Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You can apply that to pretty much any categorization we make for the natural world.
The natural world doesn't care for our categorizations or social construct. It can, and will, make shit that just does not fit to any of our boxes, and like it!
Man: mammals have live births and give milk through breasts (technically mammary glands, though most expect nipples)
World: have you met my friend the platypus?
Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god's fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes
Also OWACA's fight against... incompetent villians?
It's a cooking term, not a biology term.
In cooking, tomatoes are vegetables. Biologically, they're fruit. In cooking, they're not fruit.
Not nearly as much as you seem to think. "Anything can be anything" is a common line by people who don't know anything. "Autism is an infinite spectrum. Everyone's a little bit autistic!" "Everything that looks similar in some ways to a game that's been called an 'RPG' is an RPG!" Assumptions and infinite inclusions come more easily than actual knowledge and categorizations.
I was referring more to how there's an exception to every rule in, for example, biology (and other things in nature).
You mentioned autism, which by itself is an exception to the rule of how we think humans beings "should" be and act. And autistic people have long been tried to be forcefully put into the societally constructed boxes we made for ourselves, instead of accepting that some people are different and that it's ok.
Or how left handed people exist. Or how intersex is a thing. Or the myriad of medical conditions which, while not harmful, make people different, like situs inversus.
And that's just for humans. In nature you got everything from viruses which is debatable whether it can even be categorized as life, to platypuses, to fungi that have tens of thousands of different sexes. And this list is near endless.
