, Caroline continued to serve in the military for another 15 years after transitioning. She told 5 live's Nihal Arthanyake and Sarah Brett that although air force was supportive she faced hostility from some people.
