@Great Cait The most common examples of hermaphroditism are due to chromosomal abnormalities

2018-08-27 22:40:20 UTC  

Regardless it doesn't change the fact that belief does not effect reality

2018-08-27 22:40:30 UTC  

If you think something that does not mean it is true

2018-08-27 22:40:32 UTC  

But at the end of the day if you arent convinced by any of it you could just not be a dick about it

2018-08-27 22:40:51 UTC  

the exception does not prove the non-rule

2018-08-27 22:40:53 UTC  

"In biology, a hermaphrodite (/hɜːrˈmæfrədaɪt/) is an organism that has complete or partial reproductive organs and produces gametes normally associated with both male and female sexes.[1] Many taxonomic groups of animals (mostly invertebrates) do not have separate sexes.[2] In these groups, hermaphroditism is a normal condition, enabling a form of sexual reproduction in which either partner can act as the "female" or "male". For example, the great majority of tunicates, pulmonate snails, opisthobranch snails and slugs are hermaphrodites. Hermaphroditism is also found in some fish species and to a lesser degree in other vertebrates. Most plants are also hermaphrodites."

I pulled that from Wikipedia.

2018-08-27 22:41:10 UTC  

Not in humans

2018-08-27 22:41:13 UTC  

But yeah, it seems to be mainly about reproduction.

2018-08-27 22:41:15 UTC  

Jesus

2018-08-27 22:41:27 UTC  

And reproductive organs.

2018-08-27 22:41:30 UTC  

In humans it has to do with having both sexual organs

2018-08-27 22:41:42 UTC  

most of the time becoming sterile

2018-08-27 22:41:43 UTC  

I will grant, though, that in humans, hermaphroditism is caused by chromosomal anomalies.

2018-08-27 22:41:49 UTC  

Neat

2018-08-27 22:41:51 UTC  

because humans cannot produce asexually

2018-08-27 22:42:06 UTC  

I can grow spores so that's wrong

2018-08-27 22:42:13 UTC  

Other species can do this

2018-08-27 22:42:25 UTC  

Im pretty sure that makes you a fag

2018-08-27 22:42:36 UTC  

Hermaphroditism isn't about reproducing asexually, though.

2018-08-27 22:42:42 UTC  

It means I'm a fungus @Deleted User

2018-08-27 22:42:54 UTC  

in species where hermaphroditism is normal

2018-08-27 22:42:55 UTC  

it is

2018-08-27 22:43:12 UTC  

Asexual reproduction is the process of reproduction *without* a partner.

2018-08-27 22:43:41 UTC  

Hermaphroditism occurs in animals where one individual has both male and female reproductive parts. Invertebrates, such as earthworms, slugs, tapeworms and snails, are often hermaphroditic. Hermaphrodites may self-fertilize or may mate with another of their species, fertilizing each other and both producing offspring.

2018-08-27 22:43:54 UTC  

Hermaphroditism, in creatures where it is the norm, means that there are no separate genders; any creature can mate with any other creature.

2018-08-27 22:44:01 UTC  

Oh.

2018-08-27 22:44:03 UTC  

This is where it is a normal feature for survival

2018-08-27 22:44:18 UTC  

Alright, fair enough.

2018-08-27 22:44:31 UTC  

Indeed, there are many species of slug capable of self fertilization in times of need

2018-08-27 22:44:43 UTC  

Despite the fact that they engage in sexual reproduction

2018-08-27 22:44:55 UTC  

But in humans it is not useful and considered a genetic defect

2018-08-27 22:45:02 UTC  

there are alot of animals and plants and fungi that can self fertilize

2018-08-27 22:45:07 UTC  

what are we talking about

2018-08-27 22:45:15 UTC  

I was not aware that hermaphrodites were capable of self fertilization.

2018-08-27 22:45:28 UTC  

But yeah now that it's brought up it does make sense.

2018-08-27 22:45:34 UTC  

alot of hermaphrodites need sexual reproduction

2018-08-27 22:45:43 UTC  

earth worms cannot mate with them selves despite having no gender

2018-08-27 22:45:48 UTC  

its just how some creatures were brought up

2018-08-27 22:45:49 UTC  

We were talking about transgenderism, @LumpyAcidFish

2018-08-27 22:45:52 UTC  

oh
