Original Note:
The claim that Michelle Obama was registered to vote as a man from 1994 until 2008 and that she officially changed her sex to female in 2008 is not true. The claim is baseless and has been debunked by multiple fact-checking organizations. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2022/07/fact-check-michelle-obama-did-not-register-to-vote-as-a-man.html https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33KL9AZ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/28/facebook-posts/michelle-obama-was-never-man/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/may/28/instagram-posts/image-michelle-obama-absolutely-altered/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/news-punch/
