On the one hand, I feel horrible for these people who are so psychologically botched-up that they think they should get a sex-change operation. The other hand wants to scream, "Freak!" Both hands are correct, of course, but that's no reason to give these (wo)men a legal cause of action because others don't want to be around them. I feel bad for people with strong body odor, too, but I don't want to work next to them.

I love that last paragraph, incidentally. The cat rarely gets my tongue, but I gotta believe I wouldn't know how to address the she-man.
