OK, Warren Beattys oldest Daughter is named Kathlyn, she wants to become a man and she now goes by the name Stephen, according to the article she had her breasts removed, and she's having second thoughts about have the waist down taken care of. Here's where I'm confused though, read this:

According to The National Enquirer, the 20-year-old student and activist 'has put his sex change plans on hold.'

A family insider told the publication: 'He suddenly misses his feminine side, dressing up and wearing make-up and jewellery.

Back in January, Stephen revealed he had a boyfriend, writing on Twitter: 'I'm trans and gay. Double the fun.'

The Enquirer reports that Stephen purchased rhinestone heels to wear to the graduation of his boyfriend, said to be a fellow student.

He recently wrote on his blog: 'I have been moving toward a more femme presentation.'

If she's attracted to men why not stay a woman then? I really think this person is a little whacked out, at least Chaz Bono was able to put into words what she was feeling, but Kathlyn confuses the heck out of me.

used to be these people were called crazy and they got help.  Now they get surgery.

I don't understand this whacked-out shit.

A guy I served with years ago, married and had kids, decided a couple-three years ago he's really a woman. Changed his name. Presumably divorced his wife.

He's apparently pre-op, so he's still got his 'nads.

Claims he's gay, because he/she/it is still attracted to women.

WTF? Can't these people make up their freakin' MINDS

Too many options - sex these days is like choosing from a chinese delivery menu.

Now the surgeons are crazy.

Now the surgeons are crazy.

No, they ain't crazy. They're hungry. They don't give a shit who or what they're cutting on, as long as they're cutting on somebody. It's how they pay the bills.

Why don't they just convert to Islam and become dead sex partners for muslims?

My wife's cousin's husband pulled this shit on her. After 2 kids, too.

Did his X-wife do the surgery for him.....I would have.

[BattleHymn]

I feel sorry for people like Cher's daughter, and this woman.  

I also feel sorry for their families.  

[CG6468]

Did his X-wife do the surgery for him.....I would have.

Unfortunately, no. And - ready for this? - they lived in Salt Lake City and so did the doctor who did it.

Maybe he had multiple wives and he had finally woren the thing out.

...or Mormons are greedy too.

The Enquirer reports that Stephen purchased rhinestone heels

Now it makes no difference whether or not Stephen is having second thoughts about taking the final step in the sex change, and claiming to be gay isn't going to do Stephen any good.  It's a simple fact that neither the gay community nor the transgendered community is going to accept, as a member, somebody who recently purchased rhinestone heels.

Did I just burn my bridge back to DU?

What do you expect? These people are insane. And please, people, call them by the gender that they were born by. It gets so confusing reading these articles because you get lost in whether or not this person used to be a male or a female. No matter what you chop off or have put back on, you will still always be a male/female deep down. Your DNA will never change because of whatever surgery you had done.

You guys are so right. It used to be in Psychology manuals where it listed homosexuality as a disorder, now it's been removed so these people just keep going crazy in everyday life.

It is the offspring of Warren Beatty. The poor thing never had a chance.

Well, the tombstone is always an option.

The Hollywood parents in this case encouraged her at a young age.  I remember reading about her years ago.  So now at the still very young age of 20 she has mutilated her body on what may have been a phase.  That is just sad.  I think there should be age limitations on gender reassignment of 25 or 30.  You don't even really grow your adult brains in until then anyway.
