And some of us know from personal contact that she, and I said SHE, was not a transsexual. There are ways of telling, and if you'd ask anybody that got inside her, they'd tell you the same. On the other hand, dontcha think she got a little tired of hearing that shit from 5'8" guys she had to look down to? And that's in flats - I preferred her in 3" heels, myself.
And Chanel wasn't a tranny, either, no matter what side of the camera you were on. Height and voice aren't the determinants. A few of us out here can testify for sure that she was an OEM female. No matter how good the surgeon, there are ways to tell - if you can. She was real.
I was and am convinced that Chanel was a post-op tranny. First, her appearance on camera was glammed up but off camera she looked like a guy. Big hands, bigger feet, an angular jaw that resembled a football player, and a voice so deep that she did voice-over work as a man (man's voice).
Second, Silvera swore that he had seen Chanel under the stage name of Torchy during the late 70s in gay bars (Silvera has always had a thing for trannies), dancing as a man. And John Leslie, who had an affinity (as a painter) for analyzing faces, thought Chanel was a post op.
Third, her post-mortem is said to have confirmed that she had had a sex change - according to Luke Ford.
I can say that from behind the camera she appeared to be almost certainly a man. During the filming of TDIJ-3, Paul Thomas had made some remark about her missing cock and she flicked one of her heels with such force that it flew past Paul's head and through a doorwall window, shattering it at a distance of about 30 feet. I don't know many guys who could do that, let alone any women.
In the end, something bothered her enough to OD in a home that she had trashed from floor to ceiling with such force that police intially were looking for multiple suspects.
