  • So sex in biology isn’t usually identified via studying the chromosomes of an organism, since not even every species uses an XY Sex Determination system. It is generally determined via the primary and secondary sex characteristics exhibited by the organism. If the organism has female sex characteristics, they are “biologically female”. Its get even murkier when discussing things like Klinefelter Syndrome, Swyer Syndrom, and de la Chapelle Syndrome.

    There are people out there with XX Chromosomes that were born looking like men, have penises like men, sound like men, etc. And there are people out there with XY Chromosomes that were born looking like women. These people might not even be trans; it is just that genetics, biology, chromosomes and the like aren’t so clear cut and easily put into two categories like “biologically male” and “biologically female”.

    The terms “biologically male” and “biologically female” tend to be phrases that exist within the realms of transphobes and the like to deny people’s gender identities, and not anything used by scientists.










  • It appears to be some sort of bromeliad. Many bromeliad species don’t really have roots, but instead grow on top of rocks or other plants like trees. They get their water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly rather than from their roots. Some species even have leaf shapes that make like a bucket in the center to capture water to use. Anyways, they’re cool plants. And some have absolutely beautiful flowers.
