[Avodah] [Areivim] if they asked, it would have been assur

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck]

R' SZN posted (on Areivim) this link,
http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=11008 and assumes, in his caption,
that it would be assur. Would it really be? The only thing stated in this
article is that the subject took female hormones. I highly doubt that this
comes under the letter of the letter of the law of Lo Silbash (although, I
agree that it would be included in the spirit). Also, mah dino? Rambam
(Hilchos Nashim 2) discusses the various simanim, if these are all
surgically or chemically induced does it halachically change one's gender?
And, Lu Y'tzu'yer that Surgeons manage to have a (?former?) man give birth -
do we say Banim harey hein k'simanim? Comments?
