Another book about the quest to discover whether men and women are different (and if so, why), is briefly reviewed in the New York Times this week. An interesting quote by a transexual person (a male who has in some way been transformed into a female) provides a clue apparently overlooked by all the gender scholars and brain scientists hard at work on this mystery: 

“The more I was treated as a woman, the more woman I became.”

How does one get into this ever-burgeoning scientific field of sex differences? What a wealth of opportunities! Since the obvious is never taken for granted, you can spend a whole career debunking and rebunking the most common sense things. If you work hard, you might get generous grants to prove that boys are really girls, followed by more grants to prove that girls are really boys. Once you do this, you can then set about proving that boys are really boys and girls are really girls. Before you know it, you’ve got your retirement villa.

By the way, the quote you mention is from the famous author Jan Morris, who was once James Morris. I am a big fan of his writings. Morris’ works of history and travel writing are thoroughly masculine, but the entire literary world bowed to his redefinition of himself, and his wife apparently did too. Still, it doesn’t matter how much lipstick he wears or how many operations he’s had, he thinks like a man.

When he refers to “the more woman I became” he means “I am what I think I am.” This is similar to saying, “The more I was treated as Julius Caesar, the more Julius Caesar I became.”
