Humans are not clownfish. How a clownfish (or any other animal that isn’t a human) operates biologically has no relevance to a conversation about human sex.
I remember a few years ago there was a post circulating about how a species of fungi was discovered that apparently has thousands of sex variations (it gave an exact number iirc, but I don’t remember what it was) and all the comments were like “the terfs must be ABSOLUTELY SEETHING!!!! 😂😂😂”
And it’s like…no? What does this plant or animal or whatever have to do with anything?
Found it
The cherry picking of species to "prove" or "disprove" an argument for gender is very childish to me. "This one fish can change sexes -" well this fish can also breathe under water unassisted by technology. Can you do that?
"There's a mushroom with thousands of biological sexes -" and that mushroom can reproduce by sending spores out into the air. Frankly, I hoping you can't do that one.
Nature is full of amazing creatures and biological processes. But excluding humans, do you know what's surprisingly absent in nature? Identity politics. A fish that can change sexes is still a fish, and a mushroom with more than two reproductive possibilities is still a fungus. A dog with cat-like behavior is still genetically a dog. And an effeminate man who prefers wearing skirts is still biologically a man.
If a human male or female wants to change sexes, biology doesn't magically bend to this desire. It's just not how our species works.
If a man wants to wear a skirt, let him. If a woman wants to buzz off her hair, let her. But please don't pretend outward aesthetics dictate the biology within, and certainly refrain from saying that because this one species can do something means that it's simply natural for humans as well.
There are SO many good reasons to dismiss the absurd “creatures in nature” trans argument for a human sex spectrum. The rebuttal that the animals they always bring up are obviously not evolutionarily close to humans, or even adjacently related to humans, should be more than enough to thoroughly dismantle it. It’s frankly stupid that we need more than just that to dismiss their nonsensical claims
NONE of the animals they bring up require medical intervention or any other outside influence to undergo the changes they do. It’s something that happens to them completely naturally. It’s a total contrast to humans attempting to alter themselves entirely assisted by hormonal and surgical treatments
