    I have read a bit about biology and the science is kinda clear cut on it. That is to say, sex is a false dichotomy. Not even the chromosomes are a deterministic 100% guarantee for other things like genitals, breasts and even “male/female normatieve brain patterns”. So yeah, follow the science and discover biology is not binary.

      Definitely going to try to add that to my “What about bears” question for future use. Much appreciated. I’m not certain that many recipients of my challenge will understand the words. I may be on a witchcraft charge in some places

        Do you have penguins in your bears question? They can form monogamous same sex bonded pairs that can adopt an egg from another couple and raise it.

        That’s a fun one to fuck with 'phobes about

          snails are hermaphroditic, impale each other with sex arrows, and then proceed to twist around each other while hanging from a rope of slime and they impregnate each other.

          Jellyfish spew their sperm and eggs into the water around them, hope for it to meet up and make an egg that hatches into a larva, which roots itself to the ocean floor and grows into a polyp where the adult jellyfish grow like a stack of plates and each one individually buds off.
