A clownfish naturally changes its biological sex. That's what it does. Is it trans or cis? A snail has both sexes at the same time. Is it trans or cis? Or does the concept of cis/trans just not make any sense at all in a species that doesn't have two static sexes and doesn't naturally change between them?

What's the show? I think I saw it but I don't remember this part. And I don't remember the name so I can't look of there's a new season.Vox Machina, and there is a new season.

For humans, yes. For other species, not so much. A clownfish isn't trans just because it changes its sex. In fact, it's cis all the time, because its the biological sex that changes. If the character naturally, natively changes their sex, they aren't trans either. Humans cannot change their sex, they can only change their gender. That's what trans people do. If an animal or a being can change their sex, they are still cis while doing so (unless they change their sex and then change their gender to a different one at the same time). But the concept of trans just plainly doesn't apply to many species. Some have more than two sexes, some have more than one sex at a time. When talking about other species, sex is really not a solid thing at all.I agree with most of what you say, but human can absolutely change their sex. What do you think hrt does? Sex is a collection of biological realities, all of which lands you somewhere on the sex binomial spectrum. Some things are impossible to change (chromosomes and dna), while others are very much possible (ratio of hormones or sexual organs). I like this chart:

don't these motherfuckers get tired of being mad about everything being woke. I can't imagine living my life so unhappy that I am angered by the single though of a trans person in media. These clowns need to get a fucking life.

Sex is a collection of biological realities, all of which lands you somewhere on the sex binomial spectrum. Some things are impossible to change (chromosomes and dna), while others are very much possible (ratio of hormones or sexual organs). I like this chart: As you said, it's impossible (at least for now) to change all of these biological realities. HRT is good for what it does, but it doesn't fully change one from one end of your spectrum to the other. Biologically, the only real purpose for a biological sex is procreation. Afaik, there's currently no way for someone who was born as a woman (left end of your spectrum) to procreate as a man (right end of the spectrum) or vice-versa. The rest is, to me, gender, not sex. (And yes, one could argue that e.g. infertile people or people after hysterectomy/orchiectomy don't have a biological gender, but then again, apart from procreation and maybe some medical stuff, the biological sex doesn't really matter and everything else is really just gender. And isn't that also the basis of the concept of being trans? That the biological sex isn't an imperative/doesn't really matter and that thus you can change your gender?)
