More than two-thirds of trans "women" who tuck their junk experience at least some form of discomfort, according to a first-of-its-kind study out of the University of Virginia.
Ya don't say!!!
We needed a formal study to tell us that men trying to squish their genitals between their legs is painful!
Well, for most men!
Since you stepped into this clown article, let's get to this study that literally every man from the dawn of time could have told you:
Seventy-nine percent of respondents reported tucking, with 35% daily, 17% a couple of days per week, 13% a couple of days per month or every few months, and 14% a couple of days per year …
Fifty-one respondents (65%) experienced at least 1 side effect from tucking (Figure 1), with gonad pain reported most frequently (32%). Seven respondents (10%) sought medical care for their side effects. Risk of side effects increased with cumulative daily duration of tucking.
Side effects included pain in the gonads, genital pain, itching, rash, urinary tract infection, twisting of the gonads, skin infection, and straight-up infertility.
Here's Figure 1:
This is what concerns me most about the study:
Despite many participants experiencing side effects and some viewing any associated pain as a "necessary evil," few had ever discussed tucking with their clinician(s). Participants cited prior traumatic medical interactions, dysphoria regarding discussing their anatomy, and concern for a potentially invasive exam as reasons for reticence.
They know the doctor's going to tell them how unhealthy tucking is.
They're also afraid the doctor might use "triggering" language such as penis or testicles to describe the body parts that they have.
(But I'm told there's no mental illness at play here.)
While 70% of respondents felt they would be comfortable or very comfortable discussing tucking with their health care provider, only 23% reported having discussed tucking.
Remember, they want to push this stuff on kids.
The study authors noted that this was a small sample size from only one health care system, which has some critics blasting it (The Daily Mail even deleted its article on the study).
But if anyone needs any proof of, well, reality, all they need to do is go watch an episode of America's Funniest Videos and see how every man reacts to getting whacked in the family jewels.
