Why would you bring up binary gender with fixed binary genitalia in a post about something being genderless? Clothing is really arbitrarily gendered anyways, so of course it doesn't make much sense who is supposed to wear something and who not...

Have you uploaded it to iNaturalist? People will definitely be able to ID it over there!
Yes, bisexual means something else in both contexts...
Well, if it works for you, great. But that doesn't mean that it will work for anyone else.
OK got It, so mostly oregano-ish with notes of thyme :)
Looked it up because I hadn't heard of it. Wikipedia say the following:
Common names in English include Indian borage, country borage, French thyme, Indian mint, Mexican mint, Cuban oregano, broad leaf thyme, soup mint, Spanish thyme.
What? So does it taste like a mix of borage, thyme, mint and oregano?? Sure, they are all Lamiaceae (except for borage), but they have wildly different aromas!
How is bread and sugar not plants?? Oversimplifying stuff doesn't make it better...
Yes, that's what I wondered, too. In ant nest parasites they usually are visually very different from the ants, but get the pheromones right. In this example here, visual clues have to be important for the beetle to have evolved such a sophisticated mimicry.
It's maybe comparable to a bee hive or ant nest losing it's workers. Each single one of them isn't important at all. But if nearly all of them are gone, the hive/nest will do much worse or even collapse.
Was für eine widerliche Kommentarspalte hier. Nix von feministischen Verständnis, einfach nur die Verweigerung, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. Ihr seid nicht progressiv oder links oder emanzipatorisch, ihr tragt die ganze Scheiße mit. Naja, ich bin erstmal einige Menschen blocken hier, damit ich sowas nicht weiter lesen muss 🤮
Femizid ist als Begriff so gewählt, weil es eben die strukturelle Ebene von Morden an Frauen aufzeigen soll. Es sind keine alleinstehenden Beziehungstaten, sondern ein sehr gehäuftes Verhalten basierend auf patriarchalem Machterhalt. Der Begriff hilft also dabei, nicht einen tragischen Einzelfall zu sehen, sondern warum dass immer und immer wieder jeden Tag passiert. So wie z.B. sexistische Diskriminierung ja auch erstmal nur als Beleidigung aufgefasst werden könnte, aber dahinter ja aber eine Struktur steckt, die diese Beleidigung ermöglicht und auch erfordert.
No worries, "being smug over the meanings of words that aren't ever actually used in a consistent way" is done over here in Europe as well. People have the exact same conversations you list as examples. I would even go so far and say that this is true for the whole world and throughout time, a human condition. I would also think that it really isn't about the words/language, but rather about having control over the conversation and power over others.
