I've always admired people who have the courage to have these operations. But I've never been able to sort out how their relationships 'work' afterwards

Voted. And about your scenario--I just don't know. I just don't know.

ooh, you know ... i think you just brought up a good point. they better throw in some other clauses in that amendment. for instance, they better redefine "man" as somebody born with only one X and one Y chromosome. and redefine "woman" as somebody born with only two "X" chromosomes. that way they can exclude ALL the people they don't like. woohoo!

OK, I've really been thinking hard about this scenario and the only solution would be for this person to marry him/herself. That'd work, wouldn't it? Or not.

Brilliant post Bill. It has amazed me, a mere mortal from a 3rd world country, to read what is going on over there. I love the present governments priorities. "Lets get the gays because all the controversy will put out of the minds of our citizens, the real important issues which we have NOT given focus to especially in an election year. Like education, health care, the aged, abused woman, the homeless, the jobless". What is up with Bush? Our Equality bill in our Constitution protects gays and that is how it should be. Everyone has a right to choose how to live their lives as long as it brings no harm to anyone else.

I love that I get linked in the post that refers to testes more than once.

As to your question...I think they should marry their first cousin.

No reason.
