Orcas have incredible social behaviors and trans generational culture. They have been subjected not only to hunting but kidnappings and the pollution of their environments and they know that humans are responsible.
This is not a startling new behavior, this is a revolution.
I mean this sincerely.

Their culture is as complex as human culture. I would not be shocked if there's trans Orcas. There's just not really a way to know.
What's cool though is that the portion of their brains associated with empathy is massive, so there's this question of how Orcas think about their pods, whether they have bounded egos. This further complicates gender: what does gender mean when you're just one component part of a multi sexed pod?

We should decipher orca language, that would be pretty rad
