Swager grew up as a boy, Michael, but always knew there was something feminine about her. As an adult, she learned that she was actually genetically female and began transitioning.

Um, wouldn't looking in the mirror give 'it' a clue?

I’ll take her/his word that he/she suffered from a hermaphroditic condition. This does happen and is quite odd.

Presumably, she/he is XXY, which can result in both types of genitalia being present, often with the vagina subsumed into the body.

There are some people who are, for instance, genetically XX but who look male at birth (e.g. with an enlarged clitoris, she could look as if she had a small penis and undescended testicles --- it is not at all unheard-of for female newborn to be wrongly labeled male).

There was an African athlete, a runner, a couple of years ago that had the opposite condition: both genetically and anatomically ambiguous: but I believe the judges finally disqualified her from women's competitions because "she" had a male musculature as a result of this anomaly.

If I'm reading this correctly, this is apparently a case of an XX female with ambiguous development of the primary and secondary sexual characteristics, getting repair surgery. It's not the kind of radical "trans-genderism" that the gender deconstructionists are now foisting on us.

Ummmm, what does Swager’s mom say? Swager’s dad say?

Therein lies the difficulty of upbringing as both Mum&Dud were told by the OB/Gyn waht was going on.

Me smells a feminista liberal.

genetically female with boy parts?
I don’t think so. Perhaps highly feminine, and severely confused.

Swager was born with Kallmann Syndrome:

Apparently doctors knew from birth something was wrong, and it was decided Swager was male, and was subsequently given injections of testosterone at puberty.

Kallmann Syndrome is basically an endocrine disorder impairing the hypothalmus that affects both males and females, making them appear somewhat androgynous. Canadian writer Brian Brett is another person with the syndrome. His memoir “Uproar’s Your Only Music” tells a fascinating story about his growing up and the problems in his life caused by the syndrome. After years of not knowing what was wrong with himself he was finally diagnosed and started getting the proper hormone treatment. Before and after photographs show a remarkable difference.

There’s a new reality show about trannies now, I think it might be on TLC. Something like “New Girls in Town”. This is how sick this culture has become.

One thing to have the condition and finally doing something about it compared to getting hit over the head one day with a two by four and suddenly realizing you never should have been peeing standing up
