i wonder what it would be like to be a different gender.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Sex change is a process by which a person or animal changes sex \u2013 that is, by which female sexual characteristics are substituted for male ones, or vice versa. Sex change may occur naturally, as in the case of the sequential hermaphroditism observed in some species. Most commonly, however, the term is used for sex reassignment therapy, including sex reassignment surgery, carried out on humans. It is also sometimes used for the medical procedures applied to intersex people. The term may also be applied to the broader process of changing gender role (\"living as a woman\" instead of living as a man, or vice versa), including but not necessarily limited to medical procedures. Some species exhibit sequential hermaphroditism. In these species, such as many species of coral reef fishes, sex change is a normal anatomical process. Clownfish, wrasses, moray eels, gobies and other fish species are known to change sex, including reproductive functions. A school of clownfish is always built into a hierarchy with a female fish at the top. When she dies, the most dominant male changes sex and takes her place. In the wrasses (the family Labridae), sex change is from female to male, with the largest female of the harem changing into a male and taking over the harem upon the disappearance of the previous dominant male.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "My landlady has a grandson who is 16 and has started hormones as he is going to become a woman."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I know someone who is also doing that.
