Yasmin Ahmad was a MAN?

Yes, that is the shocking "truth" about the late Yasmin Ahmad. When I found out two days ago, I was in utter disbelief. According to a report by a local entertainment magazine, Yasmin Ahmad used to be a singer and Malacca football striker by the name of Zulkifli Ahmad back in the 70's.

Then... and Now...

Apparently, Yasmin Ahmad was born a haemaphrodite. For those unfamiliar with this term, a haemaphrodite, is described as a person born with both the male and female reproductive organs. Usually, at a certain age, a haemaphrodite will CHOOSE a preferred sex/gender and a surgery can be performed to remove the sex organ of choice.

Then again, to what extent are these allegations thrown agaisnt the late Yasmin Ahmad true? I guess they will remain as baseless allegations unless there is evidence.

Personally, I do not like to talk of the dead. Let the dead rest in peace. Whatever Yasmin's gender was isn't our concern. I say we judge less, and love more!

Lets remember her for what she has done, and for how much she has contributed to our society, not for what her gender or sexuality was. =)

May she rest in peace.

Lotsa Love,

Joel.
