Olympian Michael Phelps's girlfriend was born male

[Perknose]

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.

Wait, TWO times in as many weeks? The horror, we've been overrun by basic human acceptance!

There's a lot of intolerance in here for a congenital condition. I'm glad there are people here that are standing up to it. Sometimes this place gets unbearably negative and hateful.

With that said, she likely has a condition called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia that resulted in high androgen exposure in the womb leading to external male genitalia.

There is an extreme diversity of intersex conditions that can lead to ambiguous genitalia. In one case, a little girl grew a penis at puberty in a condition called 5-alpha reductase deficiency.

Facebook says this is important breaking news.

Might have been something to bring up before you porked though.

Facebook is wrong. This is about as important as my cat crapping in his litter box this morning.

If they made each other happy then who cares? Good for them I say. :thumbsup:

actually she (technically He) has Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

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

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"

This. She was a tinder hookup, not a "girlfriend." She was born intersex, but had surgery and hormone therapy to make her a woman. If she and Michael Phelps had a fun halftime then good for them. Most ATOTers would have done the same.

And, while ATOT could be more sensitive and less judgmental, the transgender/intersex cause needs a better champion than this chick.

Well said.

That's incorrect. Her condition is quite the opposite of AIS. AIS is a male(testes) with external female genitalia. Androgen exposure is required for the development of male external genitals. AIS means there is no androgen exposure present, hence the term insensitivity.
See the slides I posted. It's all in there.

Interesting story about AIS - there's a player on the tennis team who's chromosomally male but externally female due to AIS. She was banned from playing on the women's team for that reason.

She still looks too much like a man for me.

Misleading thread title. The person wasn't "born male." The person was born with traits of both genders.

 

[dainthomas]

his last gf was better

That's more like it. Epic downgrade.

I'm not the best judge, but he isn't much to look at himself. He's probably on par with his latest.

No argument there. Even more reason to hang on to the last one.

Did you guys see the pics of the little girl who grew a penis at twelve? Imagine being a little girl and a penis just starts growing. Just think about that for a moment.
