Please don't call Ann Coulter a man!
Ann Coulter is NOT a man!

I was told that she was born with "ambiguous genitalia", a birth defect, and was sugically assigned to female at age nine months.

It is therefore totally unfair to call her a man, and in fact is insensitive to other people (a tiny number, admittedly) who have a similar condition.

It is sufficient to call her a Nazi.

31. benburch's objection is duly noted, and I will take your suggestion
under advisement.

Hell--I'll just use that term; it's much more descriptive.

5. If you have sex with someone who
has ambiguous genitalia, does that make you bisexual by default?

10. No!
After gender assignment, they are female. To be fair human beings, we simply have to accept them as the gender they were left with.

15. But what if she is unsure?
There are cases of people whose gender was chosen for them and they realized that they did not fit with what was chosen.

27. Sad when that happens...
But she says she's a "girl" (and thinks she is a "pretty girl") so there is little to indicate she might be uncomfortable with her body.

Personally, I think she's a skank and likely to give anybody who went in uncovered a dose.

8. Would another word be...
"hermaphrodite"?

The mind boggles.

If true, it also answers some of her behavioral questions.

17. So a woman gives birth.
The doctor seems uncomfortable.
She asks if there is a problem.
Doctor replies that the baby is a hermaphrodite.
Woman appears confused.
Doctor explains the baby has the characteristics of both male and female.
The light dawns and woman cries out "you mean my baby has a penis and a brain?"

13. No wonder she's so angry. I've read that early sex assignment...
...results in unresolvable inner conflict and a lifelong identity crisis.

So cut her a very tiny amount of slack for that.

She's still a Nazi.

23. I've often questioned calling her a man--
as being unfair to men--just because women don't want her in their camp doesn't mean we should stigmatize guys! I'm sure she has her feminine side. It might just be one of those Moebius strip-type deals we don't get all at once.

in my town. Hannity was here about a month ago. The red neckers aren't smart enough to figure out these two are only political whores more than willing to take their money. In exchange, these two talk hate against liberals" for a few minutes and the Bushies go wild.

Nice racket if you don't have a soul.

28. I think it's really sexist
So if someone is an asshole they must be a man. Pretty damn sexist.

If you wanna insult a woman, deny her femininity. Pretty damn sexist.

Why not just call her what she really is - a psychotic hatemonger?

Khash.

34. Um, you're insulting intersexed people.
It is unlikely that Coulter is intersexed. Parents were barely informed of the procedure and had no input until 1974.

Don't insult transgendered and intersexed people because Coulter is tall, lanky, and has sharp features.

The tiny number of intersexed people are actually .3-.9% of the population. That is a lot of people, globally speaking.

35. No insult intended!
Perhaps she is not intersexed, as I was told, but it does seem a reasonable explanation to me both her features and reputed sex drive. I choose to believe it as an operational truth.

36. Ambiguous genitalia?
"I was told" is an old Fox news trick. We are above that. Unless there is hard evidence to the contrary, we would all agree that Ms. Coulter is quite obviously a woman and even moderately attractive at first glance. What detracts from her femininity and her appearance is her ugly inner quality. She is just loaded with hate and loathing for all things unagreeable to her beliefs and lifestyle. Yes she deserves pity and even contempt, but I don't think questioning her sexuality is helpful.

37. Well, I *was* told.
By a reporter a know. Now, where he heard it? But everybody keeps calling her a man or a TS or TV, and if this story I heard is true, then this is most unfair to her, and I'm trying to get people to stop doing that.

38. If you want to stop people saying she is transgendered
then just tell them that if she is trans, then they should be able to easily produce pictures of her as a young man, school documents of her as a young man, and male ID driver's licenses and passports.

Considering that sex reassignment surgery would have all but alienated her from her unabashedly conservative family, I doubt this is the case.

Being transgendered is not a moral deficit. It is not more unfair to call someone intersexed than it is trans or vice versa. Trans people go through a load of shit in this world, please don't add to it.

You're not insulting or defending Coulter when you say these things, you're insulting trans people and there are lots of transfolk and their partners on this board.

40. We seem to be piling on you here, and it isn't planned or intentional
Thanks for your input. After reading your entire post you obviously aren't trying to insult her on the basis of her sexuality. Personally I can't stand the woman and I would wish every news show would cancel her for her one-sidedness and venemous opinions. But I could care less about her sex, sexuality or dating preferences.
