SRS isn't really reassignment- the genes are still the genes, as evidenced by where the fat is stored, build (especially shoulders), relative length of fingers, hair loss patterns, etc. Hormones can only do so much. Still, I admire the courage exhibited by those who go through it in an effort to be true to themselves. It is certainly better than faking your whole life, or taking your life in a fit of desparation.
I self-out a little by "knowing too much" (been said by more than one female coworker, relating to appearance, mostly).
Sometimes Robin needs to get some air, and it would be nice to let her out without endangering my job, reputation, or marriage.
