Since sea turtles aren’t monogamous they don’t need many males... as far as the females are concerned, a little dab’ll do ya.

To those of us who keep reptiles, this is not even mildly surprising.

It’s just how reptiles work.

Some snake breeders intentionally influence the sex ratio of their litters to get more females or males, to produce more valuable morphs.

In reptiles, temperatures during incubation can and do influence the sex ratio of litters.

It’s not the big scary mystery they’re trying to make it out to be.

Temp fluctuations also produce genetic changes that result in deformities such as two headed snakes, and such.

It’s true in all species, really.

Look what happens to the unlucky little bull calves born on dairy farms and the male chicks in hatcheries.

Dramatically skew the sex of sea turtles toward female.
So do we now call sew water tranny fluid?.

Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” ****

Is that the reason so many middle school students are gender fluid?

This is totally *normal* for reptiles.

It’s not being a “tranny”.

Temperatures affect sex ratios of incubating litters.

That’s all.

Psychological manipulators with an agenda are just trying to freak out people who don’t know this.

A surplus of females is beneficial for the survival of all species.

No idea why they’re pimping this as a bad thing.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

Depends on what is is.

A surplus of females(anything) makes all the ‘middlings’ superfluous.

Give any one sex the huge upperhand a lot will have to turn rogue to get any ‘attention’

They ALL can’t be as desirable as WE are....<: <: <:

It’s why God allowed make up to be made to help those who aren’t and a few other items.
In worst case beer goggles help.
