Which makes them super attractive to females. Ooh la la.” The thread noted that in general, sex and reproduction among fish is extremely varied: “Clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites (M→F)/Coral gobies change sex repeatedly/Freshwater mangrove killifish reproduce by self-fertilisation/All-female Amazon mollies mate with males of other species but completely disregard their sperm.” After the thread showed how variations in sex and gender is a natural part of our world, anti-trans trolls responded in typical fashion, attacking the library with mockery and hateful comments.

One person mocked, “Pride month is also a celebration of hermaphroditic fish.” Another wrote, “When people can actually generate vagina, uterus, ovaries, and the endocrine system to support pregnancy, WITHOUT MEDICAL INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT, get back to us.
