Really? I was in San Luis Obispo back in '94, just for the night though but if I would've noticed those popped collars, I surely would've laughed on site. LOL, that's too funny. Well, you guys can come to South Milwaukee & laugh at all the mullets that both men AND women still possess. Why oh why would you do that to yourself??

And when it's all done, she'll be a woman with a mustache and a horribly disfigured vagina.
Wow, you sure know how to paint a picture! Poor Sonny is probably rolling over in his grave. Im not dumb but i cant understand why she talks like a woman walks like a man............................

Well, people only do this because medical technology has come to a point where it can be done. Sort of. It isn't as if you can turn a man into a woman or a woman into a man, you can just play with body parts and chemicals. Personally I find it difficult to accept that anyone would take a perfectly healthy body of either sex and purposely create a situation where so much can go wrong, you will never really be what you think you should be, and physical issues will have to be dealt with FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. Sexual confustion/disorder or not, this doesn't seem healthy at all.

I've read horror stories about people undergoing "simple" plastic surgery procedures that left them physically and emotionally scared for life and this is much more complex than that.

The 40-year-old writer, activist and reality-TV star came out as gay 20 years ago, Bragman said.
In the book "Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming-Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, & Their Families," Bono describes the realization of being "somehow different — specifically different from who my mom expected me to be."
A message left with Cher's representatives was not immediately returned Thursday.

I don't know a great deal about sex change operations and am wondering if someone can enlighten me as to why homosexuals have them.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting side-note. Sexual reassignment is allowed (actually encouraged, and a bit too much for my liking) in Iran. The Ayatollah said he saw it as a correction of a mistake of nature.

It appears that some Americans are more fundamentalist than the Ayatollah! Crazy!

I'm a little surprised that no one has suggested a soundtrack for this thread yet.

Here are the Kinks with "Lola". Take a break and enjoy while you resharpen your hatchets.

Why is this even an issue? How does what Chas does to his body affect anyone else?

It doesn't. It shouldn't.

I do feel badly for him as the female to male reassignment surgery is a lot trickier and not quite as successful as the male to female. But this just shows how much Chas needs and wants this surgery. I'm sure that it is something he has thought long and hard about.

So, good luck Chas!
