On June 15, Richard Ramsey checked into Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol Township for major surgery. When he left three days later, Ramsey was no longer Richard, but Renee. Her first words to her doctor when she awakened after the operation were, "Now I'm the lady I always knew I was."
Ramsey, a tall, lean woman, neatly turned out in black tailored pants and a lavender turtleneck sweater that used to be her wife's, is likely the oldest person in the United States to have surgery to change genders, experts say. She is 77.
...
"I would have liked to be a lady a long time ago," says Ramsey, a U.S. Navy veteran of 20 years who also says he served in special operations in the Army.
"Now, the hardest thing I have to do is learn to be a lady," said Ramsey, who grew up in northern New Jersey and still lives there. "Little girls learn it from the time they're 5 or 6 or even younger. I'm just starting out. I have to learn and unlearn. When I get angry at someone, I have to practice acting like a lady instead of sounding off like I used to do.
"But now I feel calm, happy, and relaxed. And do you know what makes me feel the best? When I get on a train and the conductor says, 'May I have your ticket, ma'am?' I feel like a million dollars."

I take it you wouldn’t “date” her, a former him?
Now where would this lost soul have oodles of money?
As a VET, their health care is taken care of through Veteran Benefits. Do you really think independent health care providers are going to pay for THIS? Pressure on Veteran Benefits would have more success since he was a VET.
Yes, YOU PAID FOR IT THROUGH TAX DOLLARS!
As a former Marine I have always suspected that swabbies wish they were born girls. If you don’t believe me, look at their uniform; dixie cup hats, bell bottoms, blouses and neckerchiefs. Shoosh - pretty soon they will start wearing designer cammies - oh I forgot, they are.
I guess we are doomed to let them “do their thing”. But, it is preposterous that they insist we view it as NORMAL!
As the writer.
FINALLY, A LADY
A small but growing number of people are identifying themselves as transgender. Richard/Renee Ramsey is likely the oldest to make the surgical switch.

BTW this is no “lady”. It is a confused soul that surgerically became a female. Notice the bias in the title by Gloria Hochman. Apparently Gloria is inspired by the courage to tout this confusion at YOUR EXPENSE.
wonder if it is really is a veteran
was it army or navy it
a U.S. Navy veteran of 20 years who also says he served in special operations in the Army.
Nope sorry dude it doesn’t work that way. You were born a man you will die a man just one without his equipment. Thanks-God I live in a state that doens’t allow the sex on the birth certificate to be changed.
It’s a man baby!
LOL! What they probably did was humor him. Put him out, taped his junk up between his legs and handed him a wig and some happy pills on his way out the door.
Heck they’ll line up for “bottom” and “top” surgeries!
It’s truly sick out there.
BTW, seriously, thank you for being a Marine.
We appreciate what you do for us.
YOU keep U.S. strong.
Excuse my ignorance but are sex change operations covered under private insurance companies?
If not, i’ll bet they where included in Pelosi’s bil.
The Navy or other sailors would have keelhauled the idiot.
Let see- WAVs are female sailors, BAMs are (broad a*sed Marines). Is Lindsay a WAF?

GUILTY!!!! HIT IT WITH A STICK!!! WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN NOT BE UNSEEN
And this man had the ‘chopadickoffamy’.
Correction Ramsey/Lindsay is a WTF!!
My Psychologist friend (former friend, a Zero supporter) said that the profession changed the designation of Homosexuality in the 70s. They put it in the ‘variation of normal’ category from the ‘personality disorder’ category. I asked her then ‘what’s normal about it?’. No answer. They were PC before we knew what PC was.

YOU MADE MY DAY!!
I needed that.

Looks like Hume Cronyn in drag.
