You originally asked:
Now you claim "Whether there is a fundamental difference between men and animals is beside the point." So if I cannot answer that psychologically speaking there is a huge and principal difference between wanting to become another gender and wanting to become another species, then your idea that the two situations are comparable seems rather circular, don't you think? And remember Mr. Mountain Man, even if two different situations have one thing in common it certainly does not follow that they are comparable in every other respect.
