Ann Coulter neglects to answer gender question on voter registration form

Conservative commentator and best-selling author Ann Coulter neglected to answer Question #15 on her Palm Beach County, FL voter registration form, PageOneQ has learned. The question asks the registrant to indicate sex by checking 'M' or 'F' on the form. Bloggers and comment posts have speculated about Coulter's gender identity.

Arthur Anderson, Jr., The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, confirmed to PageOneQ that Question 15 had not been answered on the original form. Coulter's registration form was first posted by BradBlog.com, the blog of voting rights activist and journalist Brad Friedman. Friedman reported Tuesday that Coulter's registration form raised questions about her decision to register and vote at an address where she did not live. For a full report on Coulter's voter registration click here.

"I object," said a transgender activist who spoke with PageOneQ today, "To the state of Florida expecting its citizens to answer questions which are not relevant for voter registration." When asked about Coulter's voter registration form, the activist declined to speak specifically about Coulter. "Generally speaking, I hope there is a day when transgendered people can be open about who they are without fear of retribution from employers, colleagues and neighbors. With that in mind, I hope anyone with a high media profile would use that opportunity to be honest with the American people."

1. Ann wants to be seen as female, right?

Otherwise, she's pulling off the "man look" all wrong.

[TomInTib]

2. apparently there wasn't a box for "vitriolic bitches of un-specified

gender preferences ", and why not, I want to know. VBOUSGP's are people, too. Well - in this case - maybe not.

Maybe there is a forum here for them. And they should have their own prom.

[greyl]

3. Why should anyone have to answer that question? nt

[purduejake]

5. Agreed. n/t

[paineinthearse]

7. Simple solution.

Answer "yes".

[tinfoilinfor2005]

26. Another way to verify your identity at the polls when voting

I would suspect.

[CPMaz]

57. Agreed. Who cares if Ann Coulter

is female, male, or transgendered? Or even human?

The important thing is that she is an absolutely horrible writer and commentator, even for a neo-con.

[Erika]

4. She's a total bore

regardless of her sex.

[greyl]

12. Gender and sex aren't the same thing.

Otherwise I agree with you. :) I don't understand what Bill Maher sees in her.

[iconoclastNYC]

29. Hmmmmm.

Looks like a woman....but with a stronger grip and suction? Maybe? Ewe.

[ThoughtCriminal]

6. I bet lots of people do that

I often refuse to identify my gender on forms when not required (Here at DU for example). I also notice that Coulter also left the race selection blank.

[HuffleClaw]

8. race selection ?

you have to identify yer RACE on a voters registration form?

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. Line 14 - I assume it's optional

There's a pic of her(?) form here:

[gglor]

9. the point is to cause her and condi rice as much pain as possible

it has nothing to do with gender, she does look like a guy, it has to do with her power to air her disgusting and treasonous views.

[gglor]

10. the point is to cause her and condi rice as much pain as possible

it has nothing to do with gender, she does look like a guy, it has to do with her power to air her disgusting and treasonous views.

[silverojo]

18. I can guess why

<<I also notice that Coulter also left the race selection blank.>>

She probably couldn't find a category for "Aryan".

[MercutioATC]

11. Oh, for chrissakes...she's female.

She might be a mannish female, but I'll bet her chromosomes are XX.

Why do we do these silly things?

[Fun Doom Mentalist]

14. I disagree

There are websites-people who used to know him-
They even post his real name at birth.

I personally do not care if anyone dresses up like whatever or whomever they want.
As long as it makes them happy it shouldn't bother anyone else!

The problem this:
how can you represent the Right Wing views of Fox if
you are yourself one of "the ones" that your group hates?

c'mon now-
let's not be silly(as you say)-
we all know rebupees hate gays
they hate cross genders
they hate cross dressers

So how can a person who IS one speak on behalf of a group that HATES them?

--- the definition of hypocrisy

[MercutioATC]

15. I'l bet I could find a website that "proves" that

Kerry was a Vietnamese prostitute.

Dude, Ann Coulter is a girl...a mannish girl, but a girl nonetheless.

