I don't understand the judgement of some of you. Perhaps, he isn't part of the "omg tranny" brigade and likes her? And, even if she still had a penis, who cares? Omg! Michael Phelps might be gay! Who really gives a shit?

Yeah, was thinking she'd be hot and this would be a shock to anyone... but no... I could have guessed that without this being 'news'.

Most important question to ask him at this point is; 'On a scale of 1-10, just how mad are you ?' :awe:

One moment. Let me go throw up.

Good for him. Whatever makes him happy, I guess....

It would have been better had they not covered the story. It is getting tiring of western propaganda of transsexual acceptance. One example is Conchita Wurst's qualification into EuroVision song contest. It is a provocation against cultures that don't freely accept gender modification.

Maybe those cultures need to stop being assholes and leave people alone. :colbert:

...and it took 19 posts.

not sure if that's an improvement or downgrade, but...

Look, the PC police have arrived. Let me know if you want me to get the tranny's number for you. For the other 95% of men who have a fully functioning dick, that tranny is gross looking.

And? To 5% of men who have a fully functioning dick, she is hot enough to bang. And apparently, one of those 5% is Michael Phelps.

If the PC police were here, they'd be telling you tranny is generally considered an offensive term for transgenders.

This women isn't attractive to you? Who gives a shit? She is obviously attractive enough to Michael Phelps, and since it is he who is dating her, that is all that matters. The fact that she was born intersex is also a nonissue. She isn't a transgender in the normal sense, as she had both parts. She choose the one she identified with, if the article is correct. Even if she was a man, who cares? If Michael Phelps (or anyone) wants to suck some cock, I wish them the best.

Yes, and Michael Phelps' disgusting taste in women should be open season for jokes. Just as if you said you wanted to bang a 5-2 300lb fattie, you'd receive the same ribbing from us. Shaming makes the genetic diversity of the gene pool stronger. There are scientifically proven universal standards of attraction and this woman, just like 300lber, does not qualify.

No. She wasn't "born a man" as the article attempts to imply. I'd say you should research 'intersex' a bit to find out more. I probably wouldn't do that at work though.

I'd say it's hard to say since she was born without the hormone-producing organs. Was it actually a penis or just a lot of extra skin? Does she have a prostate? I guess going with the latter could help determine that one.

Yeah, It looks like she identified as a male earlier in her life and switched to identifying as woman when she got older(Maybe teenage). It doesn't really say if she ever got surgery to firmly decide on one gender. She really isn't transgender in the normal sense when you get born with both genitals.

They were born with a penis and not a vagina. That would qualify as a man in my book. Who cares if they also had a uterus? The hormones that decide male or female are decisive when either forming a penis or vagina.

She was born with no testicles. Ok this is to early in the morning on the west coast to figure this one out. All the more power to both of them if they hooked up.

what PC police?

The simple point is: who gives a fuck?

fact is, Phelps screwing that intersex lady is closer to any form of vagina than 80% of you AT dweebs will ever get.

The "girl" is fugly, but why the hell is this news? Who gives a shit? Most of you basement dwelling nerds would have smashed "her" too.

How about this: post a picture of your GF / wife and see what ribbing you get.

I am not against poking fun at people, but I am against doing it in a way that alienates people already struggling to fit in (and I'm not talking about people of below average intelligence that are good at swimming >_> ) and already face constant ridicule.

The article is incorrect and is attempting to shame someone for being intersex. That is beyond fucking stupid. Had the title been "Michael Phelps dates ugly person!" I'd be perfectly fine with it.
