I *think* the point was whether or not a transsexual could menstruate, and whether menstruation is the factor to consider. Since I'm not a transsexual (last time I checked) this may not be valid, but I feel that the symptoms that we've been discussing are due to the varibility of the hormones, which are regulated in a transsexual, and are not naturally produced. Therefore, in a transexual, the mental, emotional and psychological would not be "natural". -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross M.
