Fake reindeers...

Are all Santa's reindeers transgender or just Identify as males... ONLY female reindeers have antlers at Christmas... Male reindeer cast their antlers well before Christmas... I thought this was interesting... Maybe they should be renamed ?

Good point. I'd say Occam's razor would dictate that reindeer, like God, set their own rules and can ignore genetic mandates, unlike us mortals.

Well, we might make some reasonable gender assumptions based on their names but Olive is definitely female.

If we're going to believe/assume they can break the rules and fly, doncha suspect we can assume they can keep their antlers as long as they want? :)

Poor old Rudolph.... Santa is led by a woman. Whats the old saying " a happy reindeer makes for a happy Santa ".

Identifying as a different sex seems to be the latest thing... don’t understand it myself. Actually, maybe reindeers started it. They were the 1st I heard of to identify as a different sex.

Maybe someone is putting too much thought into this.

A male is a male, a female is a female. There is a no in between.
Unfortunately there are people born with both male and female genitalia. Previously, at birth, the doctor would choose the gender- nearly always female, and proceed surgically, often with tragic results later on.
Today, in some cases the parent chooses at birth, and other times let’s it go until the child shows a clear preference. Often, the chromosomes are just as confusing with some XX and some Xy- so no help there.
Being a human can be confusing at times.

Com'on Man! They identify as males, so they are males. You got a problem with that?

Yes, hermaphroditism. Thanks for reminding me. Am I misremembering, or is there a Mexican town where this happens more often than elsewhere?

Yes, actually just a little tidbit of unknown facts that one could prob. do 100 pages of drivel going off in all directions.... Still, kind of a timely subject...
