Michael Phelps Alleged Girlfriend Was Born A Male

[levitt]

Michael looks like the love child of Eli Manning and Dylan Klebold. Butterface doesn't cover that shit.

[stef]

she looks like that crazy actress who played serena's mother on "gossip girl".

[Belt Up]

^ Has, yes I knew she reminded me of someone!

[JazzyGirl]

Pics or it didn't happen!! Where are the pics of them together!!???

[Palermo]

How old is this person, 60 something?

i read the article the other day and she claims to be a hermaphrodite and was raised as a boy until her mid-teens.

The status of her chromosomes and genitals is between her and whatever partners she has, and I don't know why people have to have a huge, gigantic freak-out about it these days. Having said that, why the fuck would she go to the media with this, when she knows exactly that said freak-out will happen? And that Phelps will be seen as being humiliated by being with her (even if that's unjustified)? It's gross and it's a disservice to the trans/intersex community.

i completely agree with this. there is a lot of dialogue about this in the medical and psychiatric communities because it is a big deal and not cookie cutter. how to classify someone's gender at birth, whether or not to do surgery at birth or later, etc. i can't imagine how someone born intersex *wouldn't* have issues.

but putting that aside, this woman put it out there and it makes no sense. it's not like she did it to educate, it was to get attention. boo

If she was born a man, how the hell does she have such a narrow waist?

She wasn't necessarily born a male. She has ambiguous genitalia. Unclear what her chromosomes are as she had a penis. You can't have a penis without some testorone so,it is puzzling. the most common is androgen insensitivity where you are XY but the cells lack the receptor to respond to testosterone and default development is morpholically female with rudimentary testicles where the ovaries are. these patients are usually, slim & tall with narrow waists but no penis. Most of these live their lives as women.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Maybe Taylor wanted to put the information out herself, before someone from her past or who knows her now, went to the press or social media, and put it out there without her consent?

Hopefully Michael Phelps is okay. He seems like a very laid back guy.. hopefully this information hasn't freaked him out too much.

Phelps is ugly to the point of being offensive.

[Mrs P]

I've never thought he was particularly hot, but with the glasses and the facial hair and the unwaxed body, I would. He's looking pretty yummy.

Unwaxed is where it's at! While it can be annoying waking up with one of Mr P's chest hairs in my mouth, I just don't dig waxed chests. Or so I hope it's a chest hair in my mouth.

Men should have some body hair. They're men, not fucking Ken dolls. I hate this complete removal of body hair thing that the young do.

Now get off my lawn.

[Kittylady]

What are you supposed to yank out when they are ignoring you if they don't have chest hair?
