How did Splinter know he was raising boys?

[IndigoErth]

Really, gotta drag politics over here and try to smear people based on it...


How'd Splinter know? Was it specific little trivial things? Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds more like the Gen Z (or similar) tendency to try to define, explain, label, and categorize every little thing.

Not that us younger Xers and older/mid Millennials will ever understand the urge to do it. I suppose maybe it's the culmination of holding up individuality so high in society, maybe too high, then adding social media to the mix.

Sorry for asking. Which vote were you talking about

True. Gender, AI, Human stem cells on mice, Brain organoids, Housebots, Age reversals.
The underlying reason for creating this topic was positive representation for female (50%) or other-than-male characters in a male-centered shows/lores/media/toys.
We also need fair amount of representation, chance for women in Medical Literature and Studies.

Plenty things has changd since 2000 and early 2010s, you can now search for answers at home on Interent, youtube and ChatGPT. Anything from how to dress well to how to plan and have safer steps for parenthood.

Honestly, it's a miracle that Splinter didn't just eat them when he still had the mind of a normal rat.

[IndigoErth]

Hahaha Oh no.

Turns out there really was a 5th turtle, but Splinter was full from that one and he and the other four had time to gain sentience.

Is OP AI...

Metalhead, Slash, Zack, April, Venus, Kirby or Umeko. They don't count.

Smb needs nutrients before questioning someone's gender. :/

A rat man should have been intimidating, surely he had a good heart before and/or during raising the tots.

What is happening...

[CyberCubed]

Time to head back to reddit!

[Stu_Padasso]

Oh jeez, not this sh-t again.

Once they mutated into anthropomorphic creatures, they would probably have certain humanoid characteristics.

It’s not hard to figure out.

They also wouldn’t spend all their time on Reddit. That would be a big clue.

[ticktack]

If they were half-reptiles they could develop pheromones or another exit after drinking stuff. After mutation and before puberty those 2 could have been some clues for knowing their correct gender.

You said:

Is there a specific turtle species that their gender can be immediately identified before puberty.

In most turtle species, identifying the gender before they reach sexual maturity is quite challenging. Unlike mammals, turtles don’t typically display external sexual dimorphism (visible differences between males and females) until they are fully or nearly mature.

However, in some species, such as*Red-Eared Sliders*(Trachemys scripta elegans), slight differences may appear in juveniles. Males may have slightly longer claws on their front feet than females, although this characteristic becomes much more pronounced in adulthood.

In general, for most species, physical gender markers like claw length, tail shape, and shell shape are reliable indicators but only develop closer to adulthood.

If they are still cold blodded, the sack part doesn't need to be outside as for humans (because the sex-cell needs to form in cooler surroundings).

Just fun fact. For all the male protagonists we knew in anime were vioced by women (Luffy, Goku, Naruto, Ash Ketchum and even Bart Simpson). Even a grown woman can make herself sound like a boy (that of a 15 year old boy voice).
There's difference on what you hear and what you think that person is and who they really are. Once I've heard a loud and intimidating female voice I thought she was very large and unstoppable person, turned out she was a small and slim bodied woman. Added, she was in a police station so I thought there was a serous reason the police didn't manage or dealt her.

Aha, take it easy. Like, approach this with a little humor.
