I'd watch this #StarTrek #TOS episode.

"Captain, the tricorder readings show genetic similarity to the #bilateral #gynandromorph #cardinal on Earth."

"So, all this rampant sexism in their society is based on, what? Left side versus right side?"

"You'll have to smack some sense into 'em, Jim."

"There's no right way to hit a woman, Bones..."

"Guess you'll have to be careful what side you aim for then."

Wonderful to be back in #Oxford today! As ever, lots of great finds in the Bod including this lovely colour plate of a #gynandromorph Gouldian finch described by biologists F. A. E. Crew and S. S. Munro in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in June 1938.

A rare and cool find.

"This mysterious insect, described recently in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research, was an exceedingly rare gynandromorph—an animal that is anatomically half male, half female—the first one ever identified in the species Megalopta amoena, a type of sweat bee found in Central and South America."
