Technically everyone is born with a clitoris; it just gets all stretched out and desensitized for about half the population.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

MODERATORS
I suppose not technically, because to have a dickhead suggests that there's also a dick. Very rarely do you see a dickhead without a dick, and they are usually involved in politics.
Did u even unfurl the spoiler?
Some people find the sensation to be a bit too much when you unfurl the spoiler.
Those organs are comparable, though sex at birth will influence certain factors, eg the position of the urethra in relation to it
I mean no. If you want to be more technical everyone is born with a clitoris.
I had to websearch it, but basically: the immense majority of the people have either a clitoris or a penile glans. There are however some reported medical cases where people have none; NSFW example here. (Discretion advised when clicking the link. It's a serious medical article, but it shows photos of the genital condition in question.)
Those cases are clinically known as "aphallia". Confusingly enough it also applies to the absence of expected female genitalia, not just penises, even if the name means literally "dicklessness".
Side note: commenters going out of their way to misunderstand the question in the OP are making me cringe really hard.
