Georgia Southern University scientists say they made the discovery about General Casimir Pulaski after years of research
They claim DNA testing and examination of skeletal remains shows Pulaski was biologically female
A new documentary suggests that Pulaski had an intersex condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia
They said Pulaski's remains showed a female-looking pelvis, as well as a more female facial structure and jaw
The team's findings are currently being reviewed by the Journal of Forensic Anthropology
======================================================================
Scientific researchers are arguing that examination of skeletal remains and DNA testing has found that a Revolutionary war hero dubbed 'the father of the American cavalry' was in fact biologically female.
Researchers from Georgia Southern University say they made the discovery about General Casimir Pulaski after years of research examining the general's remains.
Their claims are laid out in a new documentary - The General Was Female? - on the Smithsonian Channel's America's Hidden Stories series, which airs next week.
The documentary suggests that Pulaski had an intersex condition known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
The condition results in genetic females producing excessive amounts of male steroid hormones that can lead to abnormal sexual development and make genitals appear more masculine.

Pulaski may have been an intersex, IOW, a hermaphrodite.
That he was a Freemason, would have protected his secret, until modern science...................
As much as I dislike her, Jennifer Lawrence would be a good choice if they figure out Pulaski was at least partially female................
Used to be called Crawford..
Very well played.

“First, they have to cast for the right female lead actress.”
Tilda Swinton, she can play a woman, a man, or anything in between.
Hey, thanks....
“When the monument here was under erection the grave at Greenwich was opened.”
If Pulaski was really female, how could there be an erection?”
Doesn't inspire confidence as to the rest of the article.
Yes, she would be a good actress for this.
Jen annoys me during her interviews, but when given the right script, she can be funny, angry, combative, dreamy and all that a basic actor needs to enter the character.
Just don’t put Patrick McConaughey in it. He’s been making some poor script choices here lately.
It seems ever since Patrick did that role where he dropped a lot of weight, his career and appearance project some sort of weakness. It just might be my impression.
Why not just cast Jussie?
Rimshot. Or groan, not sure yet!
Only if he crossed Devon (going North, that is).
Wiki - that says it all.
The correct version would be non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an incurable hereditary defect of the endocrine system that typically manifests during the early onset of puberty. The endocrine system produces too many free floating adrenal androgens, resulting in masculinazation of the body. Women with NCCAH will slowly lose their female appearance, will have the body hair of a man *including facial hair, will experience male-pattern baldness, and will have trouble reproducing. In later life, you would not be able to tell they are female unless you examine their genitalia.
There are 128 variants of NCCAH. An ACHT stimulation test is the only way to screen for all variants.
So yes, it could definitely have been a woman.
Hospitals screen newborns for CAH since it can be fatal in infants.
She was a sister who really cooked... with electricity. Thats the ARC part of her name.
My band covers that tune. Love it.
There are a LOT of similar songs in the repertoire, makes one wonder
It’s British, so it’s gonna have a wee bit o’ bias...................
You mean Matthew McConaughey ?....................
Well I guess we won’t be tearing his statue down anytime soon! Can you just imain how conflicted the SJW’s are?
He didn’t own slaves...........................
