I would like to see the court case. MES will probably be called "her" and
"she" by her lawyers, the court officials and the judge, because it will
be plain to them that he is a she. Imagine trying to explain to the judge
that just because she is a she, she really wants to be called a he.
I just don't know, it all kind of gives me a head ache. I wonder what her
friends call her? If she had any children, do they call her daddy. I
just don't know. Gotta get some aspirin.
