Mike,

Yes. They don't transform into each other. Particles are described by group representations, matrices that operate on their mathematical embodiments when the coordinate system is changed. Coordinate systems of course are purely arbitrary human creations and so the way things change when one arbitrary choice is replaced with another is basic to mathematical physics. And the supersymmetric group has two places for each particle type, a bosonic place and a fermionic place.

Regards,
Dick
