Michael Phelps and his intersex girlfriend

[Bulldog1948]

I imagine that this is going to be a very interesting and rather interesting story. Who knows, maybe it will be a decent indo tool to the general public. Guess it will depend on how its played out. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2014/11/20/michael-phelps-alleged-girlfriend-says-she-was-born-intersex/

I can't say i am particularly sympathetic to the girlfriend who tells the world before she tells her "boyfriend" that she is intersexed.

To say i wasn't with him long enough to explain may be an indication of the depth and duration of the relationship. I'm sorry but while this may help to explain the condition i find the story more sensational than fact related.

I agree, the story is far more sensatioalism than the facts of being intersexed. I bet that Michael was knocked backwards a little bit by her revealization.I know that I would have been if I were in his shoes.

What's that old saying about judging a book by its cover/ looks like you really can't judge a book until you real all the fine print in the foot nots, right

I saw this over on Face Book, and I am more than a little turned off by the vehement denial of the girl that she has anything to do with the TG spectrum. To quote the Bard Of Avon, "me thinks she doth protesteth too much!!" It's fine she feels that way about herself (??? PNR?) but making such a big deal of it sounds hokie. Sniff!! Stuck up twit!

I can't help but question if she really was dating him. She has "forensic" proof? Locked her phone up in a safe deposit box? That's a little ridiculous!

I hope she legitimately is intersex, because if she's just making a hoax it'll only cause further confusion for everyone. And I agree that she should be able to be open about being intersex without maligning the trans community, but I can understand some peoples' desire to distance htemselves. It's not right, but it's understandable.
