Meet Tanya and Chloe. I encountered them on Bonaire Island in the Dutch Antilles. Very interesting pair. I think they were an item, whatever that means in the world of mermaids.
Not that it was in any way a problem for me. I have no LGBTQ+ issues.
Chloe tried to explain the way mermaids view the boy/girl thing we topsiders seem to be so pre-occupied with.
“You topsiders sure invest a lot of time and energy …”
Tanya interjected, “And money!”
“… yes, money too, in the whole male-female thing.”
I shrugged and probably looked puzzled. “It’s pretty fundamental for us.”
She swiveled the stool she was sitting in to face me, then stretched her body out. “What do you see? Can you tell if I’m male or female?”
“You have breasts.”
“So do sumo wrestlers. What about down below?”
She was right, of course. No obvious signs one way or other.
“And if you were to meet all two million or so of us, that’s what you’d see.”
“There’s two million mermaids in the world?”
“Give or take ten thousand or so. No one knows for sure. The oceans are enormous!”
“You’re really blowing my mind!”
Admittedly, that was a gross understatement. Every time I met a mermaid, my mind was getting blown. I’m surprised I can think at all.
