So why was he/she in jail at the time of his/her death?

[Waco]

Good gooblie goo!

[PJ-Comix]

So why was Gregory/Gloria in jail? Article doesn't say.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

On Sept. 26, he was arrested for indecent exposure in Key Biscayne while walking down the road naked, a pair of women's pumps in his hand; he died Oct. 1, 2001, of heart failure, found slumped on the floor of the Women's Annex.

That is why he/she was arrested.

Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
  Suspenders and a .... a Bra????
  (mounties break off song, and begin insulting lumberjack)

Girl: (crying)
I thought you were so rugged!

When life imitates Monty Python... hey, wasn't Hemingway (Ernest) originally dressed as a girl when he was small... his mother wanted a girl. Or perhaps I am confusing him with some other "rugged" writer who whelped a perverse family.

d.o.l.

Ping!

[Slings and Arrows]

Ernest Hemingway -> Gregory/Gloria Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway -> Muriel & Margaux Hemingway

Hmmm, maybe Darwin got it backwards.

[Sacajaweau]

Geez, I had to slap myself in the head to get out of the trance this article induced.

I'd slap the subjects myself, but tastes vary.

[scouse]

He'd had a sex change

"A Farewell to [CENSORED]"

[Alouette]

dirty and greasy-haired and his car [being] full of beer cans

Yep. That sounds like a Hemingway.

[shhrubbery!]

Gregory Hemingway was born, IIRC, to Ernest Hemingway's mistress Pauline after he deserted his very lovely and decent first wife, Hadley. Ernest was hell-bent on becoming one of the 'beautiful people' crowd in Paris. He then went on to careen through at least a couple of more disastrous marriages.

The descendants of Ernest Hemingway have been plagued by the usual ills of trash culture: drug overdoses, perverted sex, and premature death.

I'm a firm believer individual responsibility for one's life; but sometimes it does seem that the sins of the father are visited upon his young.

[BlackVeil]

It puts one in a daze, doesn't it? How many problems can one guy have ... ?

And look at this bit:

Rothenberg's decision almost certainly will blaze new trails in an already evolving legal landscape in Florida.

[Noachian]

..., was Gregory the sex he was born into, or the one into which he changed?

Only lawyers would be smart enough to debate this question in this day and age. This guy was a pathetic mental case, and the lawyers are dragging the case out because they get paid by the hour. After the money's gone so are the lawyers.

No matter what you cut off, or add on, your genetic structure stays the same, except in rare cases of genetic foulups which this guy didn't have. Proof of sex is as easy as a DNA test.

I don't understand why the gender matters in a will contest. Even if the marriage wasn't valid, you don't have to be married to someone in order to leave them the bulk of your estate.

I do have a hard time understanding how such a crazy guy could have accumulated so much money. I would have thought it came from his father but the article says that Ernest Hemingway disinherited him, and his mother predeceased him.

[CobaltBlue]

I didn't realize that Margaux Hemingway had died from a drug overdose. What a strange family.

Proof of sex is as easy as a DNA test.

No, it isnt. Lots of what some females think they are, are really XY, or XXy, or XYY, (e.g.like the actress Jamie Lee Curtis), if they ever got their chromosomes checked. It happens more often than you think. It is not rare at all to have mixed up chromosomes: different than the normal xx or xy.
