Or else it CLOSES UP

Actual gynecologist. And woman.

[Updating to say sorry, the tweet with the question to which the answer is yes was deleted by the tweeter. It was a pair of images of Dylan Mulvaney parodying girlyhood and the question “Is this a woman?”]

I have to wonder what part of her training as a gynecologist tells her Dylan Mulvaney is a woman.

Not fake? An inverted penis is not a fake vagina? Inverted penises are perfectly functional as vaginas? Really?

Replies (and now quote-tweets) are many, scathing, graphic, enraged, and hilarious.

    What does the good doctor mean by “perfectly functional?” That it can withstand penis friction? Can’t a lot of other things withstand penis friction, including another penis? It’s clear that the good doctor doesn’t know what the function of a vagina is, and that you can’t make one out of any old pound of flesh. That’s a lot of time and tuition shot to hell on an uneducable person if you ask me.

    Dear god, this whole conversation is so horribly awkward.

    Not because of the explicit mention of genitalia, sexual habits etc but the entire concept of selected gender and the obscene business of surgical “gender correction”. Not to mention mental. Including abuse of minors.

    Hasn’t it been 200 years since HC Andersen wrote The Emperor’s New Clothes? Over 75 years since 1984. Why does everything have to be fake, phony and alt-X (or is that alt-Z) ?

    Does nobody on this planet know how to read with comprehension anymore?

    Please everone, slowly step away from the screen.

    So, a vagina is simply a human fleshlight with no other function?

    Wait, gender isn’t a social construct? Or did American Dream mean sex?

    maddog, whether or not “Dylan Mulvaney is a woman”

    The good doctor’s opinion is “a woman is anyone who says they’re a woman”.

    Why ami I reminded of the legendary Oozlum bird.?

    The oozlum bird… is a legendary creature found in Australian and British folk tales and legends. Some versions have it that, when startled, the bird will take off and fly around in ever-decreasing circles until it manages to fly up its own backside, disappearing completely, which adds to its rarity.[ref.] Other sources state that the bird flies backwards so that it can admire its own beautiful tail feathers, or because while it does not know where it is going, it likes to know where it has been.[ref again.]
