How ironic…

Doctors who fail to recommend prostate exams to their female patients can be brought up on a charge of medical malpractice.

should have sent it to a psychiatrist instead . . .

Your average psychiatrist is more loony than your craziest doctor.

I thought this was so rare in women that it is practically non-existant. I guess he really was a man and no matter what he did he could not fool natural biology into believing otherwise.

So identifying as female didn’t keep it from getting prostate cancer? Hmmm, cancer must be transphobic.

According to Wikipedia he was assigned male at birth, identified as a man, preferred masculine pronouns, had breast implants and a female gender expression. He also sometimes went by the name Carla Fong. Sometimes you can’t tell the players even with a scorecard.

I shouldn’t chuckle. But I did.

Can't fool mother nature.

Guys, Stu was a friend of mine. Was he weird? YES. But he was also VERY intelligent. He owned/ran the local movie theater, and we worked on some high tech projects together at a former employer. “Modern day trans” people would have hated him, as he didn’t talk about it all the time. He didn’t want to convert anyone, etc. He was just being himself.

“The happiest day of my life was the day I stopped giving a fuck about what people thought of me” he told me one day.

So, crack jokes if you must, but just know that Stu/Carla was a good person.

This silliness would end if (biological) men had to get a pap smear.

Tickling the prostate on a daily basis can cost you

[lefty-lie-spy]

Women have prostates now?! Put that exam on every woman’s check list.

Transgender woman dies of prostate cancer - God has the best sense of humor.
