The British Library celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride Month by tweeting about the Māori wrasse, a fish that can change its sex from female to male.
If you were asking yourself what else is left that could possibly offend transphobes, wonder no more.
The answer is a fish.
A fish.
The British Library wrote:
“This #Pride month, let us tell you about the Māori wrasse (also known as the humphead wrasse).
"But its wondrous forehead isn’t the most magnificent thing about this fish—they are protogynous hermaphrodites, which means the females can later change sex to become males.”

Transphobic trolls freaked out that a library would post educational information.
Many also had to declare fish are not human.
The British Library caved to the anti-LGBTQ+ trolls—as many others have done this year *cough* Target.
They deleted their tweet.
People not triggered by piscine biology shared their disappointment.
While they did remove the fish tweet, The British Library kept their June 1 Pride post that reads:
"'Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no.'"
"'It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid...'"
"Written on the Body, Jeanette Winterson."
Though this tweet has also faced anti-LGBTQ+ backlash, it remains online.
As it should.
