which reminds me of a star trek episode (or book, can't remember) - kirk 
visits an 'abandoned' planet, which seems to have been a planet wide 
amusement park.  one of the 'rides' was to reverse one's sex.

capt. jane t. kirk, anyone?

unfortunately, the machinery had broken down, and they couldn't figure out 
how to reverse it, hence plot.  a very entertaining story, if only i could 
remember the title.

ziviya, remembering a very sex-is-positive female kirk.  so it was prob'ly a 
book, they couln't do that on tv then, could they?
