    Then I guess it's time for me to come out. I am a trans-hander.

    I'm not trying to be ridiculous or trivialize anything or create some elaborate metaphor here. It's the honest-to-God's truth, and it's something I've wrestled with for a while.

    I was born right-handed in everything I do, but I've always thought I should have been a lefty.

    Seriously. I've always looked at left-handers with a twinge of envy. I hold my writing instruments with my left hand and only shift to the right when it's time to write something down. I pick up a baseball bat with my right hand by the knob and my left hand closer to the barrel.

    Sometimes I secretly scribble with my left hand, and when I go to the batting cage, I sneak in a few swings from the left-handed side of the plate. I'll even Bo Kimble some free throws before switching back to my right hand.

    So am I pretending to be a lefty, as Just The Facts here suggests Jenner is? Am I delusional? Is my desire to live the rest of my life as a lefty an affront to my Creator, or an acknowledgement that I was wired wrong when it comes to my handedness?

    Man, I bet the surgery to change that is a bitch ... I mean, we're not talking about something as silly as amputating your genitalia and fashioning you some new naughty bits out of what's left over. We're talking about opening up your skull and rewiring millions/billions of neural connections.

    Every time I see this thread, I mistakenly read it as "Jeter transitioning into a woman".

    What would be in the gift bag that female Derek Jeter gave to her lovers?
