Born a man, he became a woman, then a man again — what's next?

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — High on prescription painkillers and four days without sleep, Michael Berke raced his Harley to the megachurch where he’d found a home.

He barged into the church office, cursing loudly and wearing a mesh shirt printed with profanity. In his hands he held a picture of a woman with long, red hair and pouty lips.

“This is who I used to be,” he said.

“And this” — he gestured to his breastless chest, bald head and red goatee — “is who I’ve become.”

He was born a man. After a lifetime as a social misfit, he had transformed himself into Michelle, a saucy redhead. Then, three months ago, he had become Michael again — with the financial aid and spiritual encouragement of Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale.

It’s hard being from South Florida sometimes. We seem to compete with California for the most lunatics per capita now.

I always have to wonder what plastic surgeons would say to someone who wanted to cut off their left hand because of a lifetime as a social misfit.

Hope it kept its original equipment on ice.

Just more evidence that the so-called “sex change to suit the gender within” is more mutilation than treatment. The underlying problems, including high rates of psychosis, are what need to be treated. The knife doesn’t fix that. There are several studies that folks ignore that show psychosis persists after the “gender reassignment” surgery. This man is another example of the problem.

Well if I ever become a social misfit, I will have them save it in a jar to cut down on medical cost just in case.

“What’s next?” ....Negroplasty or maybe Dolphinplasty!

I bet there were very few problems with this kind of lunacy in the beginning of civilization ...

Iguess it’s a woman’s perogative to change her mind...

[freekitty]

Likes the close friendships girls have? Oh yeah, right. This guy is really messed up.

Atleast he wasn’t a classygreeneyedblonde.

This one is a lost cause.

As often as this one changes its mind, maybe velcro would be more appropriate.
