Then there’s the eyes of flounders.
Do you guys like fish sticks?
No, but I like fish dicks.
I clicked this post expecting to see this image.
You didn’t disappoint me.
If anyone is curious (as I was):
In real life Nemo’s dad would have become female after mommy got eaten. https://evolution.berkeley.edu/fisheye-view-tree-of-life/gender-bending-fish/
“of all the animals, fish are sexually the most fluid” - https://www.bbcearth.com/news/fish-are-the-sex-switching-masters-of-the-animal-kingdom
Salmon change sex too if I recall correctly.
I don’t think salmon change sex to be honest. It seems from the stuff I could find that sex determination for salmon is mostly chromosomal but with divergence at certain temperature during development (or exogenous hormonal influence obviously).
The coolest paper I found while searching was this:
Natural sex change in fish - ScienceDirect - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0070215318301145
Apparently they do, or at the very least some types of salmon: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/salmon-puzzle-why-did-males-turn-female
No, this is just saying that they have the chromosomes that usually produce male salmon but they have female salmon genitalia. I read that one. Unless I misread they haven’t seen these salmon be male and then later female (like the clown fish do).
Nemo’s dad would have become female after mommy got eaten.
And mated with Nemo. Let’s not forget that.
Fish-cest
Fincest, surely.
Is it possible to learn this power?
She’s awesome. They also did some Pride crafts and while her two co-workers made those Polaroid picture frames with slogans she made a big angler fish hat. Because she thinks they are awesome (she’s right).
Does trans fall into the term gay now? Honest question. I understood the former to be about gender and the latter to be about sexual orientation.
The aquarium staff hoist the trans flag, and explain that “some fish change gender”. The people complaining bring up “gay”, but don’t seem very well informed about human or aquatic cultures.
Do they change gender or sex though? I found that confusing. I know some species can change sex.
Fish changing sex is the most common, with pronounced physical sex changes. But they also usually simultaneously change gender, starting to behave in the manner associated with their new sex.
And there is some interesting examples of changes that seem to be more gender based. This study discusses behavior changes in wrasses where “male-typical behaviors such as courtship and aggression” start being seen in certain female fish, leading to changes in social status, before any noticeable changes to gonadal organs (the glands that produce many of the sex hermones).
Ah, nice. Thanks for the info.
Not trying to answer the question, but the only party that suggests that in the original post is “the haters”.
Well the reason I asked is because the “haters” suggest it, but then the entertains it.
And judging from the other answers I’ve received here, it does not seem to be a settled matter.
Am trans.
No. Unless you’re joking about…The Gays~
For non-experts it generally falls into the “gay stuff”.
(if you can explain the difference between sex and gender you’re an expert)
“Gay” as a blanket term inclusive of all alternative lifestyles and peoples. Like how saying “you guys” is inclusive of all genders.
…or using the term “Man” to refer to all of humankind.
Not technically, but a lot of queer people use it as an umbrella term. As the saying goes: we are all f_ggots in the eyes of the state.
Should’ve looped on the big screens that recent clip of the two whales “mating”. 🤌🏼

You can easily find the “first video footage of whales making is actually two males” on your own without me handing you the proverbial fish, friend.
