Chastity Bono announces gender reassignment

[innerSpaceman]

I'd like to be a girl so I could dress more fancifully and change my hairstyle a lot. That would be fun. I could do all that by pretending to be a girl.


If, however, I'd like to be a girl for how much (usually) more compassionate, nurturing, empathetic, and generally enlightened they are as a gender ... not only is that something I cannot achieve via hormones, surgery, dress-up or self-delusion/intense belief - - it's something I could just as easily accomplish as a man and be no less man or more woman for the accomplishment.
