Most progressives will find the claim as low and mean-spirited as Ann's own rhetoric. The idea seems to have been born on usenet -- where, for at least two years, commentators have made snarky remarks about Coulter's adam's apple, boyish frame, and alleged five o'clock shadow.
Now we have the following from the TRBNews website's "Voice of Washington" -- an alleged insider referenced previously by this blog:
There is a rumor going the rounds of the Press Corps that in real life Ann Coulter is a man. He/she was once Arthur Coltrane from Pickens County, Georgia, who went to Denmark when he/she was a teenager for a sex-change operation to become a woman, the operation being paid for by his/her wealthy and doting mother, Darlene Coltrane, heiress to a hog-farming fortune. The consensus about "Ms." Coulter/Coltrane in the Press Room is that ONLY a gay man could have such a vicious mouth on him/her. People are saying that his/her stunning blond locks are really a wig, which he/she got in a Copenhagen sex-toys and drag-queen supply shop, when his/her own hair fell out after the hormone shots took effect.Of course, I've yet to see proof that this Voice of Washington is who he says he is. Some consider TRBNews an outgrowth of the Liberty Lobby; I have no idea if that allegation is true, but I wouldn't be utterly shocked to discover that it is. (Note, though, that TRBNews has scored the anti-Semitism of GOPUSA.)
Having seen what makeup could do for drag queen Ru Paul, who in real life is a VERY plain-looking black man, everyone finds it not surprising that "Ms." Ann Coulter/Coltrane would have shunned his/her family hog-farming business for the brighter lights of the big city, since we have heard that without all that Danish foundation cream, he/she might easily have been mistaken for one of the livestock.
Googling indicates the the TRBNews site was the first to link the names "Arthur Coltrane" and "Ann Coulter."
Is it indeed the case that this allegation has made the rounds in DC? Or did VOW make this claim merely to initiate such a rumor?
Rumor it is, methinks.
And I'll grin very widely if Ann is forced to deny it.

It's appealing to think this is true. Such viciousness deserves comeuppance!
I googled her name and hit "images" and found several pix were definitely questionable in the Adams Apple department

Joe, where do you get off SUPPOSING Ann is a man? It's a sure thing.
Here in home of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, we get a lot of experience picking out trannies. Piece o' cake; Ann's not only got an Adam's apple, but look carefully at 'her' midsection when 'she' bends forward.
Biological women's bodies 'bend' above the navel. Men's bodies bend below. Now go look at Ann on video.
Ann might have done the estrogen trip at sometime in 'her' life, but certainly not since birth.
I rather thought all you yanks had this boi sussed out by now!
-weez
Brilliant, incisive reporting. Why do you suppose Wayne Madsen forgot to sign his name? Hey, did you know that Bill Clinton is the Anti-Christ? Some asshole with an 83 IQ said he was, so it must be true, right?
I've asked this question before, but why do you want your political adversaries to laugh at you?
Darien, Connecticut?
Makes sense -- a town where preppy guys thinks it's OK to rape girls and get away with it.

I think all the right wingers have deep sexual issues in which case Ann Coulter is one. I think Laura Ingraham is a lesbian and I think Michael Savage is a self-hating male homosexual. Savage is the worse offender of a self-hating gay male. It is too bad that this man is so sexually frustrated. I wonder what Govenor Arnold would look like without his steroid body and of course Rush Limbaugh without his drug enhancements. Savage is a pig and a retard whose sexual repression is so evident by his fixation with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis only because Savage is a Nazi himself. Sean Hannity is another sexually frusrated troll who needs to get not only a REAL JOB but a New Brain! We all knnow that Bill O'Reilly has some very deep sexual problems and so this is so fitting for all the right wing losers who are nothing but Nazis and slef-hating closeted homosexuals who make their living bashing the very essence of what they deny is part of their own making. Ann Coulter definitely has a five o'colck shaow. There is nothing wrong with being gay, lesbian, or a transexual but as America should know the Republican party and all its partisans have their share of closeted gays in the mold of J. Edgar "cross-dressing" secret male kissing" Hoover and yes, those Lynn Cheney salacious lesbian novels. Oh, wait a minute, do the ladies really wear the pants in the Bush and Cheney families? I wonder if its Lynn Cheney who dominates Dick in the wee hours of the night as they talk about their own sexual dysfunctions which is so prevalent in the violent laden republican party and all of its extended parts including the tranny girl--from boy---Ann Coulter.
