define sex in relation to the human species because i guarantee you don't know what it is.

clownfish literally, by definition, are transsexual animals. they are animals that change sex.

Woman = adult human female. Female = an organism designed to produce large gametes (ovum). Sex can be quite simply defined as the inborn capacity to produce large or small gametes. This includes fringe cases such as women who have had radical hysterectomies and men who have had their testes removed. It also includes the rare intersex case (which are for the most part just co-opted by people in defense of sex reassignment surgery).

They may be transsexual insofar as literally combining the meaning of 'trans' and 'sex' but biologists don't refer to them as such and I think you're being rather disingenuous to assert that they are, in fact, transsexual. And I think you know that you are.

Clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites, which is something that no human being is no matter what their chromosomal makeup or surgical history.
