Since coming to grips with her condition and seeking therapy, Jessica has started hormone therapy and is saving up the $17,500 necessary for a sex-change operation, formally called gender reassignment surgery.

She also has come out to the police department, which in January allowed her to dress as a woman at work, including makeup and fingernail polish. Not that she's lost anything when confronting suspects, even in topaz earrings.

"When I get loud, I sound like a man," she said. "It throws the bad guys off. They can think whatever they want. I don't care."

Its one of those new fangled gadgets you hear about.
You just bore a hole into your head, stick it in and pull the lever.
It works... changing gender, sex or some combination thereof 1 time in a million,
other times you've got a spliting headache, or your dead... Sorry.

Nah, all it takes is water (hot or cold) if you're Ranma Saotome:

As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, but hot water will change him back into a boy.
