It’s well known that Jess Phillips – Toxic Feminist of the Month – worked for Women’s Aid before entering politics. Whilst there she seeming swallowed the long-discredited Duluth model hook, line, and sinker.

Our award-winning research team has just unearthed information – including a Wikipedia profile – showing she was born in 1947, and was a black American football player between 1969-77. Still not convinced? The team unearthed a photograph (below) published by the Dayton Daily News, with the caption:

The Cincinnati Bengals Jess Phillips goes in for a touch down against the Boston Patriots at Nippert Stadium in 1969.

Is this the earliest known example of gender and race reassignment surgery?
