Transgender singer duets with himself

Move over, transgender pregnant man. There's a new transgender shaking up the headlines.

Today in wacky gender-bender news, hip hop singer and dancer Joshua Klipp has released an EP which features the song "Little Girl." According to a press release, this song marks the first time in music history that a transman recorded a song alongside his former female voice. 

And you thought the Natalie Cole post mortem duet with her dad was out there.

The album was released in late 2006, but is starting to receive more attention as Klipp becomes more popular (he's been featured on numerous national TV shows, including The Tyra Banks Show).

Crazy duet aspect aside, the song is doing well, making it to No. 2 on Sirius's OutQ's Top 20 for more than three months.
