That thing you heard about Jamie Lee Curtis is nothing more than an urban legend. In truth, Jamie Lee Curtis was born, raised and is, indeed, female. Just ask Christopher Guest.

Let's assume that the assertion that Curtis is geneticly male is false. In that case, assertions that she is XY in places like EZ Entertainment, and various university bio references like here, here, and here would be libelous and defamitory. The only defense against a charge of libel and defamation in such a case would be that the assertion was the truth

Jamie has lots of money. Having her perceived as a male would lessen her box-office appeal, and thus her cash-flow. It would also have an impact on the value of her movies. Do you have the slightest doubt that her lawyers would be all over anybody making the assertion if it was untrue? Do you have the slightest doubt that movie studio lawyers would be all over anybody making the assertion?

I'm having problems finding it too.
Do you think SOMEBODY doesn't want the mainstream to find out???

[Notwithstanding]

I cannot find it there either - the Governess may be dumb but she is not stupid!

You can email Kimberly Brosky, the "Issues Specialist" at the Office of Governor Granholm, at broskyk@michigan.gov and she will send a copy of the text to you.

Let's assume that the assertion that Curtis is geneticly male is false.

Let us also assume you are going to make the argument Ms. Curtis is not.

Do you have the slightest doubt that her lawyers would be all over anybody making the assertion if it was untrue?

We aren't talking about Tom Cruise, here. One only has to look at Ms. Curtis to see what gender she is. And she has been married to a man for at least two decades. She does not have to worry over such silliness, nor should she.

People capable of cognitive thought know better.

Well said.

Ohio and Michigan once fought a "war" over that border (actually, more like a skirmish). The result: Ohio got the busy port of Toledo and Michigan got Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Month.

I can live with that outcome.

I looked into her case and found that this is an internet rumor, no indication of this being true is in evidence. It was speculated that she had this condition because of her name. That is the whole of the evidence, the sum total.

What a drag, to have rumors like that follow you around. Interesting that she would be a case that would be most like a "woman and a mans body" yet seems to have no difficulty with gender identity. It makes it even more tenuous the claims of the transgender set.

[USMMA_83]

I actually have no problem with this. It just goes to show how relevant is "Black history month." Hey, not only do we honor black history, we honor gays, transexuals, freaks of all kind. Yup, kinda puts it all in prespective, dontyathink.

Oh dear...

Every straight person needs to stay out of Michigan during the month of June..Hmmm Why just June?

[Bringbackthedraft]

This doesn't come as a suprize. Left Stanford U last month and they were celebrating "May is Masturbation Month". What next? July is Beastality Month? America! What a country!

[YankeeReb]

Why do we need to have a Pride Month based on who some people choose to have sex with? Why do homosexuals constantly have to RAM their preference down the general public's throat? I just wish that "the love that dare not speak its name" would shut the h*ll up for a change!!

[YankeeReb]

What about the ten 45-year old sugar daddies that smooze 16-year old girls into sex?

I don't hear you commenting on that, or ascribing this activity (pedophilia) to all heterosexuals.

Are you endorsing pedophilia by your silence?

Well the obvious answer is that there's no such thing as NAMGLA (Noth Am. Man Girl Love Assoc.) , and there's no "Straight Pride" events in which this group would be included. The 45-Y/O sugar daddy who's caught with the 16 year old girl is quite properly arrested and we don't see anyone advocating support for him. It's kind of the same logic why we don't have straight males leading girl scout troops.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I thought these people were hermaphrodites.

You thought wrong as usual, those with intersex disorder are no more likley to practice perversion than the general population. 2-3%

Aren't transgenders the ones trapped in the body of the wrong sex?

No wonder you're convictions are so imature, you don't know what you're talking about.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Perhaps because individual people that engage in consensual adult sex have nothing in common with criminals who violate other people's rights by killing or molesting.

Wrong again, those who practice perversion are many times more likely to offend children than heterosexuals.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I'm sure some bisexuals believe in monogamy, and others don't.

Bwahahahaaa...

"How about the 45 year old sugar daddy smoozing the 16 year old boy into sex?? Are you with NAMBLA??"

What about the ten 45-year old sugar daddies that smooze 16-year old girls into sex?

What about one is a pathology and the other is legal in 40 some odd states.

BTW pedophilia cuts off at age 12-13 to 15 depending if you're the APA or AMA.

One famous example of a transgendered person (but not too many non-bio majors realize as being one) is Jamie Lee Curtis, who has XY chromosomes, but has lived all her life as a female.

Urban Myth, she's never publicly stated and her doctors ethically can't say either.

"Please contact Adam Cardinal Maida to encourage him to address Gov. Jennifer Granholm's status as a Catholic in light of her repeated public denial of the teachings of the Catholic Church."

"...our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry; that therefore the proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust and emolument, unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages to which, in common with his fellow citizens, he has a natural right." --- Thomas Jefferson
