Where did we learn this canon fact?
Besides the dual stream confirmation in Discovery, I believe it's in Enterprise that we first learn that Klingons have two of every organ.
And I believe I recall a throw away line of confirmation (of the double organs) in Picard.
I'm honestly surprised if Lower Decks hasn't dealt with the topic yet.
Lower Decks did, in one of the earlier seasons. The episode with the visiting drill instructor Tendi has a test where she has to give a Klingon an honorable death. She fails and her holo-assistants also fail to kill the Klingon because of all the backup organs
Awesome. I figured Lower Decks would be all over this. Their creative team has amazingly strong knowledge of Trek lore.
The two of evey internal organ is accepted, I think we're specifically discussing two penises
The Skin is an organ, not just an organ but the largest organ.
That explains the facial folds.
And also why mother Klingons carry their young by gripping the loose skin on the back of their necks... no wait, I'm confusing Klingons with something else, aren't I?
Not canon, but there was a fan theory that the changes occurred after the tribbles were transported aboard the Klingon ship in TOS.
They retconned the TOS Klingons in Enterprise

TIL
Thanks
plays Toccata in Vitamin D
There's a scene in Disco that heavily implies it, where we see the silhouette of a Klingon drainin' the lizard and there are two distinct streams.
But, hey, maybe they just woke up or something.
Maybe they have just two urethra, rather than two complete sets?
Good ol' snake eyes
They write their name in the snow with a drop shadow? 😱🤌🏼

It's in the title of the post. Canon would be if something would be verified in the Star Trek universe. Which this is, sure, but think about it: it's much more likely to be a comment on the girth and power of Klingon instruments
I think the joke is more about how the Chinook helicopter has two sets of rotors.
