Explanation for those whose high school bio lessons were subpar: every fetus starts out with genitals that appear to be a vagina with a disproportionately large clit. If you've got the SRY gene on one of your chromosomes, the clit becomes your dick and the proto-labia fuse and become your balls. This is why your balls (if you have them) have a vertical seam at their midsection; that’s where your labia fused. So, it's often said that we all start out female.

It's not a huge clit, it's actually small, it's just the fetus hasn't grown into it yet

Good point. I've only seen pics under massive magnification so it always seemed super disproportionate to the rest of the body. Just did a quick edit to reflect this

It was a joke, my good Sir.

But you were also right

Afaik the proto-labia become the scrotum, not the balls. The ovaries become testes in men.

So block SRY gene expression, and humans go extinct, got it.
