Regarding "fish" Old classification relied on "phenotype" characteristics. And yes lamprey, a shark or a cod has little in common genetically. But they still share some common traits that distinguishes them considerably from whales, sea lions and seals. I still think the term "fish" is useful, and modern classifications rely more on genetics so I would say that the argument is semi void.

I was going to say ‘how about bony fish?’, but then I checked and I am technically a bony fish (Osteichthyes).

The only land animals that aren't fish are animals with exoskeletons. Whales are fish just as much as you and me are. And we are fish :)

Transphobes 🤯 after reading this

Not even close to a transphobe and my mind is still blown at the fact of the nonexistence of fish.

One man opinion about fish is not a universal truth.
