So, just read that Bradley Manning, the US soldier who leaked secret US government documents has announced he wants to live as a woman.
"I am Chelsea Manning," Pte First Class Manning said in a statement, "I am a female."
The 25-year-old said he had felt female since childhood, wanted at once to begin hormone therapy, and wished to be addressed as Chelsea.
Pte Manning faces 35 years in prison for crimes including espionage.
Now if I had been sentenced to 35 years in a maximum security prison, I'm pretty sure "I Want To Be A Woman" would be nearly bottom of the list of statements I would want to make!
