If it were based on the way I live now, then no, I would not want to live forever. The reasons why are very personal so forgive me for not sharing them with you.

What makes you think either one is gross. They're simply choosing to take the final step in what they believe they were meant to be. It's too bad that you are that hard hearted and can't understand what a person like this goes through emotionally before they make that decision.

The "plumbing" of a male turned into a female looks similar to the real thing, yes. I've not seen a female turned into a male, however...SO DON'T ASK!!!! LOL

For all intents and purposes any person having a sex change is then the gender they chose to be. One cannot be a lesbian after the change and one cannot be a gay male after the operation, even though the plumbing, as it were, is not totally intact. I've known men who have been through it and they are all considered to be a woman no matter what, albeit a sex change. Whether or not she/he would be considered whatever they chose to be in a court of law is all that matters in these cases.
