PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Former Silverton Mayor Stu Rasmussen, who was the nation’s first openly transgender mayor, passed away around 11 a.m. Wednesday from metastatic prostate cancer after spending several weeks in home hospice.
I’m sorry but...BWAHAHAHA!
sorry you lost your friend... guess he just wanted to do himself.
Or she died of Skene’s gland cancer, aka, female prostate cancer.
Now I feel sad that I posted a gratuitous meme in the thread :-/
To point out a very obscure medical point, women do have a vestigial prostate. It's akin to males having vestigial breasts... You could win bets at the bar in the doctors lounge with this useless bit of medical trivia. (I'm just kidding there is no bar in the doctor's lounge..it has always been BYOB by tradition)
Here's a blurb from a paper..
------------ While considered in-depth herein, any doubters of the existence of the female prostate, will learn that it possesses all the components, i.e., glands, ducts, smooth musculature, characterizing the male prostate, including the cellular, enzymatic and other factors necessary for its exocrine and endocrine function.
While discussing the existence of the female prostate and aspects of the foregoing, including the presence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as an explanation for PSA in the serum of females, some 10+ years ago with the eminent urologist Willard E. Goodwin (UCLA School of Medicine
Wait… if “he” is a transgender then he was a she… so either he was originally a he and the paper is deadnaming him (a form of hate speech in Canada) or somehow transgender surgery now includes the insertion of prostates.
Martha get me the eye bleach stat!
Claiming its “female prostate cancer” is just wrong - it’s NOT and claiming it’s otherwise is stupid and is just going to get more people killed
Irony!!!
God has a sense of humor I sometimes have some grasp of.
Which begs the question, once Rasmussen began identifying as a woman were PSA tests still run on annual physicals?
Obamacare recommended against them.
But good urology docs (like mine) continued to use the test.
The article refers to the passed away person as “he”, which makes sense in the light of his illness. At the same time he is called a first open transgender mayor. To the article author: you are not some enough…
Surprised that the scumedia didn’t replace prostate with uterine cancer
So basically, Stu was a man who got a set of tits and sometimes called himself "Carla."
LOL!!!
Men can get pregnant and women can die of prostate cancer. What a nation we’ve become.
Doctor: “Ma’am, you have prostate cancer.”
Nation’s first transgender mayor from Silverton passes awayWait -- just how many transgender mayors has Silverton had? Must be a remarkable place.
