It's very simple. My body doesn't match my brain. I've been interested in nulloplasty/glamorplasty for forever. It doesn't make me physically or sexually any less capable. There are surgeons willing to do it now, which there weren't in 2006 when I found out about it. The only thing that stops me from flying out to San Francisco yesterday is the cost.

It looks like madness to you because you have the correct body.

I'd be fine with either body, so long as it's functional, and that's because I don't identify with it. For example, the particilar shape of my hand - five fingers, etc. - doesn't make me feel it's "correct". That shape is common and functional, and that's all. If I had an extra dysfunctional finger sticking out from a wrong place, I'd fix it, but only because it's standing on my way. Having 6 functional fingers wouldnt bother me. I'd add that my attitude to my body is similar to my attitude to a rental car.

I think the connection between your mind and body is stronger than you realize.

I dont identify with my mind either. It's just a thinking machine, an advanced calculator of a sort.
