Yoshinori Ono, producer of Street Fighter IV, was interviewed for the latest issue of EGM on their big SF IV blow out issue. Among the many questions Ono was asked, EGM wanted to find out whether Final Fight's Poison is really a girl or a guy:
"Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual," Ono reveals. "But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away in order to look like a girl."
I was all into the SF IV preview in EGM until that bomb shell smacks me in the face. I just found out about the gender confusion from the latest ScrewAttack video (Top 10 hos). I didn't think too much of it though. I just shrugged it off and just wanted to continue on with my fantasies. But now Ono has ruined everyone's dream of Poison.
At least we have some hot cosplayers to make up for this tranny ordeal (who are hopefully naturally born women).

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Feel better now?
Huh, how about that.
OH! SHI-
Spoilers!
Also: still hot!
Anyway....
Thanks for the news, Hamza.
Wait a sec...post-op you say. Technically she is still fappable material then.
Also, if anyone's a tranny in the SF cast, it's Chun-Li.
Trap.
Thank god for Admiral Ackbar.
Yes transsexuals are people too, and yes gender is about much more than what you've got between your legs. But y'know what, people still make jokes based on others sexuality whether they be female, male, gay, straight, bi or in this case trans-gendered. So get over it, and quit being so damn righteous.
