For another "Trad" reference:

Girls if you must love
Love one another.

As for sex changes . . at one point a local company here (of about 300 employees at the time) had four staff members who no longer exhibited the gender they'd been born with. There's a single photograph of about 30 people which includes 3 out of the 4. (Three had changed in one direction, one in the other.)

There are some "better known" sex changes, but I prefer not to "name names" in this sort of matter.

On a not unrelated topic. There's an article in the current Big Issue about lack of sensitivity towards homosexual partners in the UK at present . . things like being denied visiting rights in hospitals because the rules say "close relatives only". However, the really encouraging point in the article is that Age Concern is now campaigning against this anti-homosexual discrimination.

So, Wolfgang, if the German changes are upheld that will put you well ahead of us!
