I'm always a bit surprised to see that whenever this 变性 subject gets the attention of the media, it's almost without exception a male to female sex change, and not vice versa. And naturally, the (fe)male is very beautiful as well. Is it less interesting to see a female who has become a male?

@auntie68 vanilla, that's a good one :-) maybe we should have a lesson that would cover some of the BDSM vocab? I expect it would make for a little less corny lesson :-) suggestion for the lesson title: to hit or be hit by..

if 自虐狂 means masochist, how do you say its opposite 'sadist' in Chinese? And do Chinese have an expression for SM?
