That's as may be, but I'm not sure that's a hard-and-fast truth
when it comes to Jusenkyo curses.  Does Ryoga, Shampoo or
Mousse have the brains of a mere pig/cat/duck in their cursed
forms?  No!  Their true selves are merely locked away in the
form of said creatures.  And the same goes for Ranma.  Now,
Scott Jamison's doing a terrific job taking the opposite tack,
insofar as Ranma's curse gives him the mind of a female as
well as the body, but it's quite clearly a completely different
person when in 'Ranko's' form.

    Hmm..... who say's Mousse/Shampoo/Ryouga/Tarou don't act like their curses
when in HUMAN form??? Heheh.. I can debate this very well, if you wish to hear.
I do, however, fully agree with the "Curse-gone/Mental Change over long time"
theory.. because it is quite logical, having no solace on an Object like the
Kasuifhuu, or the Phoenix Pill, Ranma's Male mind will slowly lose the battle
that has been waged between Yin and Yang since he got the curse.    I think, to
be honest, that Ranma has been fighting against becoming female, or he wouldn't
HATE his female form so much.  We hate that which we fear, we fear that which we
do not understand.  Understanding comes through acceptance, Acceptance through
revelation, and Revelation through exploration.
    *Bows* Thank you.
