It seems that we haven't been getting the whole truth about Nemo and his Dad (for those of you who've seen the movie). The fact is that they weren't so accurate when it came to Nemo's Dad, who should have became (biologically) his Mother. Thats right when the Mom died Dad needed to grow a pair, and im not talking about testicles im talking about a pair of ovaries. Clown fish live in a hierarchy, which means that the female is the head of the family followed by a male who is smaller, which is followed by a group of subordinate males who are even smaller then him. If at any time the Mother/ head of the group dies the male, who follows he loses the use of his sexual organs then has doormat ovarian cells activate and finaly grows in mass by 20% to become (drum roll please) the new mum. All those who follow him also grow and take a new role in the pack so that its always the same type of family structure. If anyone has a premature "growth spurt" when theres no need to move up in rank, they are kicked out of the pack. Its also thought that since all clown fish are born male, when two of them meet and want to start a family, one of them has to make the choice of becoming a female.
heres a source:
What the movie "Finding Nemo" doesn't tell you about clownfish is that they're all transsexuals. In a study published in the journal Nature, evolutionary biologist Peter Buston and colleagues report that clownfish in Papua New Guinea reefs can change their sex at will for social reasons. Clownfish live in strict hierarchical communities. Each neighborhood is dominated by a top-ranking female breeder. Her male partner is next, followed by up to four progressively smaller, non-breeding fish. When the dominant female dies, her mate changes sex and becomes female. The top-ranking non-breeder becomes a sexually active male, and all the other fish shift up a rank. Clownfish also appear to regulate their size in order to remain part of the group. Each fish keeps its body mass 20 percent smaller than the fish directly above it in social rank, probably to avoid conflict. Fish who disrespectfully outgrow their rank are rejected by the clan.

I have friends and have met alot of PEOPLE who identify as Trans, so its important to me to show support and educate others who may not know what its all about. This was just to show that its not just a "human" thing.
Let me break it down to you some more:
Sex is between your legs...
Gender is between you ears... think about it for a second .. I'll get back this .. eventually
