(A little drug alteration never hurt anybody, eh?) >As Sunny stated, we are changing to the correct not opposite gender. From knowing several TS's over the last 15 years, this is indeed the correct interpretation of a sex change. In fact most TS's being helped by doctors must go through lengthy evaluations with the shrinks to make sure that this is reason for requesting the proceedures. I might also point out that the whole process takes several years, causes large amounts of pain over much of that time (physical type pain) and leads to extreme difficulty with insensitive assholes such as Rob Demillo's posting seems to portray. I appreaciated reading and seeing your posting Cathy. Good luck in your future. Richard A.
