You remember him, don't you? Sherman Potter was the commanding officer of the 4077th from the television series M.A.S.H.. You may not recognize him today with his new appearance, but his confident attitude is still a dead giveaway if you happen to run into him (her?)In a recent interview shortly after his sex reassignment, Potter admitted, "I was always jealous of Margaret Houlihan. She was beautiful and sexy, and that's what I wanted to be. But the decision wasn't an easy one. When you consider having parts of your body removed, especially parts that you've become quite fond of and familiar with over a lifetime, it's a bit sobering. But I weighed the advantages, and I opted for the change. I haven't regretted it one iota."
But it's a long process, and Potter says he still has a lot of electrolysis session scheduled to take care of the facial and body hair that just "isn't feminine" in his opinion.
In addition to the gender reassignment, Potter has given up acting and gone through nurse's training in order to do the work he has always longed to perform. "The only downside, so far," Potter concluded, "is that my horses don't recognize me. It's going to require a little patience as we all get to know each other again, but they're starting to come around and accept the new me."
