Let's now wait until they learn about shrimps and hermaphroditism in animals.

Northern shrimp, also commonly known as northern prawn, are a sequential hermaphrodite. This is a term used for animals that start their life as one sex and change to the other later in life. In the case of northern shrimp, they are born as males and become females at around four or five years of age.

In a group of anemonefish, a strict dominance hierarchy exists. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top. 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.

I saw a post the other day half-joking that they were making the next Jurassic Park movie woke by having trans dinosaurs.

Pretty sure somebody wasn't paying attention during the original...
