Why does it?
you transitioned in the womb
As a kid I just assumed I’d been born intersex and they’d “corrected” it. It was fun learning it wasn’t the case and then later learning that actually I was intersex and no they’d never noticed because I was only barely so and completely unrelated to that
Something like 2% of people are intersex. It's a huuuuge spectrum of intersex that many individuals don't even realize they have.
Holy fuck the YouTube comments are toxic lmao
Bigots are really active in their bigotry unfortunately, they're just more active in popular places (I'm not sure if it's because it's easier to access, which I disagree with or if it's because they want to expose the most number of people to their views)
Yeah people really underestimate how many of us there are.
If it isn't something you mind telling - what does 'barely so' mean in a context like this? Slightly larger clitoris, or just a lot more of both hormones because something something humans grow weird?
Vestigial second urethra. It and the main one were both slightly off location and mislocated urethra is an intersex condition. I’m also probably a chimera given that it’s not my only uncommon spare part.
Cool. Thanks!
That's your perineal raphe. In the womb everyone starts female, and that particular feature either becomes the scrotal/penile raphe (the scrotum seam) or the labia majora.
Because everyone starts off female that's the reason why men nipples to.
Edit: I know what I said
Nipples to where?
It is the reason we nipple yes.
I nipple!
In fact, some, like me, have more than two nipples
Thanks to you, I have fewer than the average number of nipples
Scaramanga, is that you?
It's called the Perineal Raphe. It's the result of the urogenital folds fusing during the development of an embryo.
Cool
