**Trans, Inter, Non-binary in nature**

The mallards in this puzzle all have a plumage that is a mixture of the colors of typical female and male ducks. They thus symbolize gender diversity.

Even in reality, mallards do not always look like typical female or male ducks. In their youth and outside the breeding season, drakes wear plumage that looks very similar to that of females. Older female ducks produce increased amounts of testosterone, which causes their plumage to gradually resemble that of the males. Intersex ducks probably exist just as they do among many other animal species.

Painting of two ducks showing characteristically male and female plumage. The female duck in front has light brown feathers. The male duck in the background has grey feathers and a green head.

Cis Ducks

For comparison to the ducks in the puzzle, here are two adult cis-endo ducks as they typically look during the breeding season.

Today he lives in Berlin, is an artist, and runs trans*fabel, a web shop with art and books on the topic Beyond the Binary Gender System. In his art, he reconstructs oil and acrylic paintings into digitally drawn animals that defy binary expectations.

Wie toll!

Ich hab sehr viel Freude an diesem Puzzle gehabt. Die feinen Federstrukturen der Enten und ihre durch phantasievolle Farbverteilung dargestellte geschlechtliche Vielfalt sind einfach super und außerdem hilfreich beim Zusammensetzen der Puzzleteile. Ich besorge mir demnächst auch mal Eure anderen Puzzles und kann nur sagen, weiter so!

Fabulous

It was great to watch these queer ducks come to life! I also love the way the ducks are coloured with details. Thanks for the wonderful puzzling experience! Will there be a second one?
