Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff
Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can’t be attributed to a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or stroke.

During an episode of transient global amnesia, your recall of recent events simply vanishes, so you can’t remember where you are or how you got there. You may also draw a blank when asked to remember things that happened a day, a month or even a year ago. With transient global amnesia, you do remember who you are, and recognize the people you know well, but that doesn’t make your memory loss less disturbing.

Fortunately, transient global amnesia is rare, seemingly harmless and unlikely to happen again. Episodes are usually short-lived, and afterward your memory is fine.

But late last week, in an email to colleagues, Ennis revealed that a two-day bout with “transient global amnesia” has revealed to him that he is not actually transgender.

Transients are trannies too!

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Transient global amnesia is identified by its main symptom, which is the inability to form new memories and to recall the recent past. Once that symptom is confirmed, ruling out other possible causes of amnesia is important.

Necessary symptoms for diagnosis
Doctors base a diagnosis of transient global amnesia on the following signs and symptoms:
Sudden onset of memory loss, verified by a witness
Retention of personal identity despite memory loss
Normal cognition, such as the ability to recognize and name familiar objects and follow simple directions
Absence of signs indicating damage to a particular area of the brain, such as limb paralysis, involuntary movement or impaired word recognition
Duration of no more than 24 hours
Gradual return of memory
No evidence of seizures during the period of amnesia
No history of active epilepsy or recent head injury

Along with these signs and symptoms, a common feature of transient global amnesia includes repetitive questioning, usually of the same question — for example, “What am I doing here?” or “How did we get here?”

When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention for anyone who quickly goes from normal awareness of present reality to confusion about what just happened. If the person experiencing memory loss is too disoriented to call an ambulance, call one yourself.

Although transient global amnesia isn’t harmful, there’s no easy way to distinguish the condition from the life-threatening illnesses that can also cause sudden memory loss. In fact, sudden amnesia is much more likely to be caused by a stroke or a seizure than by transient global amnesia. A medical evaluation is the only way to determine the cause of sudden memory loss.

What happens to someone who has a Weiner-ectomy and then decides he wants a Weiner-transplant? Can that operation be done and undone?

Is there a spare Weiner bank? Can you freeze your Weiner in case you want to go back?

Can you sell your Weiner to a woman who thinks she’s a man? What if you want it back?

great story
i have tons of problems, but after reading this, not so much.
I did read about one person that changed genders. donald(deidre) mcclosky a semi well known academic economist. He was 6-3 230, married for 30 years, 53 years old and had two kids and changed into a female.
At least he didn’t ask for government help.

Everyone is having such a good time, I hate to spoil their fun by suggesting they read the entire article.

After the guy declared his intent to undergo transgender surgery, he went to a hospital for prerequisite tests. Those tests discovered he was suffering from a hormonal imbalance.

It appears treatment for that imbalance is what “reset” him.

Mental illness used to be treated and people helped. Now they are simply told that what they think, what they feel is normal and okay.
