	Boy George is most definitely male.  As I understand
it, his cross-dressing is a statement of his belief that sex
(sexuality) is a rather complex and often troublesome topic.
Rather than trying to actually be female, he is really pushing
an asexual message: he wants people to see the sanity(sic) in
being, if you will, neuter!  While I won't argue that his point
has some validity, i.e., that living as a sexual being can and
does bring one often to the edges of mental stability, I must
say that I quite honestly am glad to have gender -- life would
be awfully dull (perhaps blissfully dull-- maybe that's his point!)
without it.

p.s. Rumor has it that his cross-dressing was part of the media
campaign for their recent album and video, and that it may end
with the next set of videos. [Does that nullify all that I've
said above???]
