i work in a pet store. a woman was looking at our bettas and asked me whether one was male or female. i told her that they were all male, because they are- our company only orders male bettas. she looked at me incredulously and pointed at one and asked, “even this one?”
i was like “…yes, why?”
“it’s pink, though! why is the male fish pink?”
i swear, she was borderline angry at me. i didn’t know how to explain that fish genetics don’t adhere to human gender roles

the cis: but what about BIOLOGY
also the cis: but… why is the pink fish MALE??

oh boy wait til they hear about flamingos
