> (assuming your wife didn’t have prostate cancer) I almost spewed my coffee. At McDonald’s. Thanks for making me get weird looks from other people. XD

  Just a friendly reminder that many trans women and some intersex women do indeed have prostates. So although it’s a safe bet statistically that the commenter was not referring to prostate cancer, it’s not a particularly absurd hypothetical.

    Some trans women have prostates? TIL. I honestly didn't know. But you're right that I completely forgot about the intersex group. In fact, I initially wondered if homosexual couples (of either sex) could refer to their SO as "wife", but then the comments also use "she", so I kinda dismissed the possibility of a biologically male "wife".

      Yes, some trans women have prostates. In 2019, even if you have a penis and balls, you can identify as a woman for the day and be considered 'trans'. I'm glad people are starting to respect pronouns, so I can be called by my proper pronoun: "gigantic cock".

          It's not flaimbait. I'm posting the truth. I'm sorry if the truth hurts and you are offended by my personal pronouns.
