Sex change
called history’s
strangest
(From National Enquirer)
Patrick Moody used to be
the mother of three children ...
but now he’s their father!
The former woman
underwent successful
sex-change surgery and became
a man - after she bore three
children.
Today Patrick, formerly
Patricia, lives with Tonia, the
woman he plans to legally
marry.
In an exclusive interview,
Tonia told the Enquirer, “The
Lord placed us together to give
me something I couldn’t have
had without Patrick -a family.
Their bizzare story began in
1970. Patricia, a woman who
believed that she was meant to
be a man and who dressed in
men’s clothing, met Tonia, a
singer who had two children.
Patricia told Tonia of her
belief that she was really a man
who was trapped inside her
woman’s body. The two began
dating.
Slowly love blossomed
between them, and they began
living together. That’s when
Patricia finally decided to
undergo a sex change so she
could become a man and a true
husband to Tonia and father to
the children.
But before the sex change,
the two decided to have three
more children to complete
their family. Both love
children. Tonia’s two are not
her natural children - she’s
their legal guardian. She took
them in when their own
parents could not care for
them.
Tonia is unable to bear
children. So she and Patricia
decided that Patricia would
have three children by artificial
insemination. Then Patricia
would undergo a sex-change
operation.
Patrick - today a
27-year-old, mustachioed,

5-foot 6-inch, 160-pound man
-- recalled his pregnancies: “1
had one thought in mind - that
1 was pregnant for a good
cause. But I was preparing the
life that I would lie for the rest
of my life. I still wore my suits.
I never got that big.”
And when the children were
born, Patricia acted as their
father -- not their mother.
“They know Tonia as mommy
and me as daddy.”
Then Patricia began the
process of changing sex at
Washington University in St,
Louis. It involved psychiatric
care, hormone injections and
several painful operations.
Patricia was well on her way
to becoming Patrick.
Meanwhile, the parents and
their children moved to a large
mid-western city where
nobody knew them. Deeply
religious, they took in a poor
woman with two children. And
when she decided to join the
Army, they kept her children
as their own.
But the couple had money
problems. Patricis is a licensed
security guard, but his lack of
appropriate identification, plus
his still-changing appearance,
made it impossible for him to
work. Tonia, confined to a
wheelchair due to several
sicknesses, applied for welfare,
but was turned down due to
their strange circumstances.
When Patrick went to the
welfare office to seek aid under
his former name of Patricia
Steele, he was laughed out of
the office.
Welfare investigators
suspected fraud. “They talked
to us for two days,” said
Patrick. “And then I went
down to the office and they
examined me. They had one
one of the female sheriffs
deputies do it. Actually, she
just stood there, and when I
undressed, she told them what
she saw -- or what she didn’t
of racial pride during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico
City. They were consequently sent home for their
actions.
In an ancient custom in Samarkand, whichever warrior
could hit a gold coin with an arrow could be king for
one day.

During the summet air conditioners eat more, a la more, electricity than any
other appliance in your home. Possibly more than all of your ocher appliances
combined.
If you're going to buy, or replace, an air conditioner take into account what it
will cost to operate it. Na just what it costs to buy it.
CHECK EFFICIENCY RATINGS. The higher their efficiency ratings, the
less electricity they eat.
You can tell a lot about an air conditioner’s operating efficiency befae you-buy
it—by checking its energy efficiency rating. An 0.3 rated unit will run ala leaner
than a 5.5 rated unit. You'll pay more for the higher efficiency number now But the
energy saved will more than make up the difference. Month after month. Dollars
after dollars Remember. The higher the numbet the less electricity the beast will eat
