Every human being starts out as a female in utero, did you know that?

I really do believe that races, genders, societal status, and all the other confusing categories of being a human being are just meant to divide us.

“Everyone comes from a common genetic and developmental framework that is tweaked by sex hormones.”

We all start as just an embryo. We do have a set of male or female sex chromosomes, but those don't activate until your hormones enter the picture. Without hormones like testosterone, you would stay on the path to womanhood. Believe it or not, your body already started developing by the time this decision was made. This means your lady parts were already starting to form.

The Evidence

Nipples

Nipples are simply just chesticle ornaments for men, but with the right hormones we too would be capable of dripping milk. Nipples are formed during initial stages of embryotic development. Without production of prolactin and oxytocin hormones, men don’t lactate.

Penis

Hormones such as Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are produced by males. This causes the internal and external genitalia to develop differently than in females. Due to DHT, the genital bud grows into the penis, but without this hormone, it would become the female clitoris. Meanwhile, MIS keeps the Müllerian ducts from progressing any further in men, keeping you from developing the female internal reproductive tract.

Scrotal Seam

Also known as the raphe line. Without this seam, you’d have a vagina. During embryotic development, everyone has an opening at their genitals. Without male hormones, the opening remains and contributes to the development of the labia and vagina. When male hormones enter the picture, though, the tissue is fused together, leaving a scar that runs from your anus, over your scrotum and up the penis.
