When I took printmaking in college, I studied transgenderdism as a theme and learned that within communities of clownfish there exists a large breeding female, a small breeding male, and a large group of smaller non-breeding males. If for any reason the female dies or leaves, the breeding male transitions into the role of breeding female, and one of the smaller males transitions into the role of breeding male. In all cases of gender changes in the animal kingdom, this is one of the most interesting, because it is one in which not all members of the communtiy consistantly posess the potential for change.
I have therefor selected an image of Clownfish for the heading image of my TRANsition posts.

I like it. I remember that class. you had some cool projects with the clownfish theme. I would have liked to see you doing more with it. But of coarse it was Printmaking, land of give up on all your sanity and dreams
