And I know that’s not the central point you’re trying to make here. Moreover, I tend to agree with the notion that I am my body’s ulitmate ruler, deciding on what I do with it in whatever shape or form it eventually becomes.

What I do fear is the potential for the psychiatric community to marginalize the treatment of transsexuals by measuring physiological responses that would indicate if someone is an autogynephilic transsexual.

You’re right, you’re body IS your own.
