You might have misunderstood the referenced article, Sunny.
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".

I highly doubt that Time Inc.  would make me their spokesperson.
