Hey, comrades! I'm going toe-to-toe with a transphobic Actual Fascist on Reddit, and I'd like to drop some science on him.
There was something going around the queersci circles a while back about a lifeform that had seven sex-equivalents. I'm 99% sure that's what I read, but I can't turn it up. I don't think I have the science background to hit the right keywords.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about here? If not, do you know of any other real-world life that has more than two reproductive sexes, or some other kind of non-binary system that would fuck with this little Aryan troglodyte's mind? O:)

What kind of life form was it? Animal? Fungi? Plant?
I recommend Roughgarden's book Evolution's Rainbow, the chapter on animal genders/sexes. Not on Google Books, but maybe you can grab it in ebook form somewhere.
Humon Comics did a series called "Animal Lives" about animal genders/sexes.

@zebratron2084 Perhaps @pzmyers might have some insight.
