George William Jorgensen, Jr. had balls. Emphasis on "had." He decided to have them lopped off, and have his penis turned into a vagina.
   Instant woman?
   Hardly.
   Long before Chaz Bono began dancing with transgender tenacity, there was Christine Jorgensen. She/he made headlines as the world's first known man to have sexual reassignment surgery.

Christine Jorgensen was the first American to have SRS. The procedure was being done in Germany (where it was originally developed) long before she heard about it.
