Introduction<br />

So you want to change your sex? It’s a good idea—if<br />

you happen to have been born transsexual; th<strong>at</strong> is, if<br />

<strong>the</strong> sex between your legs doesn’t m<strong>at</strong>ch <strong>the</strong> gender in<br />

your heart. I was born transsexual but I didn’t realize it until<br />

I was 46 years old. Th<strong>at</strong> was just a few years ago. Then, after<br />

living my whole life up until th<strong>at</strong> time as a man, I changed<br />

my sex; now I live as a woman. You can, too!<br />

Changing your sex is not just a surgical procedure; in<br />

fact, <strong>the</strong> surgery is completely optional. Wh<strong>at</strong> changing your<br />

sex does entail is simply changing your entire perception of<br />

your own self; and, changing your gender present<strong>at</strong>ion—<br />

how you dress, how you walk and talk, how you rel<strong>at</strong>e to all<br />

<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r people in your life, how you engage in sexual<br />

activity, your name, and all of your identific<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
