Maybe we need to take a poll.

ATTENTION FFML'ers:  If you suddenly found yourself turned into the
opposite sex, down to the level of your chromosones, and such a change
was IRREVERSIBLE, would you:

A)  Keep your body AND your sexual preference;

B)  Keep your body and CHANGE your sexual preference;

C)  Have surgery to return your body to its former gender;

D)  Other (please state);

E)  Bap Lawson for asking you such a stupid question?

Mutliple answers are allowed.  :)  If you want to make comments, I'll
publish them along with the results.


Oh well.  Might as well answer this thing.  A or B, depending on who the 
"right" person is.  Love, the kind of love that sticks, is an intimate 
_friendship_ between people, not genders.  Most of the people here that 
I've heard from on this ML have forgotten that.  We've been clouding the 
issue so much with sex, that we've forgotten what love is.  

I am straight, but a virgin by choice.  The relationships I've been 
involved in (which, regrettably, have been sparse of late) have been 
non-sexual.  This may make me naive in such matters, but I hope not.  
Although I may disagree with certain matters of my upbringing 
(old-fashined Catholic), I will still live my life by those tenets as 
best I can, as they do have a practicality to them.

I'm tempted to do E, given the 100+ emails I've had to put up with...

Sorry.  This witty quote is not here right now, but if you leave your name
and number at the sound of the tone, it might get back to you.
