YouTube Star Cassandra Bankson Went In For A Doctor Visit And Whoops She's Got Two Vaginas
Cosmo – When 22-year-old YouTube star Cassandra Bankson started having back pain, some scans revealed a surprising diagnosis: a missing kidney. And two vaginas.
Also known as “uterus didelphys” (or double uterus), this condition occurs when the two small tubes that typically join together to create one hollow uterus don’t completely merge. So you end up with a single vaginal opening, but two vaginal cavities, two uteruses, and two cervices.
“The doctor explained to me that it was like an upside-down nose,” Bankson told MailOnline. “I didn’t really know what to make of it … it certainly helped explain a lot of things,” said Bankson, who’d long suffered from terrible period cramps and up to 21 days of bleeding, according to a video she posted about discovering her condition.
While having two vaginas doesn’t necessarily increase the risk of disease or affect fertility, it can make sex difficult, more painful, or more pleasurable, depending on the woman. Bankson isn’t looking forward to discussing her condition with future partners (who will probably Google stalk her before she can spill the beans, anyway). But she wasn’t shy about filling in her family members: “I kind of walked in and said, ‘Guess what, mom? I’m twice the woman. I have two vaginas.”
Well I certainly respect how chill her response is to being told she’s had two vaginas her whole life and had no clue the entire time but that’s a REAL weird story. But mostly it’s weird because this isn’t a situation like that guy with two dicks where he was just seizing the double dicked day and fucking all sorts of people into freak show sex. But maybe that’s just the difference between men and women? A guy walks around owning his weirdo genitalia and makes it work for him while a girl lives two decades of her life unknowingly hiding her mutant vag while it leaks gallons of period blood over the course of a month without any clue at all. Forget the wage gap, the doubled up genital gap is way more important to me right now.
Really the biggest problem is that she was born in this day and age instead of a different time period. Now she’s going to have to answer a whole lot of awkward Google searches and confusion about which vag is putting in the elbow grease if she ever has a kid. But if she was born in, say, Ancient Greece, they probably would have named her the God of fertility and served her oversized grapes while slave boys fanned her. Classic wrong time wrong place too many vaginas situation at play.
