Q: My friend's daughter now says she's transgender and had surgery to remove her breasts last week. I guess I should have written my friend's "son." Anyway, "he" seems thrilled with his results, but he is still a girl where it counts, so it is very confusing. And does this make him gay, or what?

A: With all the news about Chaz Bono being transgender, your question provides a timely reminder of how complex the whole topic of gender identity can be -- and how easily gender identity can be confused with questions of sexual orientation. They are in fact quite different; so let me see what I can do to help you understand what's going on with your friend's son.

Quite frankly, this piece of work is a pervert.

They claim the be a friend, yet are thinking about their 'friend's' child's sex life.

Oh good morning Mrs. X, how's that sone of yours? Still a virgin? Well, means I still have a shot!

Perverts.

That so called friend can call that child whatever they want, provided they don't object to the compliment being returned. 

I think of you as a girl. Oh that's OK I think of you as a flithyl little pervert who eats s***.
