What’s in a meme? Well this one seems to have something to say about pronouns and biology. But your mileage may vary.

A meme with the text ‘Pronouns in Bio. What will they learn.’ Pronouns ‘he/him’, ‘she/they’, ‘they/them’ and ‘she/her’ appear to be sitting behind desks in a science lab/classroom.

When I first saw this meme on a Discord server, I asked the person who posted it to explain it like I’m five. They hadn’t created the meme themselves, but I thought they might be able to offer some hints about how to interpret it.
