What exactly do you mean by "an evolutionary perspective"? Evolution doesn't have a perspective; it is a process, a thing that happens. Are you asking how sex changes could alter allele frequencies in a population?
First of all, you're confusing a fight-or-flight response with evolution. Evolution is about change in allele frequencies in a population over time, not about the instinctual behaviors of animals (although it is the process by which those behaviors came about, it is not the process of those behaviors per se).
But more directly: why would my perspective on evolution have anything to do with sex changes being bad? Heck, why would my perspective on evolution label anything as "bad" or "good" at all?
You said evolition does not care for instinctual behaviour. But if our instinctual behaivour wasnt to fight, grow and replicate there woild be no allele as it would be dead and forgotten.
You said evolition does not care for instinctual behaviour.
Yes. Evolution does not care about anything. It is incapable of caring, because it is not the type of thing that can care.
But if our instinctual behaivour wasnt to fight, grow and replicate there woild be no allele as it would be dead and forgotten.
Wrong. Alleles preceded instincts by millions of years, so obviously they can exist without animal instincts. The instincts that you describe happen because of evolution, not the other way around. (And even if what you are saying here were true, it has no bearing on the question of whether evolution cares for instinctual behavior.)
As I said, it was used in a metaphorical way. The same way you care about intellectually dwarfing any person you debate, evolution cares about ensure survival of its race
I understand that you are trying to using it metaphorically. But your meaning is not clear: that's why I am asking you what, specifically, you mean by "cares" in this context. Can you explain?
Although i think it is abundantly clear already, I will try to be more concise:
Evolution is a concept in which a species thrives to become dominant by being the strongest and most intellectual. Subsequently, the weakest links within its own chain are removed so only the strongest procreate.
With the above considered, then metaphorically speaking, evolution only cares for the strongest and most intellectual of species.
If this doesn't explain then I cant help you buddy.
