If I hug my male friend, have I become the gay?
Pretty sure they get up to all sorts of rape and paedophilia and incest too. This might be a nice fact, but penguins are dirty bitches and certainly no behavioural gold standard.
I don’t think anyone but you has even remotely implied there’s some overall gold standard presented by penguin behavior that needs to be compared to humans. Simply the fact that other species have homosexuals, and those pairs can raise a “family” successfully. Compared to your mentioned standard humans don’t do so great sometimes either.
I didn't imply they were a gold standard. I just remarked that they certainly weren't, which is very different.
The snuggle all day business sounds legit
Akshualy those are lesbians, because birds have XX for male and XY for female. 😅
Don't birds have W and Z or something instead of X and Y?
What you call them iis arbitrary. Genetics is a disgustingly unstandardized field when it comes to naming things.
It isn't arbitrary when you're comparing it to another specific chromosome.
