and to complete the irony, discovered that he was a man after all a yesr or two into the sentence. Reaching down to what was no longer there ... a loud "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo" echoed down the halls of the cellblock. Well, it could have happened that way.

Funniest stuff in the world. After his sex change, he decided that he was gay and started chasing women, which he which he was not attracted to when he was a man because he was gay. Really good irony. It also points out the pathological nature of people like this.
It sounds kind of similar. These are just psychologically crippled people. It is a shame that doctors are allowed to take advantage of them.
I guess in a way, it’s kind of like Michael Vick announcing he is joining PETA.
It probably did happen that way, but after the first night!! :-)
Wow!!! just Wow!!!
Stupid is as stupid does
I can’t believe there is such an extensive history of Mr./Mrs. Garrison on Wikipedia. That is too funny!
Actually, I was the house mother. My husband was well, just my husband. It was rather interesting. This was in the early 70s. Lots of drugs on campus and various other weird things going on which I won’t go into here. I do remember going to a house mother’s tea (I was 23) wearing a mini skirt and knee high boots, long blond hair.
The fringes of the medical 'profession' have a lot to answer for in enabling these sick individuals to engage in self-mutilation rather than coming to terms with themselves.

Agreed. Imho, it shows an incredible lack of understanding and compassion.
I knew a transsexual; he's dead now. He was a very disturbed person, and cutting off his genitals did NOT fix his problems. It just added more problems to the ones he already had. It's sort of like (though far more severe than) those foolish women who believe that plastic surgery is going to suddenly make them 'all better'.
