     Yes, but her real sex is now female thanks to Genma. <<

And "she" never knew she was a boy to begin with? And I though she was a
girl to begin with all along.
Nice try but it doesn't work that way. There is documented evidence that
altering a child's sex and expecting them to grow up accepting their new
sex is a fuitle exercise. The body "knows" what sex its supposed to be and
will push the mind in that direction.
The only concivable way I can see this happening is via magic. Enough of it
to alter Ranma at the biochemical level.
Which is way you did it isn't it?

  Just a small point I'd like to make about this. This is "Hitomi's" work and
therefore, subject to "her" whims of how the story should go, not how it was
laid out in previous fics or those done by The Almighty Goddess  Takahashi-sama
herself ". It doesn't have to conform to the "well documented" facts on the
matter because this is just a story and as much as I'd love it to be, the Ranma
1/2 universe does not follow the same physical guidelines and restrictures of
physics and biochemistry that ours does! Otherwise we should be able to see a
lot of martial artists being able to wield KI blasts and "Hurricane Kicks" and
"Dragon Punches" and the like, shouldn't we?  0_o  Nuff said.
