What do you know about it?

Paarse vrijdag

Paarse Vrijdag is een dag waarop scholieren en studenten door het dragen van de kleur paars op school hun solidariteit kunnen tonen met lhbt+'ers. In Nederland wordt de dag sinds 2010 ieder jaar op de tweede vrijdag van december gehouden.

What does it mean in the animal world?

In nature

For Mother Nature, biological sex isn’t always an either-or proposition. Some species come with simultaneously functioning female and male organs. Others change from female to male or vice versa, depending on need or surrounding conditions.

The reasons behind this fluid mobility are varied: Some are natural processes that offer a species reproductive flexibility, while others aren’t so natural, often sparked by rising global temperatures.
