    Well, If you're married it may be more difficult (one advantage to being gay
for me!), but look into it if you're serious. Brent and I were sure that we
couldn't afford it (we'd heard costs of $5000) but a friend recently went through
the process as part of her/his sex change (F2M), and told me that it was ony abut
$50 here in Colorado. It may be easier than you think.
