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.

They go in knowing that she had male parts at one point in her life.

A controlled study of similar people looking at her photos, without that knowledge, would be quite telling. :D

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.

Unless she has a Y chromosome, not really. This person has neither ovaries nor testicles, so they aren't being produced. She is getting some for her adrenal glands, but she lacks the major ones.

If we go by the trend in porn viewing, knowledge that she still has a penis would increase attraction. Transgender porn is extremely popular among straight identifying males, one of the most popular categories.

chromosomes are more important. a penis is, in development terms, an extended clitoris. Biologically speaking, genitalia don't mean all that much when it comes to sex determination.

basically: your book is wrong.

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.

In another article, it was mentioned she made a full transition to female, including reassignment surgery as well as testosterone blocking medication.

A guy that could get almost any woman chooses this? I don't take issue with the fact that she was born a man, but the fact that her face looks really weird.

The amusing and sad part of this is that Phelps could be totally oblivious to any of this. If he is in re-hab his access to the daily news could be fairly restricted. He could get out and be like WTF?

Eh, she's not that bad. Without makeup she's not great, but some of her pictures with makeup are decent. Tall, nice body, big rack. Maybe she's really "talented"? I'd give her a go.

The abs look really nice too, I'm a sucker for toned stomach.

Although to be honest, in this case they're a little bit too toned, but IMO that's still better than flab.

I want to see its vagina. Is it just a surgical gash? Or a natural gash with a little nub up top? Or is it a surgical gash with a huge leftover penis nub?

Also, I'd hit it.

Setting this 41yo person's physical situation aside...

“One thing led to the next, and we made love during halftime,” she said.

“Later, we had sex again. The intimacy with him was amazing! It was the first time in my life that someone has made me feel like a true woman.”

Nutjob
This person had a one night stand on the first date (tinder hookup) and used the wording above to describe it in a media engagement they set up.

Above quote contains key indicators of a nutjob.
Nobody asked. Nobody cares. This appears to be nutjob famewhore.
Probably trying to cash in on the lgbt media frenzy going on nowadays.
Key evidence - Publicists\Website declaring to be a "public figure"

Nevermind, I saw the pics. She definitely looks like a tranny.

Yeah, she looks off, like a shemale or transsexual. I would assume Phelps could have his pick of women, so he probably likes the gender bender looks. This info makes me wonder if his DUI had anything to do with finding out she was a he once. She's not doing him any favors by posting this on Facebook. lol

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.

.


Maybe I missed it, but when did the thread come out announcing that ATOT was now the Transgender/transsexual/transwhatever support forum?

Two times in as many weeks that people are getting apoplectic about how mean and unkind ATOTers to tran-xxxxx.

Anyone who thinks ATOT is mean, on purpose, to trannys, probably has one locked in their basement.
