Her comment was altered in the truncated film to seem as though she was identifying herself as a man, hence the misconception resides in her punctuation and timing.
Actually, her comments were a part of a larger discussion about public opinion, gender, and color, not a citation to her personal identity.
She’s literally talking about Marlon… this is purposely taken out of context.

Even community notes on X have come in to clear the false facts. Under the spreading video, the platform clarified: “The caption misrepresents Michelle Obama’s words.”
She is questioning Marlon Wayans, a guest on her program, about his transgender child. An exact transcript would begin a second sentence following “heart.”
That touches my heart warmly. Especially as a Black man, would you kindly share?
