Being that there were not many opportunities back in the day for a woman jazz musician, she decided to change her appearance in order to get in the door.

Strange and sad story, actually.

Billy Tipton was from Spokane, and when the story broke it was a huge shock to most who knew him. He was a very well-known musician- I can remember seeing his name on area marquees all the time when I was growing up. We're a weird little town, I tell ya.

There would have had to be a heck of a lot of decieving going on for 17 years. I mean, don't you usually go through a battery of testing to determine infertility before going the AID route for having a family? How did he fake that stuff? Was he a brilliant liar or was she unbelievably gullable?

Or is it CP who has been pulling the wool over GD's eyes...?

It couldn't be that difficult to fake girthiness.

It is my belief that in marriages that involve women who don't like sex, this scenario isn't actually that far-fetched. She lays prone in the dark under the sheets for a couple minutes every once in a while. She may not have had much experience with sex, or simply disliked it enough that she really wasn't paying attention.

As a woman who actually enjoys sex and loves leaving the lights on, I can firmly attest to my husband's very male sexuality.

Firmly.

As for myself...if you look at pics of me as a kid you could assume I was a boy....

Oh, and I've seen women with goatees...
