    In case anyone was wondering: they’re there in case you change your mind later on and want to transition. God left them there as a backup.

      That was awfully nice of him, but then why does he always he sew up the vagina too? Kind of a dick move.

        He assumed giving good access to the prostate as a pleasure center in the ass was close enough and called it a day

        him

        he

        Ahem… are we assuming something?! Think about it… if God made us in their image, God is a hermaphrodite with a split personality disorder. Thus males and females. This is basic stuff.

          I have a friend who is a vicar, and she tends to use They/Them for God, which I find interesting.

          I also met a few people who use different pronouns for the Holy Trinity. She/Her tends to be either the Holy Spirit or the Father (the Father being She/Her seemed odd to me, but this person felt quite strongly that the Holy Spirit was They/Them, and that Jesus was He/Him).

          They/Them tends to be used for either the Holy Spirit or Jesus (Jesus says “I am He” at one point, and the argument here is that this isn’t Jesus saying his pronouns are He/Him, but rather that “He” refers to the entity who made Jesus — I.e. God).

          He/Him tends to be used for Jesus or the Father.

          Even amongst people who don’t use pronouns other than He/Him for the Christian God or one of God’s aspects, I’ve heard quite a few people argue that He/Him != he/him (and that They/Them != they/them etc.) and thus God uses neopronouns.

            I always tend to use ‘they’ when the gender is unknown. I read it somewhere long ago and thought… wait… why is this plural? And learned it is a gender neutral pronoun. I refer to everyone I don’t know as ‘they’ now. God is more of an ‘it’ in my mind, but that’s beside the point.

        It was a group project between the pantheons of old, Odin thought it was funny and Zeus was being dick. Everyone else was kinda okay with their suggestions though.

    I know someone who this actually happened to! They’re a vet and some woman came in saying her male cat had bugs stuck to him. When told they were nipples this woman literally said the same thing. 🤦‍♂️

    Just wait till he learns that the clitoris is a micro penis and that those folds women have, are the prelude to testicles.

    We are all sexless creatures that could go either way and depending on the sperm, we become man or woman.

      I’d say the penis is an engorged clit. But I guess it’s a perspective thing.

        Probably a better way to look at it - barring specific hormonal triggers the parts that develop into genitals develop female structures by default. It’s why people with CAIS always appear female regardless of genes unless you do some imaging and notice their “ovaries” look off.

      More like depending on the hormons. There are diseases which make someone with XX completely look like a man and vice versa due to hormonal dysfunctions.

    Do male mice have nipples? Why?


    That was my take-home open-book exam from a somewhat eccentric developmental biology professor back when I was in college. I remember that the answer is no (although they still have mammary tissue and can get breast cancer) but not why.

      Apparently male horses also do not have nipples. I learned that just now when I was searching for “male mice nipples”. TIL. I hope no one ever finds my search history.

        Or, or, the male horses with nipples spent too much time poking their own nipples with their penis for sexual stimulation and it means they removed themselves from the gene pool.

        This means male horses selected for less and less prominent nipples until they became completely flat chested.
