Girls will be boys...

I have always told people that, if I had children, I would want them to be girls until they are around 10 years old.  This way, you can have the cute little girls, but not have to deal with them dating, which is every father's nightmare in my mind. 

This was always said in jest and with a smile.  That is, until recently when someone told me that, if I want to I could go to the Dominican Republic and get a child just like that!  No, this isn't a lie.  Here is a story (NSFW) from the Urological Sciences Research Foundation about the "Guevedoces" (literally "penis at 12 years").  These are people that are "female" until puberty and then, mystically, grow penises!  There are explicit pictures at this site, so don't visit this from work.

That is crazy.

Update: Seems like this is spreading.  Apparently some 21 year old woman from Myanmar always dreamed of being a man.  Well, she got her wish: her breasts disappeared and she grew a penis overnight.  Here's the link
