In my opinion, the both of them were, and are, doing much more than just merely speculating/assuming what may have happened to Michael when he was a young child and during his teen years; They are LYING and slandering a man who is not here to defend himself.
The “taking hormones”/“taking Cyproterone” story very well coincides with the ancient, old-as-dirt rumors and speculation that he was any- and everything else BUT the sort of person he and his family knew he was.
He has said, himself —— going as far back as the Mid- to Late-1970’s, towards the end of his teens and on the brink of his young adulthood —— that he was NEVER “that way”* at all (in reference to *what is now designated as “L.G.B.T.Q.+,” more specifically, in his case, the “G.” and the “T.” in such a designation, from what he recalled some people had wrongly assumed he was, partly because of the natural sound of his voice, and not being known for his having the same behavior with women other than his wife that his father, Joseph, had; Nor was it like what his brothers had been well-known for, prior to their having married their wives, as if THAT were any of the media’s and the public’s business to have meddled in, in the first place) and didn’t want to be “linked with [a] part” that potentially would have fueled even more speculation about his actual lifestyle, and he didn’t want anyone thinking he was something he really wasn’t, because, he once said there is “a reason” that men were created Male and women were created Female.
Michael had always thought of himself as what he genetically, physically, and biologically was; He was unquestionably an adult MALE, through and through, even though not in the stereotypical sense of how most people traditionally view “adulthood” and “manliness”/“masculinity.” He had clearly grown up and matured into adulthood as well, and took on adult responsibilities.
Yet, he felt closer to young children (having identified much more so with them, regardless of the children’s biological birth-gender, race, cultural background, language, where they lived, or anything else “different” about each one of them), than he was to most other adults. Many of Michael’s closest friends have said of him, that he was a “child-at-heart,” basically.
Also, to me, in my personal opinion, his voice didn’t sound as much exclusively “feminine” or even “masculine,” per sé —— NOT specifically like either one gender or the other —— as it sounded extremely “young” for his age* (*whatever his age so happened to have been, from his later-teen years to age 50). There were some aspects of Michael that never neatly fit into these old stereotypes, not simply just not fitting into them (naturally), but he DEFIED them. However, unlike what most people think, it wasn’t something that he “chose” to do, nor was this a deliberate “act” of such defiance, on his part.
His voice was absolutely REAL, as was his adult body-size. The surgeries done on his nose and the enhancement of his chin were HIS personal and private business alone, no one else’s. He also suffered from two separate, potentially-disfiguring autoimmune disorders at the same time (Lupus and Vitiligo, while he dealt with severe injuries to his scalp as well), was teased about the size and shape of his nose by his father and brothers, and had to publicly grow up from a “cute” little ten-year-old to an adult man in front of millions/billions of people on a worldwide scale, while going through the effects of puberty/adolescence, including a severe case of teenage acne. He was extremely shy, wanted to look more “normal,” to have continued on with his career, and wanted to have been left alone.
He got married, because, he wanted to become a father and raise his own family. THIS, in spite of even worse things done to him in 1993, long after the enormous success of “Thriller,” than anything ever done to him before, up to that point. False assumptions made regarding his lifestyle became criminal charges brought against him —— by greedy parents trying to extort money from him by getting their children to make up stories that he sexually molested them, not just in 1993, but with a different family and similar allegations in 2003 —— for crimes he NEVER committed at any time during his life.
Since he was a teenager, Michael Jackson wanted to fuel speculation about his sexuality and his lifestyle.
It was a decision that he intentionally took at that time and that decision was just a part of his overall philosophy about never stopping to gain public’s attention.
I will you two examples:
His long-time personal photographer Harrison Funk also stated that Michael Jackson, since he was in his late teens, liked to be fluid around gender and that he had no interest in assigning a gender to anybody.
Harrison Funk also stated that Michael Jackson was obsessed with creating an androgynous image, since he was in his late teens, which in turn would create the mystery that he so much wanted about his sexuality.
They both met at Manhattan’s Studio 54 nightclub in the late ‘70s and they started to work together for many years.
Also, in early ‘80s, Michael Jackson wrote, produced and even provided some background vocals on Diana Ross’ ‘Muscles’ song (from her 'Silk Electric' album).
He apparently wanted with that song to fuel even more speculation about his sexuality and he eventually achieved that because many people (judging by the song’s lyrics and its music video) started to speculate even more about his sexuality.
About his high, feminine-sounding voice throughout his adult life, it was not absolutely real due to several reasons that I have already mentioned here (personally I believe that this had to do also with certain female hormones that he took in his puberty).
His vocal coach Seth Riggs also told him that he had to speak in a high pitch voice in order to have a high range (meaning, he was a faking a high, speaking voice for that specific purpose of keeping a high range).
This was confirmed also by Teddy Riley who now advices the Canadian singer Justin Bieber to do the exact same thing (to speak in a high pitch voice in order to maintain a high, bubblegum range in his adult life as a singer) because that trick had already worked in Michael Jackson’s case.
