I would never change my sex. However, I have considered species reassignment surgery. My surgeon says this is what I would look like as a cat:

EAGLESWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - To students at Eagleswood Elementary School, she used to be Mr. McBeth. Now, after undergoing a sex change, 71-year-old Lily McBeth is ready to return to teaching as Miss McBeth.
Despite criticism from parents, the school board on Monday stood by its decision to allow McBeth to resume working as a substitute teacher.
After two hours of public debate and a private meeting with McBeth and her lawyer, the board took no action on calls by several parents to bar McBeth from returning to the school where she taught for five years before becoming a woman.
"It was magnificent," McBeth said afterward. "You saw democracy in action."
McBeth, a retired sales executive who was married for 33 years and had three children, underwent gender reassignment surgery last year and re-applied for her job under her new name.
McBeth on Monday told the school board and the crowd that she loves teaching and children, and looks forward to returning to the classroom.

Several parents said children in the school - which consists of kindergarten through sixth grade - were not old enough to understand the concept of changing one's gender.
"I, as a parent, am appalled to have this issue brought into my child's psychology," Steve Bond said.
Vincent Mustacchio predicted "chaos" at the school when the students learned of McBeth's surgery.
Young children will be confused by the conflicting appearance of McBeth, who has a deep voice and masculine features but otherwise looks like a woman, other parents said.
"I will not allow you to put my kids in a petri dish and hope it all turns out fine," said Mark Schnepp, who had taken out an ad in a local newspaper urging parents to turn out for the meeting.

Sex change at 70?
That seems ridiculous in and of itself, not to mention the rest.
Chenney is the more attractive.
Isn't that special!
It's a target-rich environment.
This guy is mentally sick. Unbelievable.
"Since women live longer than men, I am wondering if this guy just extended his life by four years, lol"
Life is all that was extended.
Well she had three children, ummmm I guess they meant fathered three children.
David Lee's radio show doesn't appear to be going so well as he's suddenly taking an unannounced "vacation" this week.
This is just digusting. Besides, at 71, why bother?
Life imitates South Park. Homeschool, homeschool, homeschool!
Perhaps someone got a clue that a "sex change" is impossible.
Or this is just another attmept to make perversion acceptable. Like using the word "gay" instead of homosexual.
Wow...talk about "the change of life"...
Something tells me she-he will learn very soon. I wonder if she-he will try to have those kids punished.
Remember that the next time you drive by The Projects.