As a consolation, you're still allowed to hate her...

[Fun Doom Mentalist]

17. what's that about-?consolation? I'm surprised

Here's what I said--quote:
"I personally do not care if anyone dresses up like whatever or whomever they want.
As long as it makes them happy it shouldn't bother anyone else! "

I told you the problem is that she is the voice for the RW group that openly opposes gays and cross genders.

It is the true definition of hypocrisy.

To clarify again-The problem is NOT that she used to be a man!

That's fine if you want to believe she's just a strange looking female with an adams apple and boney knees.
But even a strange looking female should have the sense not be a spokeperson for a RW organization
like FOX ...the RW echo machine probably hates strange looking females as well as gays!
But that's not the case anyway--she is actually a man.

over and out
--

[maddiejoan]

23. See post #16

She's NOT a man.

[mtnsnake]

39. I couldn't agree more with you

Coulter was not always a girl. No way. He might look vaguely similar to one now in a far-off kind of way, but Ann still has a lot of man left in him.

[maddiejoan]

47. The true definition of hypocracy is...

The true definition of hypocracy is a supposedly tolerant liberal espousing hate speech.

You label a genetic female as having to be transgendered because IN YOUR OPINION she exhibts "masculine" traits. The fact that you use transgender as a form of insult escapes you, and is doubly ridiculous when pointing hypocracy of Ann Coulter when in fact she's just another born female who happens to be a lunatic wingnut.

[Fun Doom Mentalist]

48. -----------see post #19

and my sig line

[maddiejoan]

52. So?

She doesnt have an Adam's apple. Her neck is so damned skinny you just see all the cartlidge. You see that on all anorexics.
Honestly I don't even see why you defend such appalling manners.

[silverojo]

19. Not with that voice and adam's apple

To paraphrase Randi Rhodes:

She's a MAN, baby!

[maddiejoan]

16. Oh for cryin' outloud.

SHE isn't transgendered, and as a transgendered woman (who always checks female in as many boxes that will let me) I'm getting increasingly offended by this particular form of hate-mongering witch hunt that uses TG as an insult.

Here! See! Check the link! She was born female.

http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101050425/gallery/2.html



I really think transphobic hate speech and intolerance needs to be bannable at DU.

[greyl]

20. Nice job. :) nt

[silverojo]

21. I really think you need to lighten up

The insult isn't about being TG or not being TG...it's about her being such a hypocrite about being anti-everything (including TG) while it's very easy to mistake her for a failed sex-change operation because of her big head, adam's apple, and deep voice.

So lighten up, will ya?

[maddiejoan]

22. Oh how could I be upset by that.

I mean what's insulting about deciding a woman is so ugly she must be transgendered?

FWIW I hear way more anti-trans sentiment on DU then I do from Coulter.

And no --I won't "lighten up" so people like you can trample all over me.

[tishaLA]

24. I totally agree with you

re: "I hear way more anti-trans sentiment on DU then I do from Coulter."

This is an incredibly transphobic atmosphere. It's very disappointing.

[bunkerbuster1]

27. Agreed. Never liked the "Ann the man" riff a tall.

I mean, if nothing else, so fucking what if her features are mannish? It's nothing to do with the hate she spews.

[Fun Doom Mentalist]

49. why doesn't it have anything to do with that?

I say it does-
It's like being pink and joining an anti-pink group as a spokesperson in a country with a purple majority that hates pink people.
See my point?

[Frank Cannon]

25. Much as I hate to, I gotta back you up on this, maddiejoan

There are a million reasons to express loathing and ridicule for Ann Coulter, but I've never understood what the labeling of her as a transgendered person accomplishes. Aside from that being a backhanded insult to real transgendered people, I doubt if it's even true in Coulter's case. I've seen pictures of her from her youth and she seems XX enough.

I think Ann Coulter's strange appearance has more to do with anorexia, possible drug use, psychosis, and just plain evil than anything else.

[iconoclastNYC]

30. Oh I concure.

Lets ban everything!!!

