she was so real for this

[Transcription start:

Anderson Cooper: “That rumor- were that you had a male appendage. That you were a hermaphrodite. And you joked about it on the stage last night.”
Lady Gaga: “Maybe I do.”
Cooper, laughing: “But it- but it’s interesting-”
Lady Gaga: “Would it be so terrible?”
Cooper: “But it’s interesting, a lot of artists would immediately put out some sort of a statement saying that this is absolutely not true. You have fun with it.”
Lady Gaga: “Why the hell am I gonna waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a penis? My fans don’t care and neither do I.”
