cut from into:
- is a choice individuals make to their bodies both physically and mentally. ... The mental component can be as simple as dressing as a member of the opposite sex.
- I don't see how dressing a certain way has anything to do with surgery
- Why call it a choice? Is this a code word for "proposed legal right", or what?
I won't even comment about changing one's body mentally. --Ed Poor Talk 15:30, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
- The dressing has to do with the person's lifestyle, that which might lead up to the person making such a decision.
- Hi Ed, to address your two points in order:
- Dressing as a member of the opposite sex is usually prescribed (as far as I know) by doctors to "ease" the change, but also so that a person begins to "live" as that other sex. It is meant to give them time to back out, I think.
- I only used the word choice because you, say, could "choose" to do it tomorrow, but I don't think there is anything in a socety that compels someone to make that change (outside of some obscure medical condition of which I'm not aware.)
- Hope it helps--good questions! RedRiverLib 15:38, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
