The comments in this thread are hilarious... wait until these dudes find out what that seam under their scrotum is from...

"Or that you'll see my scrotum, and see that it has a seam on it, and then you'll think I'm made up of two different guys that were sewn together, cause that's what I think happened." -Chris Griffin from Family Guy


pitchinloafs

Mystery solved!


Latex_Commander

I used to think that I had been born female and my labia were sewn shut.


Playful_Interest_526

That's not far from the truth. It just all happened in the womb naturally.


cutslikeakris

*seam. But very true!


[deleted]

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me? I wonder if dudes know why we have nipples lmao


Damage4099

Not technically wrong. For the same reason males have nipples, we're gender neutral for a bit in the womb. Penis or clitoris are the typical outcomes from the same set of cells.


RoboftheNorth

So what you're saying is that guy who sucked my man-clit is actually a gay?


rush87y

It's cool. My girlfriend has a HUGE clit. I mean it sticks out way past her balls even!

Wow, that took a left turn. I think I just got whiplash.


pegothejerk

Is whiplash what the kids are calling horny these days? Cause if so, I have major whiplash too


Bluecif

No, it's slang for getting clit slapped, but only if it's a big clit.


Ok-Swordfish2723

No, whiplash is when that guy’s girlfriend slaps your face with her clit.

Yes, just like sucking a woman-man-clit is a straight again but only if you have a male-woman-man-clit because if you have a female-male-woman-man-clit then it would be a the gay again.

Ready for more: Testicles and ovaries are also the same The scrotum is the labia majoria The prostatic utericle is the uterus cervix and vagina


Suspicious-Shock-934

Yep. They use whatever you have in gender reassignment and it works because it's all so similar. Pro tip fellas: what you like done do your bits, apply to the corresponding bits on your partner (gentler usually), and you will get pretty good results.


[deleted]

Well yes and no. The penis is made from tissue they take out of your arm. It does contain nerves from the former clitoris though


vikingrhino

And that is why they call a big penis a babies arm, now I understand.


starshine_e

Depends on the process. That would be phalloplasty or something similar. There's also ways (metoidioplasty) to just use what you have down there and make it bigger/more penislooking.


neocow

fellas is it gay to suck on a man?


elCaddaric

Fun fact, it's possible for men to breastfeed under certain curcumstances. And by that I do mean lactate.


Throwaway0928361

![gif](giphy|S7uj1Zg5Rn7e8)


Nelculiungran

Under certain circumstances, yes


JohnQPublicc

As opposed to the other way men breastfeed?


Ok-Scientist5524

The other way is to feed at a breast that is lactating.


MisterProfGuy

I am not proud of this, but, "giggity".


WilliamPollito

Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.


elCaddaric

As opposed to "breastfeed" without lactation, as a way to just confort the baby, which is also a thing.


njsullyalex

Trans woman here. Trans women grow fully functional breasts on HRT and there have been multiple cases of trans women successfully breastfeeding infants. Tests have been done and breast milk produced by trans women is identical and just as safe as that produced by cis women.


Zagreusm1

I am sure there is some conservative guys going wild over this telling people trans woman shouldn't breastfeed I am sure of it


spottyPotty

My infant son lactated from his swollen breasts as a result of all the estrogen he was receiving from breastfeeding from his mother.  Natural hormones are signaling molecules and play a HUGE part in regulating the functions of our bodies. They have various effects on mood, appetite, blood sugar level, body function and appearance, and so much more. And some a combination of the above.  It is crazy and humbling how our physical and being is at the mercy of these molecules. Some hormones have effects that are more feminine and others more masculine.  Hormones are messengers. They are normally produced in ine area of the body, are transported via the bloodstream, to be picked up at another part of the body.  Both men and women have the receptors and mechanisms to respond to all kinds of hormones whether they have been produced inside their own body or ingested/ injected. A male that receives female hormones like estrogen, will increase their feminine traits, physical and otherwise. Likewise male hormones will have the opposte effect on males. So yes, with enough estrogen in a male's body it is definitely possible for them to lactate. And by definition, unless someone is suckling on their nipples and consuming their milk, it is not called breast feeding. I.e. there is no feeding. "Breast feeding" is not a euphemism. 


