National Geographic (check out the site for a video):
The blue groper is a large fish, but the really sexy thing about blue groper is they start off as females. We've got lots of blue groper that are small green groper and as an old male dies then the largest most dominant females turns blue and becomes male. And so one of the really cool things about these fish, is the sex ratio doesn't really vary, but it is a function of how well protected they are. If you take a lot of males out, then the females have to spend a lot of their time turning into males, which means they can't breed and they can't lay eggs.
Kinda amazing, and because it's one of two days a year I'm blessed with killer cramps, I wouldn't mind changing my gender right about now. brb, taking Advil because I am no blue groper.
If you had the chance rightthisverysecond to switch your gender, would you?

Change my gender identity? No. Change my body to better match my identity? Yes. Then again, I am transgender.
FTM fishies ftw! I love the diversity in nature.
hmm just to experience it for one day i would! :p
nope
Changing your gender is just as easy as changing clothes. Sex and gender are different. I'm a trans-gender, however to become a trans-sexual, you would require surgery.
Yes, I wish I was male. *sad*

it's teeth are creepy.
anyways NOPE. happy with a penis.
No way! I love being a girl.
"I wish I were a boy" ....literally comes out of my mouth at times, like when I have to find a toilet to pee or when I am bleeding to death, but truthfully I dont think I really mean it!.......I was watching LOGO the other night though and a question that made me think a lot, was if you were a boy (cuz I am a girl) would you still like boys?...Hmmmm
that blue fish has jessica alba's lips
no, I wouldn't switch because women have a sexier selection of shoes<3
It would be an interesting experiance, but not one I would want to be permanent. I Very much like being female thankyouverymuch, despite some of the Lovely inconveiniances that plague my sex.
Uh huh! DEFINITELY! :P When I need to be more masculine, I guess. Haha. Like mowing the lawn. Epic fail at that!
no thanks :)
Haha sure! If I can turn back later? xD
I always wanted to be a sexy male <3
yeah, guts have it sooo much easier
If it's for a day, I'd want to change and then change back! =D
If i could suddenly have a female body...id probably do it.
@xthread@xanga - MTF fishies ftw!
I think seahorses could change sex too. Neat!
If I could change back, then yeah.
I've always wanted to write my name with my own urine.
Hah. I'm gross :]
Nahh.
Ahahahaa, this is so interesting!
and give up these hips? no thank you!
@abcdefgaby@xanga - ROFL , that would be the ONLY fun part of it
@Fantasysfan@xanga - Hahah, I know rightt?
Like Ian Malcom and Alan Grant said in Jurassic Park: "Life found a Way"
Nope, I like being a girl!
I LOVE being a woman and yes although the days of the period is really a big ass pain, I think instead of my switching to a man to avoid the pain, I think even MEN should have periods.
HAHAHAHA not for the same reason but to just share the PAIN...not sympathy pains either, THE REAL stuff,.,..the cramps or backaches or both! heh heh heh
For a day, absolutely.
Forever, then never.
