please make this able to come true ~crossed happy fingers~ I'm still hoping for things to get more like this.

I am wondering if maybe bpd could be misdiagnosed for pcos? I have hormone imbalances and pcos & traits of bpd but no diagnosis? Could it just be the pcos?

Joanne and I emailed back and forth for a period of several years. One of the most important thigs she left me with was a short story called "I Remember Thee". This pretty much depicted the way that fundamentalists look at the intersexed, even in our age of high technology. TYo me losing this story only makes Joanne's demise more painful to bare. It is like someone has taken away some of my most precious memories of her away from me. Rest in Peace Joanne. I'll see you on the other side of the Rainbow.

This website is far more extensive than just this one opinion column from 2006. Moreover, the site itself is inactive (read the front page article).

Transgenderist propaganda? As in the message that it's okay to not get the surgery? This is ridiculous.

I don't see how Pamela's didn't cross the line when other less ridiculous ones written by openly transgender people did. There seems to be an obvious bias here.

"Let's face it Mike, "Transgnders" DON'T "transition" because they ARE transgenders and only playing at being the other gender; " "Like I said before, go back to living your life of a lie OR look in the mirror and admit to yourself and your psychiatrist that you have been lieing about being anything BUT a crossdresser." ok proof that there are being attacks on transgender people on this website. But if someone called you out on how you misspelled lying and told you something as rude as you've said to Michael they'd be banned.

This website is a troll. It's just transexual/post op or whichever preferred term attacking transgendered/p referred term people with the argument cis-gendered people present, that being transgender is just dressing up for attention or whatever and is just in their heads. I haven't had the time to research the chromosomal or genetic diseases you reference as 'proof'. Nor have I had the time to possibly try and understand your reasoning, which you use to try and discredit transgender people but say just as much about them as they do about you. If this is answered you will probably attack everything but my actual point which ...

Some people just do not read, nor understand. This site was run by post-ops who do in fact understand. Put an article like this in the context of the entire site and the offended might have a different view.

I did the same thing. This is just cruel. Our lives are already a joke enough as it is without this kind of crap to help us feel worse. Is it any wonder that our suicide rates our so high when people do things like this to us knowing how much we go through as it is?

This isn't satire, this is just cruel. It's not funny. It's not ok. For some of us it's not a matter of "making us a woman" it's a matter that we deserve the same abilities as other women and it's natures cruel joke that we have to go through any of this [deleted] at all.

Great; Teachers SHOULD be more accountable and "tenure" should NOT protect them when they are poor performers. New York City is a prime example of what's wrong with tenure where they CANNOT remove ineffective teachers and those who commit other crimes in the classroom and have excessive absences. They end up sitting in a room doing nothing BUT collecting their full salary. No where in Private indistry is their "Job Tenure" and there is no excuse for it in schools.cw3gy

This year, he is further stoking tensions among another key Democratic constituency — teachers — by seeking to hold them more accountable, including by overhauling tenure rules.

Please, let's end this conversation as it is does not serve a productive end. If it doesn't end, I will block further comments.

Bless you too dear. But I am sure that my posts won't sway you either way. Each reader will just need to read it and decide.

AHHH , Bless your little heart believe what you want; The more you screech the more I doubt its true; But you have a good day now you hear ?

Pamela, You are just not believing in the facts. 1) Transsexuals were reported in reputable journals to have ovarian transplants and footage of said procedure was presented at conferences 2) The authors are licensed/certif ied specialty physicians 3) The ovaries feminized the transsexuals bodies 4) At follow-up after one year the ovaries were not rejected. You can dispute away. But they are facts. You want another group to repeat the procedure. Fine. But the procedure and findings did happen. Bless you too.

So,you are a "true" believer; with not much evidence and some how I doubt that the Chinese doctors are "reputable physicians" and that it is a credible medical report when it has NOT been repeated, GO ahead and believe,Some people believe in Fairies, Mermaids and Leprechans. I dispute your "facts" and what you call reputable. Now go off and have a good time; Bless Your Heart.

The references that I have provided do contain more truth and evidence than you are providing. It is not s story. It is a credible medical report in credible reputable journals by credible reputable physicians. I will believe them over you. It is sad that you have not presented facts but just a blatant dismissal of procedures that have been documented in med journals and conferences.

And you have provided no more truth or evidence. Sad; Believe what you want; the story lacks credibility.

You have not provided contradictory data or facts. I will believe the facts. They have not ever been rescinded by the authors. I also believe what was presented at the conference. That is not more exposure. Again, as I told Sharon, this was not a research study but instead a medical report.

Believe what you want; As Sharon said; " "The reported surgical event(s) have not been replicated. From a medical research perspective, the work is not fully documented without replication (among other factors)." Now you claim more exposure for it BUT with no further replication of the operation.

The reports are accurate and they have actual medical data which are published in a respectable medical journal. I have seen the presentation at the CSU symposium. If you think that it is staged or not true then you need to provide proof-not what you "strongly suspect" or think "It still sounds like". The readers of this forum can just check the references themselves. PS- I did indicate that I would like to have functioning ovaries

Despite all her hysterical screeches; It still sounds like a load of bull from someone that is desperately hoping something like this could be true. I strongly suspect its a person that would desire this operation to the point that they are susceptible any scam or far fetched report lacking in actual medical data.

Well, I have tried to be fair. In any case, I think this thread has outlived any usefulness it ever had, given that the comments have wandered away from the original satirical article.

Who said it is research study? It is a CLINICAL REPORT that DOCUMENTS that a clinicsal procedure did take place and described it. You should know that clinical report is a clinical report and this is what it is. You are wromg. The transplantation of ovarian transplants in a transsexual DID occur. There was no rejection of the ovaries after one year follow-up in at least one patient. The transplanted ovaries DID feminize the transsexual. There was also another summary published a few months later in the same journal. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../7809245 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7809245) If you want more details there ...

The reported surgical event(s) have not been replicated. From a medical research perspective, the work is not fully documented without replication (among other factors). Also, I did in fact read the source article. I do not resist your claims lightly. It is just that to do this at all it is important to do it well, to be thorough, and proliferate the results. I do a lot of work in bioscience and medical research. This piece does not pass muster. I wish it did, and perhaps the successor work will improve the situation, but we aren't there yet.

Sharon, your statements are not correct. First you wrote "To date there is no documented case of effective ovarian and/or uterine transplantation in any person born transsexual" I have provided you evidence that in fact there is documented case in Plas Rec Surg. that the case DID occur and that the authors did write they had SUCCESSFULLY done the ovarian transplant operations. Furthermore, the success was not only in the transplantation but the EVIDENCE provided in the hormonal changes of the FUNCTION of the ovaries for at least one year. Further they state that the patients feminization is based upon the ovarian ...
