Nothing he’s doing to himself will be passed on to his offspring anyway what are you the reincarnation of Lamarck?
Clavicular being infertile at 19 years old is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Nothing he's doing to himself will be passed on to his offspring, even if he could reproduce. Literally just the male version of becoming a bimbo.

I mean if they split the UK into Wales, Scotland, and England, I reckon Northern Ireland might have some things to say about it…

“Women not laughing at men’s inappropriate jokes made about vulnerable patients makes those men afraid to work with women.” Gosh. Poor them.
Replying to @quesadaaa_
