Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  5
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  Special

Under the influence of this spell, the subject experiences transsexuality, the unshakable conviction that he (or she) is, despite all biological evidence, of the opposite gender than the true one. The subject cannot disbelieve or be persuaded otherwise, and will immediately adapt hair, clothing, manners, speech, behaviours, etc., accordingly. Notice that males will behave in a feminine rather than an effeminate manner, and similarly for females; the subject has no desire to parody. If the subject's species has more than two genders, the resulting gender orientation is DM's choice. If the species has only one gender, the subject is unaffected. The material component of this spell is a piece of wood with a yin-and-yang symbol carved upon it.
Like embarrassing fetish and reverse sexual orientation, this spell has no saving throw per se. Upon first consciously realizing that one's self-identification as male or female has changed, if the subject strenuously objects, the subject is allowed a Charisma check at -4. A successful Charisma check leaves the subject confused but no longer transsexual. A new Charisma check may be made each day, but at a cumulative penalty of -1 per day. A roll of 1 always succeeds.
Notice that gender orientation and sexual orientation are different concepts, and that this spell alone will not change orientation. However, the subject will claim a different orientation based on the differently perceived gender. Thus a straight female will consider herself a male who is attracted to men, and therefore a gay man; likewise a lesbian will consider herself a man attracted to women, hence a straight man.
