Gender-Bending on the Web

=v= After seeing "Vive le [sic] Difference" one time too many, I decided to see just how many sexual reassignment operations this noun has gone through. According to el Goog, there are about 1,200,000 instances of "la difference" on the web, and about 45,100 instance of "le difference."

This seems like a lot, and it is. After all, according to the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition, only 2-3% of the population is transgendered, and many of those are pre-op. So this noun is getting a sex change at about twice the prevailing rate. I think it has something to do with endocrine disruptors.
