TIL there is a homologous structure to a prostate!

thought this was a cute and informative comic, surprised I hadn’t seen it before

    For fuck’s sake, could you please, in a trans community of all things, avoid cisnormative terms?? Some women (and probably the majority of the one browsing here) have an actual prostate, so when you say “women” here, you really mean “dyadic cis women or AFAB people”.
    Words matters, and “women” and “dyadic cis women” are not the exact same group!

      “For fuck’s sake” is a bit harsh, don’t you think? Especially considering that dandelion is someone who’s repeatedly posted very thoughtful and interesting posts in this community for months. I agree with what you’re saying and think an edit to the post would be sensible, but let’s be nice?

        Yes it’s a bit harsh. However, it’s not like I insulted her or something like that. It’s an expression of frustration or anger. And don’t you think such emotion would be justified in such a context? Don’t you think tone-policing minorities angry before injustice is inconsiderate?