[maddiejoan]

36. So you're fine with that?

You're advocating that it's perfectly all right to use transgender as an insult?
You must be a very thoughtful and tolerant person.

[iconoclastNYC]

60. That's your charecterization of what that person said

Nice straw uhm...person?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. I really don't know or care, but LOOK at the collar on that sweater;

Her neck must be as long as a giraffe! I'm totally jealous...my head sits pretty much on my shoulders, no room for a neck.

[hippiechick]

32. I guess the bigger question then is ...

If the pic in your post is "early-Ann" ....WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HER ??? :scared:

[maddiejoan]

34. my guess?

coke, anorexia and pure concentrated evil. Theres a picture of Dorian Gray in her attic that hasn't aged a day.

[Frank Cannon]

37. The same thing that happened to the Emperor in Star Wars

Before and after...


Evil has a way of doing that to people. As much as I ridicule George Lucas, he is absolutely correct about this.

[Duncan Grant]

43. Hi maddiejoan!

Great post! It is a hate-mongering witch hunt.

There are those here who would alienate their friends and supporters by doggedly clinging to the right to ridicule Ann Coulter at the expense of transgendered people.

Perhaps if people would consider replacing the disparaging gender identity remarks with an ethnic or sexual orientation slur -- their civility might improve significantly.

And I'd like to add, this is not about "political correctness" but rather survival and dignity and respect.

All the best to you maddiejoan - you have many allies here. :hi:

[TheBaldyMan]

50. That must have been before her testosterone shots :D

[GOPNotForMe]

53. First, you're right about the offensive comments here.

Second, as much as I hate to say this (although it really is completely irrelevant), she had a natural beauty back then.

Also, some of the defensive comments here remind me of people back in high school who really had no problem with gay people but adamantly refused to stop callings things "gay" derogatorily. It's this bullying mentality that seeps into otherwise decent people when there is an opportunity to ridicule an "other." Unfortunate how often it occurs here.

I got your back!

[lwcon]

58. Poking fun at Ann's gender identity...

seems like justified Adam's ribbing.

Her intolerant comments include saying that:

... accepting gays makes the Episcopal Church not religious
... she supports banning gays from being scout leaders
... "I think we have a long way to go with censorship when we have 'Will and Grace' on TV"
... if she had a gay son she'd tell him he was adopted
... she not only opposes gay marriage but said of the New York Times' posting of gay unions "it looks like a parody out of The Onion. Will they be showing them, you know, in full regalia getting dressed? Will we know which one is keeping his last name? I mean I just think it's not doing a service to gays. I think it makes them look ridiculous."

IMHO, it's joke-worthy not because trangendered people should be mocked, but because we're talking about someone who's openly hostile to alternative gender identities.

I support your right to call it unfunny and inappropriate. But calling for a ban because the subject matter (but not the target) is close to home? I thought we were about the first amendment over here....

[maddiejoan]

62. :::sigh:::

When someone uses your identity as a form of insult --get back to me.

[lwcon]

63. It happens to me all the time

My ethnicity, religious affiliation, politics, etc. are constantly made fun of.

But I think humor is a vital part of a sophisticated life. If I know the intent of a joke is to poke fun of bad guys (or bad gals), I'm not quick to be offended, even if the subject matter does get close to home. And if the joke is coming from what I think is the wrong place, I'll make my disapproval known. But I'm not a fan of censorship.

[maddiejoan]

66. When youre ready to eat at the grownup table.

Let me know.

[lwcon]

67. Thanks, but I'll take a pass

[maddiejoan]

68. yes.

I imagine all the hate and ignorance you eat is quite filling.

[lwcon]

71. You're the one who wants to ban your fellow Dems over humor..

... that targets one of the vilest people on the political scene, and who also takes a civilized discussion and goes ad hominem.

Good thing you're not an ignorant hater.

[lwcon]

64. Here's an approach that I admire

Writer-actor Dennis Hurley, who is a friend of mine, was born with albinism (the non-PC term is "an albino").

He was weirded out when Dan Brown made the assassin in "The Da Vinci Code" an albino -- since one of the hallmarks of albinism is very poor eyesight. Not really good for shooting people from great distances.

