Strewth! FFS... Let's 'queer' the concept of lungs and identify as having gills. I give you, well, three minutes max, before reality takes a shake of you to the surface gasping for air and the acknowledging the material reality of the human body and its pesky need for terrestrial respiration.

Anthropomorphizing your study objects is never a good idea for a biologist or anybody else.

The Duke of Edinburgh award reference nearly did me in, utter UCAS statement gold. All it needs is a quote from Voltaire.

Clown fish are not an example of "triumphant queer politics of marine biology" nor does their existence give a biological basis for drag acts. Ironically, sequential hermaphroditism is a reproduction phenomena, for the species to propagate. Clown fish exist in extremely complex and rigid social hierarchies, it's not about which one likes glitter (for fucks sake).
