Wino Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hard to beleive he would do this operation at this late stage in his life. At age 77, Richard Ramsey is likely among the oldest people in the U.S. to undergo a sex-change operation. In June, the 20-year Navy veteran from New Jersey became Renee, telling her doctor, "Now I'm the lady I always knew I was," reported the Philadelphia Inquirer. Ramsey, who's one of about 700,000 people in the U.S. who would describe themselves as transgendered, says she knew from the time she was a child that she was "different" -- but went on to marry twice and have four children, the paper said. "Now, the hardest thing I have to do is learn to be a lady," Ramsey said. "When I get angry at someone, I have to practice acting like a lady instead of sounding off like I used to do." http://news.aol.com/health/article/navy-veteran-richard-ramsey-has-sex/761734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wino Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Here is another weird story. Widower Charlie Bonn Kemp, 77, of Vero Beach, Fla., took especially hard the loss of his wife, Lee, in 2006 because she was unquestionably the love of his life even though the couple had stopped having sex even before they got married in 1978. According to a June 2007 St. Petersburg Times profile, Lee had been Charlie's gay lover for 26 years, until revealing in 1978 that he could no longer resist the urge to become a woman, and especially a housewife. Such was their attachment that, following Lee's full sex change, she and Charlie decided to take advantage of Lee's new status and legally marry, and continue their devotion, even though Charlie remained sexually attracted only to men.
