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.

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?

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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.

I feel like this misrepresents what trans means, but I'm not educated enough to get into it.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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…

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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.

Isn't this confusing sex and gender?

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..

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

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.

I think being true to yourself is being closer to God than most Christians are.

In case you wanted the explanation from a 1993 Nirvana T-shirt: “Ever the trendsetter, the sea horse is the sole animal known to man which the male of the species endures the privilege of childbirth. Following a length courtship, a male and female have intercourse during which the female enters the male and lays as many as 200 eggs which are fertilized within the body of the male. After a 5-week gestation period, the male gives birth.”

Better example is ~~parrotfish~~ clownfish.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

Catholics: Eating your young isn't normal or part of nature.

Nature: Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!

I just like seahorses

But returning from the dead is A-OK!

As long as you're the same gender, yes. And didn't touch you dead wiener, of course.

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"

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

I dunno, I'm sure if we looked hard we could find at least one baboon bigot out there.
