Gotta admit she cleans up nice. :-)
And if she *is* intersexed or otherwise transgendered, I'm pleased to have her on our team. :-)

My sister told me this rumor when I was watching True Lies to fuck with my head. She has only adopted and never given birth and will not comment on the rumor. While it is possible that she is intersexed, she is attractive so it does not matter and should not matter.

I would argue to Nic that the Jamie Lee pictured here is by no means a model athlete or beauty queen she supasses those obese americans with "back ends" that defy the laws of physics. Like I said I would argue but Nic seems pretty level headed and made up for it in his last post.

There certainly are other possibilities beyond the frank intersexuality suggested by the Snopes page.

Another is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, a abnormality in the hormone receptors. These receptor normally cause the default feminine sex to masculinize. The result of AIS is a an otherwise fairly feminine body with an XY genotype....with some possible skeletal characteristics that tend to the masculine.

Certainly there are some skeletal markers that folks like me watch for pretty closely (since it takes one to know one); they're stuff those of us who have done a countergender transition simply can't do anything about, absent the future nanotechnology that John Varley wrote about in his <i>Steel Beach</i>.

I do agree with the author of the Snopes page when she says: "As only someone who has seen <b>True Lies</b> can say, if that's not all woman, then maybe we need to rethink what is."

Exactly.
