'Gender is the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or third gender.'

How do fish change their gender? Are there really smart fishes having formed social constructs related to their sex?

[โ€“] oyfrog@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Many biologists (myself included) don't anthropomorphize animals because it's impossible to objectively quantify things like "culture". So, my opinion is that some fish change sex, and not their gender (because fish don't have genders, which are human social constructs).

Happy to be corrected if I'm off-base. I'm not an ichthyologist.
