It's really common now to have gender reassignment surgery. Do you know anyone that has gone through the process?
I do not.  I didn't think it was that common to have the surgery though!
It can include simply replacing hormones in someone but extends to reassignment at birth when you have intersex children. We live in a really amazing world! 
Yes, have you read Middlesex by chance?
I havent. I've heard it was a bestseller. Who wrote Middlesex?
A fellow with a very long Greek name that starts with an 'E' that I can't spell.  It wasn't autobiographical, but it was very informative.
Very interesting. I will have to check it out!
I recommend it!  I thought they weren't doing gender reassignment surgeries routinely anymore?
