Common among trans women so they can stop taking anti-androgen drugs, and also a procedure included with bottom surgery for MTF. They don’t let you keep the balls in a jar :-(

I laughed harder at this then I should have.

Yeah my girlfriend is weird so I wanted to let her have mine for wet specimen making, but they had to burn them.

But it depends on the surgeon so you can always ask

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

you can always ask

I can only picture the surgeon heaving a deep sigh, flipping his whiteboard around to reveal "asked" and "didn't ask" columns, and putting yet another checkmark on the only side with any checkmarks.

they had to burn them.

They say that, don't they?

Really I think the hassle is just worth less to the surgeon than to the patient so they're incentivized to lie about it.

With how many religions insist adherents keep their parts for later burial (or other reasons) a patient liaison has to have a waiver in a drawer somewhere you can sign (Formalin is toxic) so they can return your bits or they'd have to deal with church funded lawsuits or at minimum bad PR.

Why :⁠(

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because they do a biopsy on them to check for cancer and then they incinerate them

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 9 points 8 months ago

If you claim you have a religious for needing them back (reunification being pretty common, as in, you need them so you can be buried with them) then they will run their tests, and give them back to you if they're not a hazard.

My brother used this to keep his gallbladder, and a friend of a friend kept her foot after diabetes took it. Both examples in Tennessee. I don't know if it matters which state you're in, but I'm positive the country would probably make a difference.

Plus, I think it's funny the idea of some medical person somewhere trying to square their incredibly narrow view of religion with a trans woman being so devout in their own faith as to be concerned about burial practices potentially decades in the future, given the stereotype that everyone LGBTQ+ is an evil atheist.

I still don't get it

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 33 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It's very not funny.

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I mean, it's the best deez nuts joke possible.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

It's the best opportunity for a deez nuts joke. The set up, delivery and punchline of the joke were botched hard.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I like the candies one better

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What candies?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Candies nuts fit in your mouth

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Let's find out sweety.

Crunches on I've cubes

Bottom surgery

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I get it, it's not funny.

Opinions are like assholes: I had mine surgically removed.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was pretty good

"Bofa" sounds like "both of", being a setup to "bofa deez nutz"

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes think about how Bank of America owns bofa.com

So much potential wasted on banking...

[–] androogee@midwest.social 9 points 8 months ago

Maybe you could own bofa.horse

[–] don@lemm.ee 38 points 8 months ago

bo fuh deez…

recreating this comic was the best part of mine

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

You mean the part where you went home and sat on the couch with a nice blankie and played some dark souls? Cuz that sounds like a real nice evening to me.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

BOFA DEEZ NUTS
