That's... not necessarily true. You see....
By U.S. rules, she's a post op transexual (no dong), but you go by japanese rules, she's still a trap. Most people go by the japanese ruling. Personally I'm like

Whatever
Actually, from what I can tell, Ono was basically calling Poison a futa.
He referred to her using solely female pronouns, but mentioned her having a cock. Also, no surgery can make a man's body that perfectly feminine. Therefore, it can be assumed that he's calling Poison a futa.

Utterly irrelevant when you're dealing with gender-confusion issues. Besides that, both sides ("tucks her business away to look female" vs. "post-op tranny") imply being male at birth. Follow that with how the Japanese side of things refer to Poison as a "newhalf" (which is specifically male-to-female transsexuals) and it's pretty obvious what's actually going on.
I'll agree about the looking feminine thing, but do keep in mind that this is a video game series, where androids, men with limbs that extend their length by triple, mutant beastmen who emit electricity from their skins, et al., are real. In such a setting, M→F sex change surgery may indeed be that convincing.

Yes, and? Point is, it's a tidbit that's been made official canon.
I just wish Capcom would make up their damn minds. One minute they say Poison's a man with tits, the next she's a post-op tranny, the next she's a full female...
Actually, since they don't need to censor her by turning her male anymore like they needed to back when Final Fight was first made, they should just go ahead and retcon Poison into a female. They're willing to retcon every other damn thing in the Street Fighter/Final Fight universe, so why not this so they can put an end to the endless "lol trap" comments, viewer gender confusion, and complaining from moral guardians who think gays are the devil {you just know it's happened}?

Oh well, I see nothing wrong with her. I don't really care about her gender or the things she has "down there". She's Poison. And I like her.
Obviously she prefer to express her feminity and I have to say: She's very successful at it.
