Surprised here....but he/she does look good.
I'm a big Stonie fan and wish him luck in his new body. Supposedly people have sex change ops after a life of feeling like they're trapped in the wrong gender body, and they have to go through lots of therapy. You don't just decide to change sexes. Who knew. He must have been very unhappy all these years.
dav242, there's a big difference between thinking you might have it easier as a woman and knowing that your body is wrong. It doesn't matter how attractive others might find you in it, it doesn't matter how much praise you get, your body is the wrong one. I can't even imagine how hard it must be--every part of it, from living day to day with that undefined sense of wrongness, to figuring out why you feel that way, to having the courage to do something about it...let alone staying in the public eye through it all.
As I said before: good for her.
thanks for the reply, issyvoo.
i think the two things could go hand in hand, though - as in, my life would be easier as a woman BECAUSE i know that my body is wrong. i won't go into my own issues, but suffice it to say that my body hasn't felt right because there have been a number of times in my life when i've identified more with being female. and if i could correct that, things would be a little more "right" and certainly easier.
. . .
so - yes, stonie was brave for doing what she did. i've always had tremendous respect for transgendered individuals - for their courage, for being honest and for not caring what anyone else might think of them.
. . .
i'm not at the point yet where i think i'll be able to make that physical change - i still question my gender and have done so since puberty. and maybe one day i'll have the courage to do the same thing.
I loved his hair - as short as it was - so this is probably a wig! Looks awful! There is a checkout boy at my local Supermarket who could be Stonie's identical twin same face, hair and butt - - so I still have him to ogle over, now that "Stonie's" dead!
Dav242, you're right, it takes a lot of courage to do what Stonie did. However, as I'm sure you're aware, the change is, from a scientific standpoint, only superficial, much like changing the cover of a book. Every cell in Stonie's new body (apart from the silicone or whatever other material was used to make the fake breasts) still contains an X and a Y chromosome. And if Stonie decides to have his dick inverted to become a vagina, all the cells in the new vagina will contain an X and a Y chromosome. So despite the superficial change, from a biological standpoint, Stonie was, is and always will be male. He still has his Adam's apple and all the other internal physical differences that separate a man from a woman. So if you ever decide to undergo "that physical change", as you put it, you should be mindful that you will never be able to change the biological fact that you were born a male and will die a male, regardless of what you look like on the outside.
Johns Hopkins University used to carry out transgender surgery until they discovered that the psychological problems which caused a person to undergo this procedure still persisted in a majority of cases after the surgery. They came to the conclusion that they were treating the symptoms and not the cause, so now they now refuse to perform this type of surgery. Without in any way meaning to be disrespectful, I would suggest that you consider professional counselling to enable you to deal with the fact that, as you state, "my body hasn't felt right because there have been a number of times in my life when i've identified more with being female". Transgender surgery should be an action of last resort after at least a couple of years of therapy to address serious psychological problems, not something to make you feel "comfortable". I wish you luck in sorting out the situation you find yourself in. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and I'm sure you'll eventually be able to come to a satisfactory solution to your dilemma.
