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.

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.
Apparently, this is the way 😐
The male fish use anemones, the girl fish use awonemones
Ask a republican. They’ll have lots of opinions.

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
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.
This isn't even my final form!
sheds penis and grows boobs
Jokes aside, I think Frieza (at least the American VO version) was the first character that made me wonder about the gender norms forced upon us by the church. The voice and initial behavior was fairly feminine, but then it was supposed to be a male the whole time? Or maybe neither! I'm kinda glad they never really called it out. If they did, I missed it and wasn't a serious part of the plot.
They've referred to Frieza as a "he" a few times in the English and original Japanese version.
As well as the non cannon movie about his brother Cooler.
That's probably where I had the subconscious thought Frieza was intended to be a male.
No genitals, though! Just a lump, like King Cold and Coola. Wait... were those even tails?!
Still bottoms
I think ovaries are more important here
Yeah but how would you see that?
Turnin the fricken frogs gay
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.
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.

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.
The strongest MALE becomes female, to be clear.
Anemonefish are protandrous sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female anemonefish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female
In what sense was that not clear
I'm not sure but the part I'm still wondering is if you remove the female fish, and then some time later added it back does the second fish stop laying eggs and become the male again, or do they just fight to the death
