Sex change 70 year old and the buffalo down the well.
A couple of bizarre stories in the newspapers this week.
First comes news that a 70 year old Liuzhou woman turns out to be a 70 year old Liuzhou man.
According to China Daily:
Genetic testing in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, recently revealed a 70-year-old "woman" surnamed Zhang to be, in fact, a man.
Zhang, who has a normal female vagina and breasts and has been married for 50 years, recently arrived in a local hospital to see doctors after she began to grow testicles two years ago. At first, she had mistakenly believed she had a tumour.
Zhang's chromosome indicated she was in fact a man, doctors said, adding that it was still unknown why Zhang had grown women's features.
Zhang who never gave birth to a child, adopted a son when she was 30.
(For some reason this is the most visited post on this blog. A lot of sick people out there searching on Google for 70 year old vaginas - added August 2008)
Then we have the case of the water buffalo down a well. This seems to happen from time to time. I've seen similar stories before.
The stupid animal was rescued uninjured.
Didn't know water buffalo did that. We have lots of sheep where I come
from, and they quite often fall off cliffs. The lucky ones land on a ledge
and get rescued by the Coastguard, on the basis that a) it's good practice
and b) if they don't they'll only have to rescue the owner when he goes
down to get it later . . .
Ha ha!
What confuses me is that s/he has " female vagina"
