Sex reassignment surgery[edit]

In August 2017 McGregor wrote, in relation to her transwoman status, "Have had surgery".[1] These are her own words. 2001:8003:3D12:FE00:B926:7E15:D86A:5C2 (talk) 09:27, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't a reliable source. Nick-D (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs more detail[edit]

Article is overwhelmingly focussed on recent history to provide much use as a biographical entry, especially given the long Army career is mostly un-detailed and her involvement with the Australian Labor and Liberal parties goes unmentioned (between the 80s, when McGregor left the Army, and 2001, when she returned to the Army, she worked for both parties).

Have improved the precision of some facts (McGregor is an RAAF Reservist, not a member of the permanent forces) and have made her military history (given the length of service and prominence) first section.

Some elements could be condensed, whereas others would benefit from more detail 101.176.26.217 (talk) 11:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
