Yes this! I hate when people say biology supports their trans/homo/ect. phobia when in reality it absolutely does not

Transphobic people must really hate frogs.
And many kinds of fish! Like clown fish : ]
I am trans and love toads
Which doesn't prove the above statement but it hints towards it.

It's 1st grade biology!
Yes, it is. Advertising the fact that you only know biology up to a 1st grade level is not the flex you think it is.

Attention! Turn back. Going into these comments can bring you nothing of happiness. You can just look up the "tumblr reading comprehension" meme instead of needing to see the gory details of it in action.
But comments like that are exactly why I'm here!
Haha fair enough, in that case you will find exactly what you're looking for.
The warnings are clear but we choose to advance anyway.
This is not a place of honor. Nothing of value is here.
The world is a wonderful place, and far too wide to need to conform to your pet theory.
I have a theory that you're all my pets. So you will conform, or you won't get a treat.

Fish absolutely exist cladistically, OP just didn't want to admit they're a land dwelling fish. You believe the implications of cladistics or you don't, cowards.
I'd also argue it's relatively easy to separate fish-fish from land fish from land fish that became sea fish again to bully the fish fish.

Just gonna swing by and drop this little grenade:
If you believe "race doesn't exist", then this post also applies to you. If you can refer to different genders while also understanding that at the individual level definitions are fluid and blurry, then you can refer to different races while also understanding that at the individual level definitions are fluid and blurry.
Got it, fish are racist confirmed.
Of course some fish are racist, especially humans.
Unfortunately I could still read this, needs more jpeg.
I try to tell folks all the time that biology is not as simplistic as they think. It's basically an endeavor of humans trying to make simplistic categories out of a naturally complicated clusterfuck. Some things defy labels, not everything fits into a nice, easy little box. Life is complicated. Get over it.
We're all just collectively ignoring the biologist's username?
I mean they are definitely correct, but that name detracts from their credibility somewhat.
That's a problem for the future society
What's the worst an evil biologist can do? Dissect a frog, but with a frown?

Fish do not exist because of pedantic technicalities? Reality isn't real
It's more that biological classification is tricky and linear, and vertebrates went in and out of the ocean a few times

Have you heard about birds?
It's worse.
Birds also don't exist, it's all government drones.

This is like bemoaning the fact that doctors don't treat "the humors" anymore. We gained knowledge that invalidated what we thought we knew, so we've updated our understanding. Unless you're a taxonomical marine biologist, it's really very unimportant anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

No no, it's that humans are technically in the fish group of evolution, even though it happened a LONG time ago. That's what they mean by "cladistically", there is no "clade" of fish. Look up "humans are hagfish by Clint's Reptiles". He explains it wonderfully
