Reincarnation-Does the Sex Change

Reincarnation-Does the Sex Change in Next Life-
27-05-2007
Thousands of cases referred to in books on the subject as well as T V interviews of reincarnated Children on Indian media Channels as well as Discovery Channel etc show that a person is reincarnated in the same sex. Why? In Mahabharata when Bhishma defeated the King of Varanasi and abducted his daughters to marry them with his brothers,one of them pledged to take revenge, died and was reincarnated as Shikhandi i.e. a Eunuch. So her sense of anger and determination before dying was so strong that she/he became the cause of his death but she was not able to reincarnate fully as a male. It is said in Indian Historical texts (are they Indian only as we know the present India to be) such as Vedas, Purans, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Upanishads etc etc and etc .that if you have unfulfilled desires you are sure to be reborn again and again (till no desire remains or enlightenment is attained-not sure about the bracketed portion) So leaving aside the Jataka (Stories) about Reincarnation of Buddha in different life forms (which I doubt),I have not found any documented or interviewed case in which sex change happened in the next birth. However the Anger and desire of Shikhandi in his last birth as a female was so strong that to fulfill it she was born again to fulfill that desire. Does it mean that Eunuchs are born due to their desire in their previous birth to be born in the other sex and thereafter only the process of Sex change in continues births goes on slowly in stages till the desired change in Sex is achieved. Can any reader please enlighten me?
