The Hermaphrodite: John Mark Karr or Alexis Reich



The Inside Edition has reported that John Mark Karr known for admitting that he killed JonBenét Ramsey has fully transitioned into a female.

According to their website:

The notorious John Mark Karr is undergoing a big transformation! Here's what he looks like now, after a sex change.

INSIDE EDITION has obtained the first photo of Karr as a woman. It's on his Facebook page. He's also legally changed his name to Alexis Reich.

And check this out...he lists Alexis's birthday as January 1st, 1980. That would make Karr just 30 years old. But he's actually 45. It's a strange new turn for the man who became infamous after falsely confessing to killing JonBenét Ramsey.

Karr apparently started changing his sexual identity in 2006, taking female hormones. For a time, he put the sex change process on hold and got engaged to Brook Simmons.

When INSIDE EDITION interviewed the couple three years ago, we asked about Karr's intention to get a sex change operation.

INSIDE EDITION asked, "There were reports that you were taking hormones to prepare for a sex change. Is that true?"

"Yeah, it was true at the time," said Karr.

INSIDE EDITION asked Simmons, "Do you have any comments about that?"

"Yes, I disagree with that. The sex change. I do. I'm not gonna lie. I disagree with it," said Simmons.

No surprise, the relationship didn't last, and Karr went ahead with his plans to become a woman. Today, he looks a lot like his former fiancé, with long brown hair and delicate features.

So where is he now? Court documents obtained by INSIDE EDITION show that he's living in Seattle. When we went there to check out the address, it turned out to be just a mail drop. It's believed Karr is out of the country today. Possibly back in Thailand where he first was arrested, living a new life, as a woman.has transitioned into a female name Alexis Reich.

The Hermaphrodite: Reggie Ramirez?



The internet is at a buzz over this one:

According to reports:

A Filipino singer who sings both the male and female parts of songs like "Endless Love" is causing endless speculation on whether he is a he, a she or a combination of both.

Reggie Ramirez, 34, a singer from Davao City, Philippines, has become a Susan Boyle-like Internet sensation after performing a startling duet of "Endless Love" on the show "Pilipinas Got Talent."

Ramirez, who says he went on the show to find his long-lost brother, performs as half-man and half-female, complete with a pink dress on the left side of his body and a tuxedo on the right.

Adding to the effect is the fact that Ramirez has a beard on the "male" half of his body, although it looks augmented.

Ramirez's looks -- and vocal range -- are startling enough that folks who see the video are wondering if the singer really does possess equal parts of both genders.

Caster Semenya:



...has announced that she (or he) will return to the arena of Athletic competitions.

According to reports:


South African Caster Semenya will return to competitive athletics on June 24 in a meeting in Zaragoza, Spain.

The 19-year-old, who stormed to victory in the women's 800 meters at the world championships last year, has not competed since claiming gold in Berlin, after which questions were raised about her gender.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) asked Semenya to undertake a gender test but, despite the results of that test expected to be released last November, the IAAF announced last month that the case had still not been concluded.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Semenya said: "Together with my coach and agent, I have decided that I will return to competitive athletics at the EAA meeting to be held on June 24 in Zaragoza, Spain.

"I reiterate that, based on medical and legal advice, I am firmly of the view there are no impediments to me racing in female athletics competitions
