Bill, change your medication. A transvestite is a person who dresses in the clothing of the opposite sex (commonly referred to simply as a cross-dresser). As Bloodsong has always been appropriately attired, I don't think "transvestite" applies. I think the term your medicated brain was seeking is "transsexual" -- which is a person of one gender who becomes a person of the other gender. Now, a "heshe" or "shemale" is a whole 'nother kind of thing. I don't think this is the place for me to try describing that one. ;)
