Hmm, so you are saying that she is a male because your science says so. She is not mutilated with a scalpel, she can have babies, and knows she is a female. The name of the condition is "Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome . People with the condition are geneticly male, appear female externally (breasts, no facial hair, short vagina) but have no uterus, ovaries, or fallopean tubes (and thus cannot have kids), and have testes (but the testes did not descend).

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.