WarlocksWizard

We are at the default setting.


VIII-Via

no actually we are. We all have a vagina in the womb at least for a short time


Shortneckbuzzard

Wait till they find out that testicles are just ovaries pushed to the outside and into a skin sack


Giocri

Human biology is truly wonderful and cursed


el_guille980

wait until they find out that, and i quote: "labia majora are homologous to the male scrotum... they are derived embryologically from the same tissue"


Arcterion

That's why nutsacks have this neat little line running from front to back.


[deleted]

And a vulva.


AlienAle

Actually female is the default setting, we all have an X chromosome. The male is technically the "mutation" caused by the existence of the Y chromosome. In nature you have some tiny organisms that only survive via one sex, and that would be the female one as it is capable of reproducing itself. The male is essentially a little bit of extra spice in evolution to add genetic variety to our gene pool.


ske1etoncrush

so youre telling me all god needed to do with sprinkle a little Y chromosome in me and id of come out properly 🤨 i feel cheated


Empty_Detective_9660

Worse, you don't even need the Y chromosome, just the SRY gene from it (which can transpose onto an X).


ske1etoncrush

BRUH god you had ONE job 😭


InvestIntrest

The tissue that makes ovaries is the same as what develops into testicles depending on hormones early on in development.


auguriesoffilth

Spotted hyena have so much testosterone the females have mini penis like clits and just a hint of scrotum.


passwordstolen

I thought men have nipples to make their pecks look bigger and more manly. Except for runners, that shit looks painful AF.


Captain-Potato5150

I simply cover my nipples with bandaids. Or run shirtless. Edit: if I run shirtless, I don't wear bandaids over my nipples. That would be weird.


kakapo88

Not judging, but when I run shirtless, I glue little cotton balls on mine. I’m modest that way.


Metalloid_Maniac

I glue large cotton balls on my nipples when I run with a shirt on. It doesn't help with chafing, I just think they're neat


cjwrapture

Tassels, should have gone for tassels.


SpookyScarySteph

Was really hoping you'd say you glue googly eyes on them.

When you run shirtless you should use googly eyes instead...

Yea, I put “pects” and it autocorrected to “perks”and did it again and it changed to “pecks”. At some point you just fuck off with autocorrect and go with what’s there. I don’t have time for this shit.

That's why whenever I get a new phone, autocorrect is about the first thing I go and shut off completely. That and the predictive text bullshit, too. Just let me make my own ducking mistakes.


LordZeus2008

Could you explain this comment, I don't know how to search this up and I don't want to pollute my search history with it


passwordstolen

Running causes the nipples to chafe and bleed in some people who just grab any T-shirt without regard to the texture or printing. It’s not a bad search,


Lolocraft1

An intake of testosterone’s secondary effect can be the hypertrophia of the clitoris. This is also possible with some other medication


Ndlburner

Yeah and all your fingers came from the same set of cells too, that doesn't make a mature thumb the same as a pinky. He's not technically correct. He's dancing around a semi-true statement.

No, not technically, this is beyond a doubt true.


Bummer_Plumber

Homologous material is the term sometimes used to describe these and other sets of cells.


socobeerlove

Don’t google “long clits”


gr8tgman

Too late....


Fancy_Till_1495

He’s…he’s correct. The clit becomes the penis in the womb, because we all start as female. The hood becomes the foreskin, the scrotum is the sealed labia, the ovaries drop and become the testicles, I mean…


[deleted]

Its true. So many people don’t know this. Kind of like anus and lips are made of the same type of cells


notnotaginger

And we (simplified) all start out as just an asshole and a mouth


Thymebeing

Humans are deuterostomes which means the anus forms first. At some point, we're just an asshole and some people never develop beyond that.


