he's not a man. 'He' just paid a bunch of surgeons to make him think he was.
This mind over matter stuff just doesn't always go according to plan.
I'd be more surprised if Dame Edna gave birth.

Don't you mean 'she'?
Officially, HE IS A MAN.
Makes me proud to be a bisexual hermaphrodite.

Novelties of this case aside, are we doing enough in society/medicine/psychology etc to encourage people to become more at ease with there own bodies?
Is this an issue of personal choice?
Is surgery the answer?
I can't help feeling when ever I see cases of this nature a slight niggling doubt as to whether surgery is the best course of action.
Any thoughts anyone?
ps: I am a lesbian born in a mans body

Yeah, we now have more options and choices, and so the ethical considerations become more complicated. However, we are not understanding all of these options in a more complicated way, but merely following our selfish desires.
That is an over simplification, and there is the very real issue of hormonal imbalance and other medical conditions to consider; things that we are still barely aware of, but have been in denial of, for most of Human history.
