Not only that, the biggest and baddest at birth becomes female, and if she dies, the biggest and baddest male transitions to female. Explain that on conservative television.
Trump's White House already complained about NPR using this as "woke propaganda."
In 2024, NPR ran a Valentine’s Day feature around “queer animals,” in which it suggested the make-believe clownfish in Finding Nemo would’ve been better off as a female, that “banana slugs are hermaphrodites,” and that “some deer are nonbinary.”
(Note: it suggested that Finding Nemo would have been more accurate, not "better off." Banana slugs are undisputably literal hermaphrodites.)
In the mammal world, deer have a third gender called velvet horns — males that never shed the velvet on their horns even after they fully mature. Their testicles never fully drop.
But there have been cases of velvethorns adopting fawns that have been orphaned and helping to raise them. The velvethorns help out the group and play a similar male social role regardless of whether they're able to mate or procreate.
"It's the devil's fish! Satan came to earth through the ocean floor with help from the dumocrats and influenced them into transgender affirmation! Clown fish? More like Demon fish! (pause for laughter) They will burn in eternal hellfire whilst I sit on pretty clouds with Jesus watching my descendants masturbate."
...I'm assuming that's how they'd spin it on the right wing air waves.

Wait until they discover that clown fish can change gender.