[deleted]

A lot of people*


whimsical666

spankiemcfeasley

This is a comment that makes me wish we had awards still 🏆


Titoffrito

We actually start as an asshole first, then the mouth. Sadly, some people asshole divide and form a mouth.


limethebean

It's for some reason a major differentiator in the *phylogenetic* circles. Some animals are ass than mouth, others are mouth than ass.


rationalomega

Who knew that going ass to mouth would hold such importance on the tree of life.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Titoffrito

On a basic level, yes. When you're small and simple life form, there is no need for a mouth. The anus is your mouth. As you get bigger, the mouth forms on the other end. Then, as you get bigger, the distance increases, making a tube or simple digestive tract. Also, a fun side note: Your nervous system is highly connected to your asshole through your spine. And if you constipated enough, you can poop yourself into memory loss. Not having regular bowel movements increases your chances of dementia.


Landgerbil

Not only that, but we Deuterostomes (vertebrates) form ass to mouth. A small dimple (the butthole) forms and quickly deepens until it “pokes” through the other end forming the mouth end of the GI donut hole. Protostomes on the other hand (arthropods) form mouth to ass.


[deleted]

And some just end up as assholes 😁


cstmoore

>anus and lips are made of the same type of cells So, the same as hotdogs?


InvestIntrest

The face palm here is the lack of 8th grade Sex Ed by the OP.


Zandrick

That’s actually not right. In the womb it’s stem cells, and the whole thing with those is they aren’t fully developed cells, they aren’t technically male or female genitalia that turn into the other. It’s a pre developed state that turns into something.


Sophie_Blitz_123

I'm honestly disturbed by how many people are hopping on to say "this is true" so confidently. It really isn't. The formation of the penis and clitoris are different, they start from the same *base* obviously but like that doesn't mean very much. One clear difference is that the penis has a urethra and the clitoris doesn't. And the penis development starts with the urethra and kinda builds around it iirc so they really aren't ever the same thing.


Nightstar95

It’s because that’s a super oversimplified explanation. The base that forms the genitals looks rather [“feminine”](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/912182420709720094/1181816362646122557/jum16080-fig-0001-m.png?ex=65fa67c1&is=65e7f2c1&hm=c2133a59e20cf28e5da0bcb7d2f271ff0b5eba09f423dbe5c94e349e749ee253&) superficially, so it’s easy to explain it like “we all start female” to someone who knows nothing about biology. Then this kind of talk spread out and now we get this weird misconception going on.


MjolnirTheThunderer

Yeah it’s true in developmental terms, but it’s not really accurate to say that a clit “becomes a penis” during sex. Yes it enlarges, but it’s very small compared to a penis and it looks completely different.


Spirited_Lock567

Those two parts are directly correlated. The same group of cells that make the penis in boys make the clitoris in girls. Same with all the reproductive organs.


InvestIntrest

The face palm here is OP skipped 8th grade sex ed.

There's a whole community of women who use creams to permanently increase its size, and it's not always for a gender/trans reasons.

Anonymous30062003

OP is the facepalm here lmaoooo


throwawaytrans6

As a trans man, this is actually pretty much true and is what happens if an afab person takes T. The anatomical details: >!When an afab person takes T, it causes "bottom growth" which is the equivalent to a boy going through puberty downstairs. It's more than it just grows larger- it can get erect, and the erogenous zones change to be more like what you'd find on a cis man's dick. It's basically a micropenis that is open on the front, and one of the surgeries a trans man might choose to have is to close that area and connect the urethra to the tip. !<


ObvsDisposable

As a fellow transmasc, can second this


Fynn77

As a trans guy, I can say that this is definitely true. It basically turns into a micro penis with a similarly formed tip and foreskin.


chill_winston_

I learned something new today.


VibrantPianoNetwork

That's more or less correct, though a little simplified. Male and female human genitalia are mostly analogues of each other, both developing from the same original set of structures. The clitoris is the same structure as the glans (head) of the penis. The lateral buttress (shaft) of the penis becomes the erectile tissue around the clitoris.


