Whoa, man!

Here is a pretty sick story about a man who “became” a woman.  He paid some doctor to remove certain items and …um… rewire some things (I’m guessing here.  I really don’t care to know the nitty gritty details).  He then filed some paperwork with the government to legally change his gender from male to female.  So he’s a woman now, right? I don’t think so.  If you were to take a look at his DNA, you would still find that pesky Y chromosome, which makes him a male.  If I were to have a trunk surgically attached to my face and make my ears large and flappy, I’d be no closer to being an elephant than this man is to being a woman.  Physical appearance and legal documents don’t make us anything at all in this regard.  All this surgery has done is make him one unattractive woman.
