Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This has a good rundown on the effect in it being about activated genes and even compares to similar in effects in humans but rather than being a natural effect we see how in our species the Y makes one male as a defective Y causes one to lack male characteristics and an extra functional Y will cause male characteristics. In clownfish they are all males but their biology allows for the gene to be turned off by environment. It makes me wonder about how the eggs develop and if the biology for production in present in the males or if it has to develop once the sex gene changes. https://www.thetech.org/ask-a-geneticist/articles/2004/ask28/
