Well, there goes that theory. Cruelly slain by an ugly little fact.
Back in September last year, I'd written about what fragments we know about IPSR - Idiopathic Partial Sex Reversal. There's isn't a lot. I had stated that
"All other previous cases have been in their 40's. All have been TS though, and this one doesn't break the pattern."
Now there's one at 60, and this guy is a guy, not a gal. No reported gender identity issues.
From the UK Telegraph:
A man with high levels of the female hormone oestrogen is naturally turning into a woman, but doctors say the process is irreversible.
From the title on my unread messages I knew it was another of Zoe's essays. One of her favorite phrases for things she thought to be true and weren't. *smile*
For those of you who don't read her blog I appeal to you: Please do. Zoe's brain is one of the best going at the ins and outs of the "science of transsexuality." And her heart is one of the most open, tender and discerning I have ever known. She's well-worth a bookmark. One somewhere at the forward end of your bookmarks bar.

I always enjoy finding Zoe's blog postings in my search for news items. She's fantastic and has a wonderful take on things!

I'll add my thumbs-up to Zoe's blog.
She also does battle in some fundie-hotbed blogs, preaching the gospel of science to the pharisees -- truly a sublime pearls-before-swine activity, but with the hope that some moderates read and are guided toward reason.
