If you are concerned, Julia, about your loss of rights, then why not "simply revert back to your male self"? You've lived with it before, you can live with it again. I, for one, stopped being able to live as a "male".
You write as if no-one other than TS have ever fought and bled. I have fought and bled. I'm probably going to lose my job over my battles, most likely in either March or July 2012.
