Scientists propose phasing out terms ‘male’ and ‘female’
American Thinker ^ | 22 Feb, 2023 | Eric Utter

Certain American and Canadian scientists have officially proposed that the scientific community phase out the musty old terms “male" and "female” from scientific language in order to avoid any appearance of “emphasizing hetero-normative views.” Instead, these “experts” want terms such as “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing” to be employed, as they say they’re more inclusive. They also approved the use of “XY individual” or “XX individual” as tolerable alternatives.

Moreover, these ass-hats scientists contend that the terms “man,” “woman,” “father,” and “mother” are “problematic,” as are those such as “primitive,” “advanced,” and “non-native.”

Something called the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Language Project put out the new scientific language guidance. The EEBLP is an initiative “founded by a collaboration of scientists in the US and Canada who claim some terminology is not inclusive, and could be harmful,” according to the U.K. Telegraph.

The Project was apparently conceived in February’s edition of the scientific journal “Trends in Ecology and Evolution.” (Check out this month’s centerfold! Want a subscription? Operators are standing by!) According to the Project’s so-called scientists, hateful terms like “male” and “female,” et. al., “are used to reinforce societally-imposed ideas of a sex binary.” Isn’t society silly, thinking for millennia that the human race is comprised of males and females? Well, now we know better.

In seriousness, individuals and societies are diminished, not elevated, when people are referred to by their biological functions.

There are no credible “scientists” proposing this, just political agitators

All of this absurdity just to avoid “offending” a handful of mentally ill people.

Instead of calling them “scientists,” let’s call them “idiots.”

“Scientists propose phasing out terms ‘male’ and ‘female’”

I thought it was the Babylon Bee.

They probably had a headline like that not long ago to lampoon the crazies.

Babylon Bee is no longer satire.

It’s prophecy.

Anybody who proposes that is not a scientist. Male and female are the proper terms.

What they’re not saying is that their major gripe is with that “Male and female He created them” thing.

There will need to be other changes made, based on this mindset.

Physicists can no longer speak of “daughter particles”.

And what about the “calving” of glaciers? Oh my God, it is outrageous, to think of the implications involved in various scientific terminology!

This is not common sh*thouse rat crazy, this is schizophrenia, separate personalities speaking out...

And none of them making sense. There is male, XY chromosomes, and female, XX chromosomes. There are no other genders. There are artificially produced neuters, in that the capability to reproduce is stripped away by surgery or hormone treatments, but there is no such thing as “gender-fluid”. No man has ever been transformed into a woman, and no woman has ever been transformed into a man, no matter how much fiction has been written on the subject.

It is rather strange how some notions will just take hold of a certain segment of the public, and how very hard it is to disabuse those of hardened opinions, regardless of plain fact staring them in the face.
