Yeah it's not like there are male and female in the animal and plant kingdoms or anything. /s

Well the only "sexual dimorphism" I can think in the plant kingdom is cannabis, although maybe there are a few others. ;) But no gender-changing for mammals!

Angiosperms have both pistillate, stamenate, and combined flowers.

Gymnosperms have cones or not.

I was a champion marijuana grower; one of the problems is that since we take out the stamenate ("male") plants, sometimes the pistillates grow a few stamenates and the buds end up with seeds if we aren't vigilant. Plants have sexes, but it's not the same as higher animals.

Some amphibians can change sex, and there are hermaphroditic snakes.

Gender advocates insist that developmental defects prove that "gender is a social construct."

Yeah, cannabis is the only one I've ever heard of referred to as 'male' and 'female'. You defnitely don't want male plans to splooge all over your female plants unless you need more seeds.

I tell the gendernutzis that 100% sexually dimorphic mammals prove that for *all* mammals it's not.

Usually dimorphism reflects differing care of the young. Big exception in cats; males take no part in raising kittens yet the two sexes are all but indistinguishable.
