The Caitlyn Jenner question you didn't know the answer to

NY Post - It’s a woman’s prerogative, and it’s not too late for Caitlyn Jenner to change her mind.

Sources say the former Olympic decathlon champion still has her penis, and could revert to being a man, if being Caitlyn doesn’t work out.

For just this reason, most doctors advise gender reassignment patients to wait at least a year after their transitions before undergoing genital reconstruction.

“The new vagina can be made by folding in the scrotum and sometimes using a piece of colon, but it is major surgery,” one plastic surgeon told me.

In the meantime, Caitlyn can use the same trick employed by drag queens. “Since Ms. Jenner has been on hormones for a while, the male genitalia would have shrunken. So a transgender will ‘tuck’ the penis in, allowing for a [lingerie] photo like Annie Leibovitz’s [for Vanity Fair].”

If Caitlyn stops taking female hormones, her package will grow back, said the doc. “Everything Caitlyn has done to date is reversible.”

The change in gender could also change Jenner’s sexual orientation. While the athlete told Diane Sawyer he was always attracted to women, she is now unsure if she is a lesbian, or if she will be attracted to men.

Either way, it’s not a priority, she told Vanity Fair: “If you have a list of 10 reasons to transition, sex would be number 10.”

Is there really anyone naive enough out there who actually believes a magazine cover shot wasn't seriously 'photo-shopped'?
Maybe the same folks that believe those centerfolds of most lads misspent youth were real, too?
Makeup, lighting, and computers work wonders.
ask anyone with any experience in the real world of Show-Biz.
The transformation from haggard rehearsal face to show time can be startling, even for seasoned, experienced pros.
Illusion.
Misdirection.
Fantasy.
Everything except, perhaps, reality.
That's what show business is about.
One truly hopes Jenner has found some sort of peace, but, on the other hand...
