What about bees? I didn’t know they had any sex changing or multiple different sexes, only that the males only existed for mating with the queen and then die
TL;DR: All fertilized eggs become female bees. Whether a fertilized egg becomes a worker or a queen is based completely on how much royal jelly they are fed by other workers as larvae. Drones (male bees) are born from unfertilized eggs and only contain one set of chromosomes.
Also, there are reptiles that change sex based on the temperature in which their eggs develop. Sex gets weird in the animal kingdom.
Or any of the fishes that can transition from one gender to another.
Which is so hella cool
And some frogs and shit can too
Nature is fuckin wild
One of them heard about the frogs once. He blamed the (((globalists))) for lacing the drinking water with magical trans chemicals to turn people gay.
In reality, it was industrial leakage by the capitalists that he loves, and was caught by the government that he hates.
Just wait until they hear about bees!
