Who Was a Man?

Believe it or not, it's Calpernia Addams! Contrary to popular belief, Janice, Heidi and Joanie were all, in fact, born biological women.
Calpernia Addams
Calpernia, who turns 37 on Wednesday, was born male -- and transitioned to female in her twenties.

The 2003 Showtime movie, "Soldier's Girl," dramatized the tragic murder of her Army boyfriend. Calpernia is currently looking for love on the transgendered-girl-meets-boy reality dating series, "Transamerican Love Story."

I guessed that right away, even though she/he pulled a nasty trick with that upcurled lip and gap tooth, which is very smart because it's a feminine touch that draws your attention.

But a man is a man. Where you can see it is in the macho temples, but mainly in the eyes -- men just have a different expression in their eyes than women. Calpernia, I dub thee "Man Eyes."

Heh, I'll bet most people have no idea how many Trans people they interact with every day, have dated, and even bumped with. They're just folks. I think she looks pretty good.

Jesus, you people are pigs. She's beautiful, and none of you would have the faintest idea of her gender history if stupid questions like "Which One Was Born Male?" didn't provide you with a chance to show how little class--not to mention acuity-- you actually have.

This is disgusting. And to think this is becoming an acceptable normality in society?!? With all the thoughts provoked by these so called trans gendered individuals, such as their roles in society, parenting abilities, and reproductive capabilities we often forget that one must actually cut off his penis and testicles to become a woman. Things that make you go hmmmmm...

A lot of your closed minded people are lacking heart and compassion. If I were Ms. Adams mother and your mother, I would certainly be proud of her, and disgusted by you. Do you imagine she transitioned to female just to amuse/anger/disgust you? Try to imagine how hard it would be to be a woman but have the body of a man? This is no life anyone would choose, and you should be ashamed that you are so cruel.

Can you get off the Paris flight?:  1456 days ago

This type of surgery is wrong, sorry, that's just the way I feel and I don't care if it's PC or not. This person isn't even a star to boot, please don't post this type of junk TMZ.

"She has been through a very difficult time when her boyfriend was murdered by senseless homophobic idiots like the ones on this site."

Neta, you can disagree with someone's lifestyle and not be homophobic. You can love, be friends with and care about straight people and not agree with their lifestyle with no label, why is it when they are gay it's called homophobic? It is disgusting to me that you compare people who may not agree with this lifestyle to murders! I am as appalled by the murder of her boyfriend as you are! Murder is a horrible criminal act committed by sick people! Disagreeing with someone's lifestyle is not a crime however and it doesn't make them predisposed to murderous tendencies!
