    i feel that her question is valid. perhaps she feels the need to change her skin color the way others feel they need to change their sexual orienation. are you implying that those who feel they should have been the opposite gender are nuts as well?

    many people believe that when they change their surroundings, they change themselves. although that is true, what they fail to realize is that some things are more deeply rooted than simply what is on the outside. they don’t see that there is more work to be done than relocation alone. they may be gripping on to the past, afraid that if they change their way of life, then somehow they are forgetting who they ‘truly’ are (after all, they lived most of, it not all, of their lives that way). certain behaviors may be so deeply rooted, it becomes like trying to ‘get a leopard to change his spots’, but they aren’t permanent spots, merely difficult stains.
