Gender Journey Finds Unhappy Ending
Man transforms self into woman, blames church for making him a man again.

High on prescription drugs and four days without sleep, Michael Berke raced his Harley to the megachurch where he'd found a home.

He barged into the church office, wearing a mesh shirt printed with profanity. In his hands he held a picture of a curvy woman with long, red hair and pouty lips.

"This is who I used to be," he said.

"And this" - he gestured to his flat chest, bald head and red goatee - "is who I've become."

He was born a man. After a lifetime as a social misfit, he had transformed himself into Michelle, a saucy redhead. Then, three months ago, he had become Michael again - with the financial aid and spiritual encouragement of Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale.

Now, he wanted to be Michelle again, and he blamed Calvary for making him the man he had become.