From albinism.org:

People with albinism always have problems with vision, and many have low vision. Many are "legally blind," but most use their vision for reading, and do not use braille. Some have vision good enough to drive a car.

Vision problems in albinism result from abnormal development of the retina and abnormal patterns of nerve connections between the eye and the brain. It is the presence of these eye problems that defines the diagnosis of albinism.

Instead of waging a protest, he's making a funny movie parody: http://albinocode.com

I'm sure he'll educate a lot more people this way about the realities of albinism, and he'll provide a positive image of talented guy with a sense of humor, rather than a defensive one.

Any of us who is not a "perfect" Barbie or Ken doll has a cross to bear about being different.

I gather that you've been through the mill with people who make you feel disenfranchised and mocked. There are intolerant people out there, and that sucks. But I do think we can make a better life for ourselves by trusting that not everybody who might be tempted to find humor in our differences is a hater.

I don't walk in your shoes, and you don't walk in mine, so that's just my two cents. If that doesn't work for you, fair enough.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

[0007]

28. They should ask Ann if she knows Doctor Biber in Trinidad Colorado

[maddiejoan]

33. Well I do.

And your post is an example of what I'm talking about. Totally transphobic and off-base.
Does it make you happy to insult transsexuals?

[0007]

35. Asking a question is an insult?

[maddiejoan]

38. Your question is.

Considering Dr. Biber is an SRS surgeon, the implication is obvious.

Do you fail to take me seriously because *I'm* transgendered? Could I count on your belittling my opinions based on the fact that you would scan my body for hints of mannish attributes?

[0007]

40. Go soak it baby! I'm not buying into you're stupid bait.

Hasta la vista sweetheart.

[maddiejoan]

41. Then live in ignorance.

I couldn't care less.

[ruggerson]

51. Have you been to W's new musuem/childhood home yet?

n/t

[Duncan Grant]

42. Question or Snark? It's hard to tell.

It hits me as snark.

[dajoki]

44. she's an alien, I think illegal too

[IndianaGreen]

54. Yes, Coulter is not human and she is from a reptilian alien species

Has she ever shown her tongue in public? Perhaps she doesn't want people to see that it is a forked tongue.

[judaspriestess]

45. I caught a glimpse of her on Faux

news last night, just for a quick minute to hear what she was saying. make the illegals build the wall at the border kinda shit, Anywhoo, she(it) is getting creepier looking. There is definately something wrong there I think its called cyclops eye

[Neil Lisst]

46. why not talk about things about her that matter and are annoying?

To me, this is like going apeshit because some Republican is gay. It's ok to mention it to point out his hypocrisy, but even then, one should not engage in hate speech directed at gays.

Either she's transgendered or not, and while interesting, not really the sort of thing I would attack her about. She's a bitch on wheels, which is sufficient reason to hate her sorry, hardened conservative heart.

I don't want to have sex with her no matter what her genitals are now or were previously, consequently, I don't really care what she's packing.

[Disturbed]

55. Coulter makes millions with her vitrol.

I think that it is an act that has been crafted to garner fame and fortune.
Yeah, I am also convinced that anorexia is a disease that she has.

[Neil Lisst]

56. and those are good reasons to hate her

[Beacho]

59. Oh Noesss11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might be accused of being aner-phobic or something

Anorexics are people too, ya know!

[gizmo1979]

61. With that adams apple

there is no fucking way that is a she!I'll bet the farm on that.Impossible!

[maddiejoan]

69. You lose the farm then.

I guess you think the childhood photos of Coulter were photoshopped.

[gizmo1979]

70. What are you talking about?

Adams apple is an adams apple.

[maddiejoan]

72. It's not an Adam't Apple.

It doesn't even look like an Adam't Apple. Shes just so damned skinny you see her larynx.

[ZombieGak]

65. s/he.......or..........

s/he or s/he/it?

;-)

[xxqqqzme]

73. that's not on CA voter registration forms...

they don't even ask your entire SS# in CA.
