[edit] Plot summary

Mr. Garrison believes that he is a woman on the inside, and decides to undergo a sex change operation, which is performed by Dr. Biber of the Trinidad Medical Center. Meanwhile, Kyle is trying out for the all-state basketball team. Kyle's performance against his tall and black competitors is unimpressive, and the coach and Cartman join to instruct him that "Jews can't play basketball." This depresses Kyle, and when he, Stan, Cartman and Kenny are walking home, the now-Ms. Garrison tells the boys of her surgery.

Kyle asks his parents what a sex change is, and as she explains the term, his mother, Sheila Broflovski, insists on the legitimacy of cosmetic surgery as an important aid for people whose physical appearance contrasts with their self-image. However, in applauding Mr. Garrison's courage, she inadvertently implies that Kyle's own problems can be solved in a similar manner. Stan accompanies Kyle to Trinidad to see about the situation, and Dr. Biber suggests that Kyle should undergo a "negroplasty" to make him black and taller. When Kyle returns home, his parents are outraged by the suggestion. His dad, Gerald Broflovski, travels to the Institute in order to confront Dr. Biber. However, Dr. Biber, spotting Gerald's dolphin shirt, appeals to his affinity for dolphins and convinces him to undergo "dolphinoplasty", surgically altering his appearance to resemble that of a dolphin.

As he has now been persuaded to endorse cosmetic surgery, Gerald Broflovski allows his son to undergo the negroplasty. Meanwhile, Ms. Garrison is puzzled by the absence of her period, turns to believe she is pregnant, and cheerfully decides to have an abortion. However, despite having changed her sex, she does not have ovaries and a uterus, and thus can neither menstruate, become pregnant, nor have an abortion. She requests Dr. Biber to change her sex back, but learns that the operation is irreversible, as her former testicles have been transplanted in Kyle's knees to make him taller, and her scrotum is now Mr. Broflovski's dorsal fin.

At the all-state basketball game, Garrison, Dr. Biber, and the other three boys are trying to stop Kyle from playing basketball, as any jumping could cause Mrs. Garrison's testicles to explode. Unfortunately, in a dramatic climax, Kyle leaps into the air, causing his new "kneecaps" to explode as he lands. Faced with the loss of her testicles, Mrs. Garrison decides to accept her new gender. Dr. Biber agrees to reverse the surgery he performed on Kyle and his father, and they are shown returned to normal in later episodes.
