I'm not saying that all Catholics think this, but most do. also sorry if the seahorse is hard to see X---X
Seahorses aren't a great example here imo. Their biology is just different from ours, the sex that fertilizes is the sex that carries the eggs to term - that doesn't make them trans that is just how male and female work for seahorses, different than humans.
A seahorse could make this meme calling cis women trans men because they carry the fetus..
My biggest issue with this whole thing is just writing "POV" at the start.
Is this like the new generations communication habit? Some people can't stop putting lol at the end of a message, some people cant stop saying "so here's the thing" at the start of sentences. Are people just automatically writing POV at the start of memes now?
POV you’re being annoyed about "point of view" being used to describe a speech or vision as if you were the mentioned groupe
That’s okay, it’ll pass one day, you’ll adapt
Or the idiots will have to learn.
Now who are the real idiots? The ones that are stuck in the past, refusing to understand change and being infuriated because a language is being used slightly differently, or the younger ones that are adapting the language and updating it with new speech patterns to better match what they want to express?
Just let me be clear, it incenses me just as much as you, lol, but here's the thing, run on sentences are much worse for us in the interim and we need to circle back around so that that issue becomes a lesser thing, lest we forget the true horrors of english perpetuating themselves through a normalization of nominalization that makes a trivialization of our original lines in the sand aaaaand now I'm just getting into the weeds with my niche micro-interests and brought in too many limes.
yeah sorry
POV you’re sorry
POV I don't change anything about my behavior or habits
Could you please take this seriously and go resubmit this comment chain with lol following each response. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Gender fuckery and homosexuality are present in almost every single animal species.
Humans are the only ones who developed bigotry about them
Don't fucking talk to me about "unnatural"
I dunno, I'm sure if we looked hard we could find at least one baboon bigot out there.
I just like seahorses
I think being true to yourself is being closer to God than most Christians are.
honestly
Isn't this confusing sex and gender?
Nevee really understood those terms. Can someone explain in a simple way?
Sex is biology, gender is sociology.
Your biological sex is the physical manifestation. It involves your genitals and genes. That is why it is called a sex-change and not a gender-change.
Your gender is how society perceives you. It is a spectrum between masculine and feminine. And not a single person in this world is pure masculine or feminine, since it also differs between societies. Like wearing a skirt is seen in most places as something feminine, but go to Scotland and there it is masculine.
Your gender is how society perceives you. It is a spectrum between masculine and feminine
Not quite. It's got nothing to do with how people perceive you. A closeted trans woman is still a woman, even though she's perceived as a man.
It's also not inherently defined by femininity or masculinity. You can be a masculine woman or a feminine man, or you can simply not give a shit about masculinity or femininity (this is me). Society defines what we consider masculine and feminine, and creates powerful associations between these behaviours and gender, but the association is "after the fact"
go to Scotland and there it is masculine.
I wouldn't say that. In Scotland wearing a skirt is still seen as feminine. Wearing a very special kind of skirt is seen as masculine in certain contexts. If you're wearing a kilt, a sporran (the purse thing), knee length socks, the right kind of shoes, etc. it's definitely a masculine style of dress. But, without all the accessories it's more ambiguous whether it's male or female. And if it's not a tartan at all -- say a miniskirt, that's definitely still feminine in Scotland.
Not directly. Trans men can get pregnant too (it may or may not be possible if they are on hormones but as long as the Organs are still there they should be table to get pregnant.
Right, that's my point. Since we don't know anything about the thoughts of seahorses or about seahorse society, we can't apply labels like "trans" to seahorses, the only thing we know about is their biology, so sex, not gender.
Male seahorse get pregnant, but that doesn't make them trans, they're unambiguously male. This is a great example of why sex is defined by gamete size. If it weren't, we couldn't talk about males and females in any useful way across the animal kingdom.
Clownfish would be a better example as they're sequential hermaphrodites, but that doesn't have any bearing on the human sex binary.
Frogs and ducks enter the chat
Clown Fish have entered the chat
A whole new vibe to, "plenty of fish in the sea."
what
I was just looking up if ducks can turn trans and this popped up
Okay looks like this one is the female because it has the babies! Oh wait I has a penis so this is the male. The other one is the female because it has the vagina. Oh but it can't have babies. Then this one is the male! And that one is the female because it has the babies. Oh but it has a penis.... Repeat.
Reproductive Cycle of a Seahorse....
No, seahorses don't have penises in the typical sense; female seahorses possess an ovipositor, a tube-like structure, which they use to deposit their eggs into the male's specialized brood pouch, where the male then fertilizes them and carries the young until birth, essentially becoming the pregnant parent.
Okay so this one is the male because it has a long stick! And that one is the female because it has a pouch...wait but the stick is full of eggs and the pouch is full of cum. Hmmm hold on the one with the stick gives the stick to the one that has a hole? Preposterous! Let's all pray.
Conservatives saying shit like "nature intended monogamous relationships between men and women, and it is against nature to change your gender" while fucking nature is queer AS fuck. Clown fish will always end up turning into females in the course of their lives (if they dont get eaten before), male seahorses get pregnant and shimpanzes solve all of their problems with sex.
Saying nature intended anything is naive
Chimpanzees have gang wars and eat each other. Doesn't make it right.
I feel like this misrepresents what trans means, but I'm not educated enough to get into it.
It's perfectly cis for a male seahorse to give birth. That said, a quick search told me they also change sexes over the course of their life so…
But I was under the impression that part of transitioning was the conscious decision to make a change in line with self perception. I can't help but think non human animals wouldn't experience that.
Better example is ~~parrotfish~~ clownfish.
also sorry if the seahorse is hard to see
I am emotionally damaged and triggered from seeing this seahorse. It was a very hard thing for me to see.
