Goodness, what odd things can happen in this world of blogging. Alan Brain (see left) kindly recommended this site in a post a few weeks ago, and now appears to be undergoing a not unwelcomed dramatic alteration in his life, due to hormonal changes the source of which he says are a medical mystery. Not only that, he wants to complete the task, as it were, inviting donations.
I don't think he is joking; he sounds sincere. But unusually "matter of fact" about it. He wasn't on 4 corners tonight, was he?
No one has commented on this yet as far as I can see from my blog role. Certainly there are no comments on his site to his "new image" post. I can just imagine everyone out there being slack jawed like me wondering what to make of it.
That is all I can think of to say about it ....
It's hilarious - but I'm not joking.
ReplyDeleteAs for "matter of fact", well, you know what happens to test pilots' voices when things start turning to custard.
As I flatly stated to the endocrinologist after calmly reciting various figures for weight etc over time "This is the way I deal with stress situations. I calmly and rationally analyse and externalise them. This is my panic reaction, and believe you me, I'm in a full-fledged panic right now."
It's only afterwards, when the fuss is past, that I gibber in the corner for a bit.
Though as of a few days ago, when I said "To heck with it, let the world know", I've felt a lot better, even starting to enjoy things.
I had a word with the CEO of my firm today - instead of transitioning to female appearance in January, as I'd planned, the male appearance is becoming so unconvincing that it might have to be in 3-4 weeks.
I can't wait.
BTW the 4 Corners program was about as accurate as humanly possible. First rate.
ReplyDeleteI even cried twice. Firstly at the description of Kevin's Puberty Blues (you can have no idea how hellish it can be... really...) as I recalled my own, and then when they all lived happily ever after.
Kevin may be genetically XX, but he's a million times more male than I ever was.
By the way, that should be "she sounds sincere..."
ReplyDeleteBut you're forgiven. It took me a little time for me to get used to the concept myself, I don't expect others to do so in a hurry. :-)
And even I forget to do neccessary things, like change my Blogger ID...
