32.36

魏襄王三年。有女子。自首化為丈夫。與妻生子。故京房易傳曰。女人化為丈夫。茲謂陰昌。賤人為王。丈夫化為女子。茲謂陰勝陽。厥咎亡。

In the third year of King Xiang of Wei, there was a woman whose head transformed first into that of a man; she took a wife and gave birth to a child. Therefore, Jing Fang's Commentary on the Changes says: 'A woman transforming into a man is called yin prospering; a base person will become king. A man transforming into a woman is called yin overcoming yang; the retribution is ruin.'
