@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson Science Fact: The magic reindeer use to fly is located in the balls and ovaries. A castrated reindeer cannot fly.

@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson People here act like this is some big revelation while taking their dogs to be neutered.

@zxq9_notits @TheDude_Abided @neiltyson Um, well... ever heard of geldings? Yep. It's a thing.

@zxq9_notits

@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson Now don't you go into any actual draft animal realities here... before long you're going to start telling me that they cut the balls off horses to make them easier to manage...

@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson @msanjayan @neiltyson et al., here’s a clip for those who may not have time to watch a complete episode.

@aleciabatson

@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson @neiltyson and according to this fascinating episode of Earth A New Wild with @msanjayan, a common historic practice to castrate reindeer is using the human mouth and teeth.

@TheDude_Abided @neiltyson Then there wouldn't have been the reindeer marriages and baby reindeer we see in the animated show. Last time I checked castrated males can't make babies.

Santa doesn’t know Zoology:

Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers. But all male Reindeer lose their antlers in the late fall, well-before Christmas.

So Santa’s reindeer, which all sport antlers, are therefore all female, which means Rudolf has been misgendered.
