To each his own.

I *very* much like being a man, and could never *be* a woman..... but
there are men, and women, out there that are 'born in the wrong bodies'.

I have met 5 in my life.

I would suggest to certain people on this newsgroup that they watch a
few doco's on this condition before they make their bigoted statements.

We *all* have that at one time or another. I was actually sacked from a
job because of 'downtime due to surgeries'. I took them to the
Industrial Relations Commision....... and I won.

That's understandable.

But most of the ex partners of the GR's I know have remained their
friends, not their partners.
