Michelle, you see, was born intersexed (i.e., with ambiguous genitalia) but has lived her entire life as a woman. She self-identifies as transgendered and is pretty open about it (in a city of 15,000 people, it's hard to hide certain things) though she refuses to discuss the specifics of her medical records — and good for her. She's been a City Council member for almost 4 years, has been mocked on a local radio program and if anyone doesn't know her backstory, well, it ain't because she's been in any kind of closet.
