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.
As 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.
I 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..."
But 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...