John Coltrane was formerly Thelonious Monk before he had a "sax" change.
You idiots. Ann Coulter is a hot chick. Get over it.
Conservative republicans get tumescent watching her adams apple bob when she talks
She's not from Darien, CT. Connecticut, yes; Darien, no.
So what, I don't have an adam's apple, does that make me a woman then?
As a transsexual, I honestly have no doubt that Ann is a TS as well. The only downside is that she deny's it. I dislike her and her inability to tell the truth about her past when looking at her it is so obvious. She is tall like a man. Has a man's forehead and adam's apple. She needs facial feminization surgery no doubt. I would say the odds are high that she wasn't born a she.
feel free to come on by and check the **big and tall**Blog/site
As a male-to-female transsexual, I can state with definitive certainty that Ann coulter has been under the influence of testosterone.
There are several physical attributes that distinctly indicate the effects.
The skeleton is the most recognizable evidence since it leaves so many clues, so I will devote most of this analysis to her skeleton.
Estrogen kills the growth plates that elongate the skeleton vertically and that broaden the shoulders and thicken the neck. Estrogen also kills off the growth plates that enlarge the joints of the hands and feet. Estrogen also kills the growth plates that cause the face to elongate from front to back and makes the facial features protrude. Estrogen kills off the growth plates that cause the larynx to protrude forward like the facial features. In contrast, testosterone only kills the growth plates that widen the pelvis.
As far as hair goes, that can be addressed with translplant surgery if male pattern baldness has been a problem. Ann has bangs that hide her temples and is never photographed with her hair tied back. Bald temples are the most distinctively recognizable and most common effect of male hormones. Ann hides her temples. She also relies on long hair to frame her square face with gentle curves and camouflage her jaw joint, as well as to disguise the length and thickness of her neck.
As far as voice box goes, Ann has a distinctively male adam's apple. Voice training can address that, and so can surgery to some extent, both to raise the pitch and to lower the bulge. Ann has worked hard on her voice. I know of several TS's who have impeccable voices, but they all worked very hard for it.
Ann has shoulders that are visibly wider than her hips. Very few females have this trait and I have seen none that have the ratio exhibited by Ann. Usually heavy-set females will have not only wide shoulders but also wide hips and a thick skeleton over all. Ann is otherwise very frail. She might or might not have some (illegal) silicone injection in her butt (probably not since it is so dangerous and she is too bright to take that risk, besides she has no sagging pouches of gloop hanging out anywhere). It would be more difficult to ascertain if she had fresh silicone but not impossible.
Ann has arms and legs that are too long for her body. This trait is screamingly obvious when she puts her hands on her hips. Her elbows protrude away from her body at least 1 inch too far and her upper arm is way too long. Her hands are also too large, although not extremely so like my own hands that look almost feminine since I had low testosterone all my life and did not masculinize radically. Some MTF transsexuals actually have their hands altered, but it is risky and causes disability. I know of no foot reduction surgery and this is a major problem for MTF's with large feet.
Ann has deep, vetically shortened, protruding eye sockets. Females have relatively rounded, shallow, open eye sockets and their eyeballs are closer to the surface of the face as well as more protruding, exposed and rounded. Female eyes seem to be very large in the face and this is a common beauty trait since it is reminiscent of child-like youth. Some surgeons actually peel the scalp down from the hairline and grind off the brow. The result is more prominent eyes.
Her forehead is flat except for the protruding eye sockets. Females have a forehead that is convex in all dimensions, round like a ball. In some extreme cases where the entire brow and sinus cavity protrudes too far, some surgeons remove a section of the forehead and replace it backwards to create a convex forehead and shallow brow, while shrinking the sinus which helps to feminize the voice somewhat. In some cases the forehead is simply replaced with a titanium plate.
