Ann Coulter: I'm almost afraid to ask

[LuckyTheDog]

I am almost afraid to ask this because I don't want to be part of spreading untrue rumors -- even about despicable people like Ann Coulter. But curiosity is getting the better of me.

Is there any evidence to back up the story that she used to be a man (possibly named Arthur Coltrane)? and had a sex change? Does anyone know the origin of the story?

15. For the last effing time.

Ann Coulter is not a transexual.

Here are pictures of her in childhood and teen years.

And I might add calling a transgendered person an "It" is positively repulsive of you.

[Raine]

21. Interesting that she has

the adam's apple cover up wearing a shirt like bazooka Joe.

[maddiejoan]

22. it's not interesting at all.

Look at the other pictures...and then look into your own soul while you're at it.

[Raine]

26. What the hell is that supposed to mean!?!

[maddiejoan]

28. It means your glib joke about her supposed "adam's apple"

is just more ha ha glib bullshit meant to reinforce the lie that she is a transexual --because it's okay to use transgended as an insult.

[Raine]

29. It means she is an UGLY woman

even then PERIOD who covers up her ugly features with a high neck shirt like the guy in the funny papers, just as most women hide something they don't like. I never said she was a man or even looks like one infact on the other thread I said she looked like a crack ho. I believe women have adams apples too. You're looking for shit where none exist!

[maddiejoan]

30. yeah right

cos all crack whores have "adam's apples".

[Raine]

31. I give up

now you want to argue about looks of crack ho's. :eyes: WHATEVER... :shrug:

[mitchtv]

2. the only reason I know is

That she has an adam's apple. I never heard the Arthur Coltrane story

[maddiejoan]

17. She doesn't have an "adam's apple"

she's ridiculosuly thin and you can see her larynx --many thin women suffer from this --check out Deborah Norville's larynx sometime.

[Craig3410]

3. In all honesty...

I really doubt it.

I've seen women with large Adam's apples; it just happens sometimes, especially when said woman is nigh-anorexic.

Although I have heard that cocaine can do that to you...

EDIT: Good lord; I'm defending the Coultergeist! Yuck! :puke:

(Not really, though; I'm basically changing the story from "she was a man" to "she's an anorexic crackhead.) :)

[jobycom]

8. You're not defending Coulter, you're defending common sense and truth

Which is pretty much a direct attack on Ann Coulter. :)

4. according to encyclopaedia dramatica...

A conservative transsexual with a syndicated column. Her right-wing diatribes are so full of bullshit that nobody but conservatives pay any attention to her. They apparently find her amusing, although Ann Coulter is not funny and all these people have shitty senses of humor.

What is most dramatic is that Ann Coulter used to be a man. S/he had male to female surgery at a young age. The typical hormone therapy was incomplete in her case. She has no breasts and features typical of women who take testosterone steroids. Watch "her" adam's apple bob up and down on her throat when she talks on Fox News.

On June 6th, 2006, Ann Coulter gave birth to Lisa Kudrow (born Girl-Jesus Coulter) in a Japanese anime-shaped hospital. The audio footage is still today often used in the army for classified training purposes. Lisa went on to multiply at a rate similiar to certain breeds of rabbit.

oh, yes... there's more... http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Ann_Coulter

[maddiejoan]

18. Here's a pic of Ann at like age six.

She's the one in the front

[LuckyTheDog]

20. OK, clearly a girl

Thanks

5. This thread is going to be locked, I can feel it.

It could be she has a thyroid condition, I don't know. I don't believe she is a man.

[murielm99]

12. I've wondered about that, too.

The Adam's apple could be an enlarged thyroid. Rather than anorexia, she could have Grave's disease. That, too, would make her skinny. She is hyper, also suggesting thyroid.

Before anyone gets upset, I have Grave's disease. I know a bit about the symptoms.

6. I just googled Arthur Coltrane

I saw maybe hundreds of references to Ann Coulter being Arthur Coltrane, but every one of them was worded exactly the same. So it's all coming from one source. Can't tell which the original source was, since each reference claims they are quoting some other reference, but none of the sources offer any documentation or supporting evidence, no verifiable names to track down.

Which makes me doubt it's true.

I don't see why it would matter. My complaints about Ann Coulter have nothing to do with her gender (and I'm horrified by the sexism/homophobia/transgender bias here on DU). It's not even something I'd think of worrying about.

[Lost-in-FL]

7. Saw the Henry Collins letter to Ann Colter?

That was fun. http://worshiptheglitch.com/2006/06/henry-rollins-love-letter-to-ann.html

[ret5hd]

10. the ONLY homophobia/transgender bias i've seen on DU...

(with the exception of that coming from obvious trolls) is that directed at RW *phobes that then turn out to be gay. And the bias isn't directed at their being gay...it's directed at their hypocrisy.

[jobycom]

14. Sorry. that doesn't work.

Hurling insults like "mAnn Coulter" and other such things at her as a form of insult is no different than Ozzie Guillen hurling the word "fag" at someone as an insult. If some DUers didn't see it as an insult, they'd have no reason to use it thus. Look back upthread. One person calls her "it."

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Maybe they couldn't spell sh(it)!

Prolly just a freeper Moran!

[MrSlayer]

9. No.

C'mon. People don't really believe that do they? It's a long standing, mean spirited joke. Like Ann herself.

[skipos]

11. Even if it is true, it has nothing to do with being an idiot. nt

[w4rma]

13. No. She just looks manly. (nt)

[Mz Pip]

16. I don't believe it

Someone posted a picture of her from her high school yearbook, so if she had a sex change it must have been done when she was like 15 or something. :crazy:

I have a good transexual friend. I'm sure she would hate to be lumped in with the likes of Ann Coulter.

Seems like some urban myth used to make fun of Ann. Which sort of makes fun of transexuals by association.

Ann give us enough ammunition to trash her without having to speculate on her gender or lack thereof.

[chelsea0011]

19. One thing is for certain looking at the earlier pics, she is anorexic now

[Marr]

23. I'm not sure whether this silly rumor comes from:

A. People who think it's an insult to call someone transgendered

or

B. Women who don't want to believe someone as repulsive as Ann Coulter is a female

:D

[LuckyTheDog]

25. I don't think it's an insult to call someone transgendered

But I was hoping to track down the source of the rumor. If true, it'd be additional proof that Coulter is a monumental hypocrite. But it seems unlikely to be true, based on what has been posted here.

[Marr]

27. Oh- I totally understand. I'm not accusing you of that.

I did the exact same thing myself when I first heard the rumor. It certainly piqued my curiosity. The way it's pushed though- I mean, so many of these people who push it must know it's demonstrably untrue.
