A commmon problem for transgendered people. However, if the process was
accomplished in an aboveground (non-shadow) clinic, then there would have
been a year of Real Life Test, a series of legal motions filed to recognize
the change in status, etc. I can only assume that Ms. Dwight went through
her surgery and subsequent therapy in a shadow clinic.

Tried it on? You mean as in making advances? I would hope that Ms. Dwight
would react as a woman...
>Has anyone else had any wierd characters like this.
Hm. Something in me just doesn't like the term "weird" applied to a
transgendered person. Maybe I've known one too many and found them to be
nice, normal people in most senses, with certainly more centeredness and
more sense of self than most people have. I'm not trying to flame here, but
I have to ask this: Did you do any research on transgendering before you
worked up this character?
