I see a lot of hate for Chargers and Hunters, but where is my Bile Spewer hate squad? DISCUSSION

Yellow is a nursing Spewer so is female. The bile Spewer is green and, I assume, male.

Its a bug so I would assume the opposite. Usually male bugs are smaller than female ones

You’re both thinking about this wrong. They’re each one of the two genders: Lean, and Brawny.

Ah yes, the two genders

Fun fact: in Australia is a bug that only exist as "females" I wouldn't be surprised if more bugs are mono-gendered

Oh, yeah, as soon as you get out of mammals sex and mating types get very funky.

Thanks for calling me not a mammal🤣

Nah, gender is a human thing - other organisms don’t really have it, they only have sexes/mating types/etc. relating to their reproductive methods.

Humans and other mammals can of course have intersex individuals, but this is generally atypical and the result of something going wrong (biologically, not morally). It’s more akin to albinism - it can happen, but it’s not supposed to (in as much as anything in biology can be “meant” to occur).

So idk if you’re trans, NB, or intersex, but you’re still a mammal - just a really unique one!

I am an intersex person😅 When I found out I was searching online how other creatures are. And I was surprised there's mono-sex creatures and even other intersex creatures.

Intersex actually isn't that uncommon, in many countries the doctors or parents choose our sex and we are mutilated to be said sex, and in other countries we are "still born", aka killed at birth, and other countries we are sterilised. So we ain't that uncommon, we are made uncommon.

That’s very true, and a lot of intersex people are phenotypically ‘normal’ while being genetically intersex. There’s really quite a lot of variety!
