I don't know anyone personally, but I guy I used to play sports with worked with someone who decided to become a woman. They all worked for a bank, which is a pretty conservative office environment. The HR department basically sent out a memo saying "Effective June 15th, Michael will be known as Mary"...if you can even believe that. So my friend helped organize a "welcome Mary to the team party" so it would be less awkward for everyone involvee. I thought that was pretty classy of him. At the party he went up to Mary and said he had enjoyed knowing Michael and was looking forward to getting to know him as Mary.

Was he female-to-male? That might be more convincing, just because society is generally more accepting of a short, small-featured man than a tall, broad, large-featured woman.

And interesting idea for the band. I'd check them out.

They were a good opening act - fun, with not-bad humorous songs that kept the crowd entertained, without ever threatening to outshine us musically. Our bass player finished his set with them, took a break for about fifteen minutes, and then started playing with us.

He's about my height and weight. I've never seen a photo of him, pre-operation, so I don't know how he looked as a girl. he made the switch while a teenager in a small Indiana town, which must have been challenging.
