And as to that deformity which was shown to jurors and the extreme scarring and no testicles had made Jessica Mann think he was intersex:
With all seemingly about to be laid barre laid bare in a three-part series in Graydon Carter’s Digital News Weekly, “Air Mail,”.
He had been stricken with Fournier's gangrene, 'an acute infection of the genital region that diabetics and middle-aged men are prone to.'
Although being a rare bacterial infection afflicting fewer than a 100 people a year and killing a third of them, which seemingly saw him medevaced out of St. Barts at Christmas in 1999. This seemingly explains why no mention of deformity was made by those assaulted prior to that date, such as Rose McGowan’s accusation of rape in 1997 at the Sundance film festival (theguardian.com, Jan. 2018), and also stymies argument that his assaults were in some way compensatory for the trauma of his deformity.
Some patients require skin grafts while extreme cases can require an orchiectomy – the removal of the testicles - as seems to have been the case with Weinstein.
And a side effect being extreme erectile dysfunction requiring something more than a blue pill, which corroborates Mann’s story of him requiring his todger to be injected to get a stify:
Author Phoebe Eaton revealed that one of the less savory jobs foisted upon Weinstein's 'hapless assistants' was 'procuring Harvey's meds, such as Caverject.'
Injected directly into the penis 5 to 20 minutes before intercourse, Caverject increases blood flow and can give a paraplegic with no function below the waist an erection.
And no, believe me, you really do not want to look up either pictures of Fournier’s gangrene or details on using Caverject.
