DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) High on prescription painkillers and four days without sleep, Michael Berke raced his Harley to the megachurch where hed found a home.
He barged into the church office, cursing loudly and wearing a mesh shirt printed with profanity. In his hands he held a picture of a woman with long, red hair and pouty lips.
This is who I used to be, he said.
And this he gestured to his breastless chest, bald head and red goatee is who Ive become.
He was born a man. After a lifetime as a social misfit, he had transformed himself into Michelle, a saucy redhead. Then, three months ago, he had become Michael again with the financial aid and spiritual encouragement of Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale.

It’s hard being from South Florida sometimes. We seem to compete with California for the most lunatics per capita now.

I always have to wonder what plastic surgeons would say to someone who wanted to cut off their left hand because of a lifetime as a social misfit.

Just more evidence that the so-called “sex change to suit the gender within” is more mutilation than treatment. The underlying problems, including high rates of psychosis, are what need to be treated. The knife doesn’t fix that. There are several studies that folks ignore that show psychosis persists after the “gender reassignment” surgery. This man is another example of the problem.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that cutting Mr. Happy off, is akin to pulling the trigger. Once it’s go, it’s gone....I mean it’s really, really gone.
It seems this guy/whatever has screwed himself, so to speak.

My husband knows two men who have been transgendered, and neither one of them are happy. They are both so ugly that they are just miserable.

What next? I buy a french magazine Paris Match for my wife, kind of People and Time magazines combined together. A few weeks ago they had a story on two priests - they were women, that had both been men, had sex changes and were now lesbian lovers - I think.

Instead , try "two who were mutilated" or "two who had their equipment removed" or "two who gave up their goods."

I agree. You can’t make a man into a woman with cosmetic surgery, any more than you can make a horse into a zebra by painting stripes on it.

Wow..this guy don’t know which way he’s swinging. Pick a gender and go with it!

I’m guessing they were miserable before and some psycho PhD told them a major operation would be the answer. Then it didn’t solve the problem of them being miserable.
These doctors are butchers.

There's more craziness here and right now... like extreme body modification to other species (lizards, cats etc...)
Something is also wrong with those performing these barbaric operations.
