+### Overriding attribute methods
+
+It's possible to override an attribute method to change its output:
+
+```ruby
+class Person < Shale::Mapper
+  attribute :gender, Shale::Type::String
+
+  def gender
+    if super == 'm'
+      'male'
+    else
+      'female'
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+puts Person.from_json('{"gender":"m"}')
+
+# =>
+#
+# #<Person:0x00007f9bc3086d60
+#  @gender="male">
+```
+
+Be conscious that the original attribute value will be lost after its transformation though:
+
+```ruby
+puts User.from_json('{"gender":"m"}').to_json
+# => {"gender":"male"}
+```
+
+It'll no longer return gender `m`.
+
 ### Using custom models
 
 By default Shale combines mapper and model into one class. If you want to use your own classes
