Hm. I hadn't known that the problem had a physical/neurological basis beyond, er, the obvious - though I'd never doubted its seriousness or the
sincerity of those afflicted. It does raise the thought, though, that most of the 'magic reassignment' sources I've seen in fiction, both fan and
pro, were of a sort - either literally magic or sufficiently ultratech to realign at the cellular level - that'd be at least capable of altering brain
chemistry on the fly. That is, that someone like Ranma would be more likely to have the brain wiring go from 'Situation: Male, check' to
'Situation: Female, check' rather than 'Situation: Female, ERROR!'

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
