I love my latin women

Spanish is a cool language, but it would really be quite difficult to be a Spanish speaker and also under go a sex change. If you speak English there would be no changes in your grammer what so every. Well, actually you might talk in a feminine voice or something like that but that doesn't matter so much. But my point is that there are no grammatical changes that you need to be constantly aware of.
If you speak Spanish, you have to be aware of all the adjectives and their feminine or masculine components. So instead of saying "I'm cold," which is "estoy frio" as a man, you would say "estoy fria" as a woman. This seems like a subtlety that would be so easy to miss and mess up. It's one thing to change your name from Chris to Crystal or Mark to Martha, but changing all your personal adjectives would be a pain in the ass. I'd really like to talk to a Spanish speaking pre or post op and get their opinion on their feminine/masculine grammar change enigma.
Maybe next time you talk to a woman in Spanish and she says "no estoy casado" (I'm not married) beware, cause it could very well be a post-op guy hitting on you.
