Okay People for those of you who believe that Michael LaVaughn Robinson underwent sex reassignment surgery at John Hopkins Hospital, in 1983, I will read a short clip from an article written in The News-Letter on May 1, 2014. Just so we can debunk the Christwire.org article that said that Michael Lavaughn Robinson was a football player at Oregon State University and after sex change surgery, at John Hopkins Hospital, in 1983, legally changed his name to Michelle Robinson. Maybe this little tidbit will help quell the noise.