Ann has a large distance between her eye sockets and her hairline. Her eyebrows are low over the sockets, but in females the vertical distance between hairline and eye socket/eyebrow is small. Their eyebrows also arch higher over the eye sockets. When surgeons re-attach the forehead they frequently remove a slice of scalp to advance a receding hairline and raise the eyebrows but the vetical distance between the top of the eye socket and the top of the head remains too long.
Ann's nose is too long and the distance between the lower tip of her nose and the top of her upper lip is too long also. Nose job usually concentrates on shortening the nose, flattening the bridge of the nose and sometimes shortening the upper lip. The result is that the upper teeth are well exposed but this results in a somewhat fierce and gaunt look since the overall distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin is quite long.
Ann has flat check bones. This can be addressed by adding malar implants to the outside of the cheek bones but to my knowledge no one attempts to grind off a protruding cheek bone adjacent to the nose, probably because the resultant scarring and bruising would ruin the fadial features and the thin ckeek bone would compromise the protection of the sinus. Even with malar implants the masculine profile from the side has too much bulge in the very center of the snout area. I see no profile pictures of Ann on the net and suspect that she deliberately avoids turning herself sideways to any camera.
Ann has large masseter (chewing) muscles that protrude over a large jaw joint, making her jawline quite square in back. I also have this trait. Her ears are also too high above the jaw joint due to the overall elongation of her skull. Ann's chin is also too long and square. Some surgeons thin the masseter muscle and remove bone from the masseter area to slide it down to the mid-jaw. Sometimes the squareness of the chin is shaved off or a chin implant is added. This gives a more rounded appearance to the jaw and a more pointed look to the chin.
The effect of all these facial surgeries area can be quite striking but two major telltale signs remain. The face is still too long from top to bottom and the side profile face still protrudes too far. The teeth also protrude too far since the elongation of the face from front to back is impossible to eradicate.
Ann has another distinctly male characteristic. She is naturally frail (as are many MTF transsexuals, myself included) and her body over all did not respond well to estrogen. She did not gain much weight from the hormones, probably due to a genetically weak response to hormones overall, which might also explain her somewhoat feminized brain. If her body had responded more strongly to hormones she might have had an even stockier football-player type of frame, but she also would have put on serious poundage due to estrogen and might have successfully hidden her skeleton with lard. Alas, she was not that lucky.
Overall it is blatantly obvious that this woman is transgender/intersex, and any trannie who has seriously investigated feminization surgery knows exactly what to look for. She screams testosterone.
Anne O'Namus' comment above was an excellent and technically accurate exposition of the effects of testosterone and oestrogen during foetal development. A Keeper, I've saved it away in a textfile.
The conclusion - well, I wouldn't go that far.
Consider a known GG (genetic girl) like Angelina Jolie. She has oodles of "Male Markers" on her face.
The fact is, people respond to hormones differently. And as any TS will tell you, Weird Stuff (tm) can happen in the normal course of development, without it being considered an Intersex condition as such.
Now TS Right Wing Death Bi*ches exist. I know, I'm one of them. If, and I can't *quite* totally dismiss the possibility, Ann Coulter is TS, she's done a fantastic job of "Stealth"ing, and is an inspiration to us all, no matter what our political leanings.
I know how difficult Stealth is. Even though I'm not exactly a famous Blogger, I am on the list of Contributors to The Command Post, and have had an Instalanche or two for my own blog.
Because my own transition was unplanned, and the result of a rare medical condition (I told you about Weird Stuff didn't I?) it was just too darned public to even bother attempting to conceal it completely. I just try to keep it as low profile as I can, and hopefully in a couple of years most people will have forgotten.
The only sure way of stopping being "outed" by small-minded, vicious and bigoted people of ill-will, especially those convinced of their own moral rectitude, is not to keep it a secret. Otherwise you live in constant fear. Fundies are bad, but for sheer self-righteous priggery, nothing beats a True Blue Liberal. As the story shows, on here, the Daily Kos, and so on.
