    I remember being a tween in the mid/late 90s and trying to convince why Mormon friends why I believed being trans was real and possible, not that I especially understood what trans was. I figured if nature was so varied and had so many irregularities there was no reason that being born into the wrong body/the wrong sex couldn’t be one of those irregularities. Being this was the 90s and the topic hadn’t been politicized we all came to the conclusion it was reasonable for biology to “allow for” trans identities. I feel like even basic biology covered the concept of a person being trans just fine

  Slap 'em with the thing that says mushrooms have like 28 thousand genders and develop new ones all the time.

    TIL.

    [T]he fungi can mate with nearly every individual of their species they meet. […] 23,000 different sexual identities, a result of widespread differentiation in the genetic locations that govern its sexual behavior.

    Why is it useful to call them sexual identities then? Are exact matches not able to mate?

      “sexual identities” lmao way to anthropomorphize freaking mushrooms 🤣 They’re called mating types and are not at all comparable to the aforementioned, entirely human, concept

    But it’s not, though. It’s the watered down children’s version of biology people half remember from elementary school. It’s not actual human biology.

      Invoking snail biology is still a non-sequitur, regardless of the actual truth value of the initial statement

  Why is this snail yellow? For me all snails are brownish.

      fascinating, their yellow color makes them more interesting for me. Are they all yellow or just some individuals?

      They are generalist feeders, though they exhibit a preference for certain mushrooms.
