This was a real popular conversation in the 80s. She never shied away from it.
Her parents had to make a choice when she was born. She was born with both male and female sex organs, a Hermaphrodite.
My understanding is that her parents waited until she was all older and the more pronounced organs/hormones were used to determine her gender and the male organs were removed.
At the time her parents had enough money to ensure she had the best medical care for her condition.
She’s never been able to have children,.. was married, adopted kids, and has lived a fairly normal life with this condition.
The hermaphrodite part is factual from what I've seen. I can't confirm if the male parts were removed or not.
But... but... Snopes says it's not true 🤣
Classic Snopes: "Long-standing rumor holds that actress Jamie Lee Curtis acknowledged in an interview that she was born with both male and female sex organs."
They are only "fact-checking," she "acknowledged in an interview." not that she was born with both male and female sex organs.
I can’t confirm your details, but yes in the 80s stuff went around about JLC being a man.
This is what I’ve always heard, but unfortunately that’s not entirely true. I’m not sure if the hermaphrodite rumor is true or not, but I do know that she has walked off a few interviews because the host asked.
Right, I remember that too.
I remember something from the 80s that said that.. and then the subject matter was closed.
I think the more people inquired —the less inclined she was to talk about it.
If I remember from her mother or father, someone said that it was a very tough decision.
What ever happened as a child/infant she’s OK with who she is. That much she said in almost every interview.
I must say that I have compassion for people born with this condition. IMO, it is the only acceptable category (I) out of the LGBTIQ acronym and should not be included as it is a physical reality, unlike the others.
I've heard this story many times before, no idea if it's true or not. She really looks like a woman.
