黛尔德尔*麦克娄斯基(Deirdre McCloskey)是我所知道的最著名的变性人物了。早年读经济学方面的书,就注意到她的《经济学的辩辞》(The Rhetoric of Economics)。一看就知道是反主流经济学的一部颠覆书。当时的她还是他,唐纳德。
黛尔德尔*麦克娄斯基1942年生,出生名为唐纳德*麦克娄斯基。她是伊利诺大学芝加哥校区的经济,历史,英语和传播学的杰出教授。也是该校区的哲学与古典附属教授。她还是路特丹埃拉斯莫大学的经济,哲学,历史,英语,艺术和文化学的丁伯根杰出教授。
麦克娄斯基是在哈佛念的本科和研究生,专攻经济学。1973年,他的博士论文获得了“大卫*威尔斯”最佳博士论文奖。
1968年,还是研究生的麦克娄斯基给经济学大家佛里德曼和福格尔看中,加入芝加哥大学经济学系。他在芝大呆了十二年并获得终身教职,教授价格理论和经济史。1979年,他的兴趣转向修辞学,女权主义,经济和其他社会科学的历史与哲学。在伊阿华大学,担任经济与历史学约翰*莫雷教授时,他出版了《经济学的辩辞》并和同事们创立了“人文科学的辞令”,“探究辞令”等新领域和项目。麦克娄斯基著有二十多本书,三百多篇论文,挑战主流解释的“假定”。
她的主要贡献在于英国经济史,历史研究的定量化,经济学和人文科学的辞令,经济学方法论,伦理,女权经济学,非正统经济学,经济研究中数学和统计学的滥用等等。
麦克娄斯基的父亲是哈佛的政府学教授,母亲是一位诗人。1995年,53岁的他变性为她。1999年出版了自传《跨越》(Crossing: A Memoir)。他结过婚,生有两孩子。
我对她的学术兴趣远远高于她的变性缘由。她最新的一本书是本巨砖:《资产阶级的德行:商业时代的伦理》(The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce )。这本巨砖仅是她的四部曲中的第一部。我在书店里刚看见这部书的时候真有点惊叹和佩服。她不是变性玩玩的人,她是个严肃的学者。这本书,显然和我的兴趣有关:在西方,“致富就是光荣”是怎样为社会普遍接收,鼓励,成为社会经济繁荣的主观条件的?

Sex change leads to happiness

A transsexual woman spoke in the Corbett Center Student Union on Thursday night about her transformation to and life as a woman in the society of today.
Deidre McCloskey, 63, formerly Donald, addressed the trials and tribulations of wanting to be a woman but living life as a man. McCloskey's talk was part of Women's History Month and co-sponsored by the New Mexico State University Teaching Academy.
McCloskey said she remembers falling asleep every night as early as age 11, hoping to wake up a girl. However, the society of 1953 was not open to the idea at all, she said.
"If you told someone you were queer, they would put you in the madhouse," McCloskey said.
McCloskey said she tried to embrace the male identity for most of her life. She was the captain of her high school football team, was married for 30 years and has two children.
She said she used to privately cross-dress occasionally for fun. In 1995, she discovered cross-dressing clubs and conventions via the Internet and began publicly dressing in drag.
McCloskey said her wife began to worry at that point but remained supportive.
McCloskey said she came to a sudden realization after a long process of thought in July 1995.
"It suddenly struck me that I didn't want to be a cross-dresser," McCloskey said. "I wanted to be a woman."
McCloskey said her mother was comfortable with her decision almost instantaneously. Conversely, her sister, a professor of psychology in Arizona, thought her older brother was insane.
"She had me committed twice," McCloskey said. She said afterward she moved to California to escape her sister.
McCloskey began having cosmetic operations in November 1995.
"These are my cheekbones; I paid for them," she said.
McCloskey said she then spent a year in Holland as a full-time woman and visiting professor. Upon returning home, she received an e-mail from her son.
She said her son was announcing his marriage and telling her that she was not invited to the wedding.
"The bad news in my story is that the three people I love most in the world, my former wife, my son and my daughter, haven't spoken to me for nine years," McCloskey said.
She said her story has a happy ending, regardless of the hardships she faced along the way. She never misses being a man, she said, and does not regret her decision in the least.
"I haven't lost my sense of direction, I just ask for directions," she said.
McCloskey said she probably would not have made the change in a more oppressive society. Also, she said her career would not have gone as far as it has if she were born a woman.
McCloskey said she does not believe she has been two different people. Rather, she described the change as comparing herself now to herself when she was a child.

读这篇文章非常难过,想起Victoria跟Natalie. 他们大概也想变性。
男人多自由,有身体需要了,就可以cross来cross去的,花钱去买sex跟买一杯咖啡一样容易,完了之后还能跟人吹牛呢。 除此之外,可以那么容易就把sex 跟love分得清清楚楚,为什么要做女人?
那么多小男生20多岁就知道到哪里寻欢作乐了,哪像女人那么苦。
