From knowing several TS's over the last 15 years, this is indeed the
correct interpretation of a sex change.  In fact most TS's being helped
by doctors must go through lengthy evaluations with the shrinks to make
sure that this is reason for requesting the proceedures.  I might also
point out that the whole process takes several years, causes large
amounts of pain over much of that time (physical type pain) and leads
to extreme difficulty with insensitive assholes such as Rob Demillo's
posting seems to portray.

I appreaciated reading and seeing your posting Cathy.  Good luck in your
future.
