      We had a priest teacher (Catholic school) and he kept saying that being gay was an aberration

      We couldn’t hold it and we told him that there’s lots of gay animals, but the only aberration was being celibate. He got so angry that he tried to expell all of us, but he ended up being replaced

    There’s a number of femboys in nature. I think it’s cuttlefish or something similar that can camouflage, turning one side of its body to have female coloring, and the other to have male coloring. It presents the female side to the larger male, and the male side to the female. The fact that this works indicates a high level of intelligence, as deception is difficult for any animal to pull off.

      Also ruffs (a kind of shore bird). They form groups so males can fight for mating rights, and for a long time scientists thought the female-mimics looked like females so they can sneakily mate. But it turns out that all the other birds probably know they’re male because females are more likely to join a group that has a female-mimic!

      Femboys are just sexy, nature agrees.
