“Scientists” desperately trying to find gender swapping examples in nature to normalize the concept of such things in humans.

Correct. Normally it's Democrats pushing this Godless Reprobate agenda. But there ARE other idiots too....

Except that trees and other plants do this to avoid self pollination. Cannabis, IIRC, does this as well. This is nothing new as it was noted by Darwin back in the 1800’s........

So I’d say that mother nature was doing her thing...constantly evolving.

Trans people should not get their hopes up. Trees are not mammals. Assuming they work the same way as mammals is foolish.

Maybe it’s just me but aI find it hard not to believe that those who grow walnut trees to harvest walnuts have never realized this until now.

Would it be prudent to point out that people ain’t trees?

how?

The genes control the growth and thus flower production

80% of all flowering plants are hermaphroditic, containing both sexes in the same flower. 5% of plant species are monoecious. The remaining 15% are dioecious (each plant is unisexual).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-pollination

We think of a plant as one organism but most of them are a collection of buds or seeds.
