[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 657898, member: 6533"] I don't know much about the specific practices of sex 'fixing' in the US, but they are there, more common than anyone would like to believe, and there have been some 'unusual' results. This could easily be a friend of friend thing, but I knew someone who did childcare for a baby that had not been 'fixed' but evidently needed to be. There was a series of autobiographical books by a man who had been fixed as a girl, later went for a sex change operation, and became very upset about having to go through childhood as a girl in the first place. Can't for the life of me remember the titles. I like Merleau-Ponty. My undergrad university, the University of Dallas, had a strong phenomenology component in both the philosophy and psychology departments. Psych really pushed this existential-phenomenological approach which involved reading a fair amount of Merleau-Ponty, not really my thing, but the papers were great to read. The philosophy department was also strong on medieval and classical so I got lectured on nice connections between Merleau-Ponty and Augustine and Aquinas. Generally involved lots of graphs. Good job scamming yer way into the grad classes. Had a friend of a friend who went to Berkeley as an undergrad and just got lost in the masses. There was much sadness. [/QUOTE]
