Not so long ago my colleague fatsally brought us the story of Pregnant Bloke, the female to male trans-sexual who was expecting her female lover’s baby.
Confused? You will be when you have read this story. First we must recap the story of pregnant Terry, the woman who wanted to be a man, grew a beard, underwent an appendicktome but kept her female bits too. Terry later decided he and his female lover wanted to start a family but for reasons undisclosed the lady could not have a child. No worries, said Tel, leave it to me.
Very strange.
Well now I bring you the story of Charles. A few years ago Charles became Samantha because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now Samantha, a very attractive woman, has gone back to being Charles, a very odd looking man because while the willie can be reconstructed, certain facial surgery cannot.
When asked why he had followed this rather bizarre course Charles said: “Well you have to try different things in life.”
Now to me, and you can call me old fashioned if you like, being a woman is not something one can dabble in. “Oh I’ll be a woman for a bit and if it doesn’t work out I’ll have my willie put back,” seems a very causal approach to a life changing decision. One does not “have a go” at changing sex as one might “have a go” at pottery, horse riding or bungee jumping. Changing sex is life becoming a Scientologist or buying a puppy, it’s for life.
Many of us do daft things for a bet but wouldn’t it be right to worry about someone who, asked why they opted for a sex change said, “Well me and the guys were just dicking around doing dares and someone bet me I would not have my willie cut off.
A vagina is not an impulse purchase.
