About whether it’s a “scientific fact” that we have “gay worms” in the backyard: It is well known that earthworms are hermaphroditic
That is, they can function as either male or female.
So can common mollusks, like the slipper shells we find at the beach.
Sexual ambiguity is not contrary to nature. It happens a lot.
