First officially genderless human!
Which is kinda awesome.
But… the why of it is a perfect object lesson for such as which i yam. See, this dude, once upon a time, was gorgeous and androgynous, he was doing drag and got lots of attention for being so good as a girl.
So he thought; "This is who I am!" and went on hormones and had the full operation.
years down the line, she began to realise that being a girl was too restricting too. So she stopped taking her homones and her body began a new process, coming to an equilibrium…
One that actually baffled the authorities.

There’s medical consequences to all of this, so it’s not a light decision either way.
What interesting articles you post! I’m curious to furthur define what you mean by “object lesson”.
I think May-Welby has some very great commentary (at ‘ze blog!’). I also don’t think it threatens the species (*rolls eyes at some associates of mine’s comments*) because there will always be enough penis and vagina to make baby. I really think that the problem arises from the narrow definition of ‘labels’ that makes people prejudice and limiting to others and especially themselves.
hee, I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog!
The ‘object lesson’ for me, is that I have never been one hundred percent absolutely convinced that I should be male– and this person never was absolutely dysphoric either.
OH! I see. Thank you for that. I had to look up ‘dysphoric’ (discomfort, anxiety, unhappy). Me either, I’m not really dysphoric with my gender, but only now that I realize labels are not necessarily finite.
I sometimes feel like a patchwork quilt, and we all know how cozy they can be in their imperfections. And orgasms can happen under them, uh-huh, uh-huh.
WOW! Thanks for tuning me into that term! Now that I’m aware of it, I’m seeing it all over in my readings: “Gender Dysphoria”
