Mystery "sex change" leaves people baffled.

:twisted: All I can say is that if this article is true than it's a testament to how much our bodies can be changed. One night and she/he went from female to male. From the article it seems obvious that there was no trauma to her/his just a bit of a shock at going to bed female and waking up male. This should give some encouragement to those that want to change their gender without surgery. :twisted:

Where did you find that article? That's amazing if it's true! :)

:twisted: I think it may be true. It gives us the possibility that the human body can dramatically change in a short time. There is another explanation as to how this occurred. Many of you might find it easier to accept. Science is starting to say that there may be different universes other than our own. Now with this idea it could be that he/she somehow switched bodies with his/her counterpart in one of the other universes and his/her mind stayed in this one. That would account for how fast it happened and why he/she apparently didn't feel anything through the night. :twisted:

No offense, but that theory is more far fetched than the idea of a physical transformation.

I agree that the thought of body swaping is indeed farfetched scientifically isn't the big bang theory farfetched... infact scientifically bees can't fly either. So even if it is farfetched that doesn't make it true

Sorry all, but I have heard of this - its a genetic disease. It's kinda like a variation on androgen insensitivity - except that you're only immune to weaker forms of androgens. Puberty hits and with it comes a rush of strong androgens you're not immune to - and with it comes aparent sex change. Actually male all along - female is just the 'default' developmental pathway, so without androgens, you appear female, but you're also not producing the female level of hormones either. It's very common in one particular region of northern Europe from memory.

Sorry to say it, but you really can't change your genes through force of will - generally you're born with something, or something changes while you're alive and you get some kind of cancer.

hoax (as most of these far fetched stories in third world countries are)

This issue won't be settled that easily you know. You do make some good arguements except for the doctors. What you sited doctors do do but a complete gender change without any medical explanation is quite different from those creams and pills that have at least a theoretical medical explanation.

I am curious why some people seem to believe that this is true. Is it wishful thinking? Naiveness? Let's be honest, if some guy came up to you off the street and mentioned that less than 24 hours ago he was a woman, we'd all write him off as drunk, drugged out, a smart ass, etc. So why is it that a story about the same thing happening to a person in a third world country halfway around the world has people believing.

Is it because some foreign newspaper ran the story and one news agency foolishly distributes it without checking it out? Just because something makes a news site does not mean it's true. Why, just last week, CNN (both web and TV), Yahoo news, etc. ran stories about gullible Japanese people buying sheep thinking that they were dogs. But whoops.... Turns out that the news bureaus were the gullible ones.

So I ask, why are people willing to throw common sense out the window and embrace this story.

Seeing as how I can't find any other articles relating to this affect, I'm sure this is completely bogus.
