Looks like it was based from an off the cuff remark that Joan Rivers made AND THEN SHE DIED!!!
Or maybe a few conspiracy nuts thought it and then Joan Rivers said it and that makes it TRUE because Joan Rivers told the TRUTH and never said anything that wasn't true about anyone ever. And then Joan Rivers DIED during surgery which means she was murdered because 81 year olds don't die during surgery. No one mentions that the clinic was found to be negligent but I'm sure that can be spun as a cover story.
And coming at the end of the Presidency it's like people are grasping at straws.
Also she has arms and she's not "attractive" and her daughters don't look like her.
My response to the crazy-ass rumors is that even if they were true, so what?
There's been a long standing bit of subcultural gossip about secretly or not-out transgender people. It starts back in the late fifties/early sixties when the surgery was starting to improve under a doctor in Egypt. That's where Amanda Lear had her transitional surgery (financed by Salvador Dali, by several accounts. She was in his entourage for years.) That's also when the model April Ashley was outed as being transgender (ending her career).
Anyway, once that notion took hold it was applied to just about any woman who had a strong jawline who had a veiled past. Donna Summer was probably the most famous example of a famous woman reputed to have been born a man (untrue in her case). That's the backstory on how that notion gained some currency, even though it's been falsely applied many times over.

Wow, interesting, David!!
I went to a bar and was waiting for it to open with a couple friends, so we could watch the women's soccer at 3pm here. And then we got them to put the Canadian channel on and watch their commentary. Better commentary, much worse cinematography (on the games but mostly on the pre-taped segments with athletes).
Michele Obama may have great arms, but I defy anyone to look at her child-bearing hips and suggest she was born male.
FB is giving me prosthetics ads. I mean, I DO have a friend who is an amputee (and has the most amazing prosthetics, including ones specifically for skateboarding) but....
Well obviously Michele was born a man, she is way too tall to be a woman. (Does double take at 6' tall son's girlfriend and SILs)
The Hillary killer of all opponents or those who insult her thing is way too wide spread. I have too many people in my life that accept every conspiracy theory as fact. I am on a kind of FB vacation because I will go off on people if I don't.
Steph, I had no idea that the Hall of Justice was in Cincinnati: [link]
Hell yeah. The comic con has started doing photo shoots there.
Also, our failed attempt at a subway is fascinating.