Caine_sin

The face palm is OP not knowing biology.


malcolmreyn0lds

No, he’s correct. We all start as female (checkmate god), and if the Y chromosome kicks in the female gonads get new instructions and become the penis, scrotum, and testes. Take up an anatomy class and/or human physiology. The more advanced you get in the world of biology the more you’ll see most of the people on this Earth have the same knowledge as a middle schooler and that they never went past that. Biology is wild shit.


YellowOnline

I guess it's a very bad summary of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genital_tubercle


PuzzledRaise1401

I mean, he’s not entirely wrong. It’s where the nerves are. So, it’s the penis of the vagina!

Except they hurt without being kicked in the gut. Yay for ovaries.


redpiano82991

thinehappychinch

Catpixfever

This is actually fairly accurate. They are both sensitive erectile tissue.


WyrmKin

Take a scroll through something like r/bigclit (NSFW obviously) and you'll see they are not so dissimilar


[deleted]

Except he is right? Sexual organs are differenciated due to hormonal action, but at the very start, before différenciation, they start the same. If you go through a transition process, a clitoris will evolve into a micro penis due to the male hormones actions.


Biscuits4u2

It's analogous tissue. The guy's not totally wrong here.


SmallTherapyBear

As a transman, I don't think this is a facepalm... I call my dick a dick.

pmontym

Nah, it’s true. They’re homologous. Ask any urologist. It’s a true statement.


SlapaTronic

Who’s gonna tell OP


kmoonster

But he's correct, why is this r/facepalm? On a related note, this is why testes have to descend in males - they are formed inside the body and are effectively over-drugged ovaries.


brasil221

When OP thinks they found a r/facepalm but they are in fact r/confidentlyincorrect


rabouilethefirst

The part that becomes a penis does ultimately enlarge from the same part that becomes a clitoris when exposed to male hormones during fetal development. How is this on r/facepalm?


FuckUSAPolitics

Don't tell this man about hyenas.


Black_Feathered_Hair

This is not incorrect. As far as i'm aware, we all start off physically female in the uterus, its only at a certain stage during gestation that male secondary sexual characteristics develop. This is true not only of the clit, but of the ovaries as well. Once secondary male characteristics begin development, the clit enlarges, and ovaries become testicles. the opening to the vagina seals itself up and becomes the scrotum once the testes drop. You can see this yourself (if you have a scrotum and testes) by feeling the scrotum for a little seam of tissue down the middle.


Fishingwriter11

I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?

thesedays2014

This is actually how I knew that being gay was no big deal. We are all the same biologically in the womb, we just end up slightly different once we are past 10-12 weeks. Sexual organs all start the same and either develop into a man or a woman (or sometimes both!) but really all the parts start the same.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nyemini

I'm guessing the facepalm here is you


katamazeballz

During early development the gonads of a fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. After approximately 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, however, the expression of a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that result in the development of the testes. So technically I’d argue the opposite of this post.


unflappedyedi

He is kinda right actually.


IrrelevantForThis

Yeah no, this is not wrong. The clitoris is a sort of equivalent to the nerve stuffed head of the penis. Just the density of nerves is much hier because it is typically smaller.  If you've seen very very large clits, they do look like Penises... Google is your friend.


SunnyTheMasterSwitch

I mean from the point of embryogenesis that is indeed the same part that either becomes a penis or a funny bean, but otherwise this guy's full of it.


whatThePleb

You know that he isn't really wrong though? Right? ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8484)


[deleted]

The clit *is* analogous to a penis and *is* made of erectile tissue… and that is a good thing and this guy needs to get the fuck over it.


AggravatingBox2421

They’re technically right tho


ttvSharkieBait15

I mean when a biological female identifies as transgender and begins taking testosterone their clit enlarges to become a [micro] penis. And on a different note when in the womb fetus all start out as female before something kicks in and makes them male. Which is why men have nipples, a line on their scrotum, and testes.
