ezs note:  While I cannot speak for all the blogs out there, I do pride myself in going for the thoughtful ones and printing them in Emily's Virtual  Rocket.  If you are seriously considering changing your gender (either cosmetically or surgically)  please find a good psychologist.  The ones to avoid, however, are "reparative therapy specialists"  These are quacks.
