its called sequential hermaphrodism, many fish do this, like wrasse. also thier sex determinism is very different mammals. as oppose to things like silmultaneous hermaphrodites: annelid worms, tapeworms.
which bathroom they use tho?
Thanks for revealing the serious “issue”. We should have members of congress discussing this every single day and invest ton of money to legislate on the subject.
I just wanna pee in peace and safety without being looked at, talked to, heard, smelt, harassed, raped, beat up, mugged, arrested, or executed.
One time I was at the mall with my partner and some friends (all girls) and we were drinking bubble tea and shopping and hanging out, it was really nice. After a couple hours, we all had to pee and walked towards the nearest bathrooms. Everybody else got to go, and I was just too uncomfortable to go into either of the bathrooms, so didn’t and was just physically uncomfortable for the next few hours while I held it.
I wish it wasn’t an issue and I could deal with my own transition without the added riling up of people and possible legal issues of GOING PEE.
I honestly just avoid doing stuff now because it’s so stressful and risky. I can’t even leave the country anymore because I can’t risk getting my documents confiscated and put on a list trying to get a passport. I feel like a second rate citizen in my home country. Land of the free: only if you’re a cishet white man.
It’s so fucking stupid. And the gotcha of “well, you don’t want the masculine trans man in the bathroom with your daughters” doesn’t work either. It’s not about bathrooms, it’s about not wanting us to exist.
I’m so sorry for you. It’s not much but I hope you know that we are legions with you. We fill fight with you at all cost. The only things I can tell you is to stay strong, we will defeat them. I don’t know when, but we will.
I admire you for choosing to be who you are in these time of hate and intelorelance. You have more courage and strength than all these losers combined.
What you described happened is exactly what I’ve been telling people: I don’t think any trans person will want to use a public restroom anymore. If you were in Montreal, my home city, I would tell you to not be affraid, people will stand up for you if anything bad happen. But if I was in your position, anywhere else, I would probably make the same choice you made.
Stay who you are, best luck to you.
The clownfish deserve clarity, damnit!
The male fish use anemones, the girl fish use awonemones
The Ocean.
Ask a republican. They’ll have lots of opinions.
The big blue one
Reality is so woke.
One time I was talking to a friend of my parents (all Christian maga) about Cicada Killer wasps, and how the female is the deadly one that provides for the colony. The response from the friend was, “That’s so backwards to nature!”
Luckily, my mother saw the ignorance and replied with, “How do you think Lions hunt?” That was just as surprising.
Humans are backwards if anything, humans are the invasive species, humans are superior only through war, killing and stealing from others.
Nature is beautiful. The human species is not.
No, humans aren’t weird at all. Read about parasites, River blindness, Surplus killing, Chimpanzee diet (note the abundance of monkeys in their preferred prey).
The only thing remarkable about humans is our success. We’ve been able to use technology to adapt to and survive in environments far from the ones we evolved in. Otherwise many insect species such as ants have been nearly as successful as humans, inhabiting every continent save Antarctica.
Couldn’t agree more. I even had the comment: “Humans are the weird ones”, but left it out 'cause some people can’t seem to handle that thought.
Some times I think we really are aliens on this world, and we only resemble some things in Earth’s nature because evolution doesn’t like to reinvent the wheel.
ETA: A lesser idea that a lot of people won’t agree with: I really wish Humans would disappear entirely. Into space or from existence, doesn’t matter, just leave Earth alone.
Don’t fall pray to the lemmy derp culture
Curious what you mean by that?
You left out your comment because people would downvote when its perfectly valid.
Lemmy gonna downvote. I say what I say because I believe in it. I’m always open to changing my mind. I think a lot of the downvotes I receive are from people who don’t like the implications of what I’m saying but don’t have a pithy response.
Ahh, I guess you’re not wrong. Thanks for clarifying, wasn’t sure if you meant subject matter or something else, glad I asked.
Raises questions about the movie Nemo
Nemos dad was a bitch
Well, it was about growth. So I guess he transitioned to female at the end of the film.
I’m happy for her
I have genitofemoral neuralgia. According to my neurologist, my pain most closely resembles severe period cramps, and occasionally will manifest akin to childbirth.
Women are the stronger sex. Trust me.
Idk, I’ve had a vasectomy with no anesthesia.
But, there’s really no standardized way to measure pain, so this conversation will always be moot.
Same here. They just did it in the office with a laser. Nothing in comparison. I have persistent lightning-like stabbing pain in one testicle. That’s what my neurologist likened to period cramps. It’s bananas that women can just go about their day in that condition. It’s way beyond distracting.
When I move the wrong way, the pain floods my entire groin, to the point of complete disorientation, visual white out, profound ringing in my ears, and freezing cold rippling chills throughout my body. I’ve almost passed out on several occasions.
This is a great description of severe cramps. Please accept your honorary Period Enjoyer Certificate™ and also my condolences.
Hopefully they come up with a solution for yours, because the solution for mine was an IUD and it sounds like that one won’t work for you.
Thank you. Me too. I’m glad to hear you found a way to make your pain more manageable.
Your doctors have ruled out physiological causes of it?
It was initially caused by crossing my legs the wrong way and pushing back while sitting in an office chair. I was then misdiagnosed and had a surgery that compounded the problem with adhesions. It’s been a rough five years.
Since I’ve had my IUD it’s super sporadic and sometimes I kinda forget and then last week I wasn’t even up trying to pass meds or lift patients or anything I was literally just sitting suicide watch and just doubled over in the chair wondering if I was about to involuntarily expel my IUD, the world’s biggest shart, or both simultaneously. I wound up begging a coworker for a break and finding a bathroom off the unit to destroy.
Nursing lyfe.
Only someone strong would want to have another child after having gone through childbirth before.
I have heard that kidney stones are comparable to giving birth, by women who have experienced both.
So I put it on the level of my buddy who keeps getting kidney stones by overindulging in mountain dew. He knows that enjoying too much mountain dew has periodic excruciatingly painful consequences, and yet in the moment another mountain dew sounds pretty good…
I think it’s the years of raising an actual child that’s the real incentive to avoid having another one.
I think this largely friends on how big your stones get. I’ve had quite a few over the years and it’s not even the worst pain I’ve felt. And I’m a guy.
Made me think of this
Accurate
Does https://lemmy.world/c/196 know about this yet? Seems like a story that’s begging to be cross-posted if anyone knows how.
Nemo and his father would have been a lot closer in a realistic version.
Why do you think he was so desperate to find him? Did you see any other clownfish throughout the movie?
:O
Thanks for the share. This article led to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_hermaphroditism and then further down the rabbit hole. Hermaphroditism is wild.
