“Their calculations are based on the unusual orbital behaviour of very distant space rocks called extreme trans-Neptunian objects, or ETNOs.”

If they are indeed trans-Neptunian, it would be discriminatory to deny them the same planetary status afforded to cis-gendered planets. The stated ‘unusual behavior’ would also be fitting. (deliberately refraining from “Uranus” joke here)

....it would be discriminatory to deny them the same planetary status afforded to cis-gendered planets....

It would also be discriminatory to deny the residents of the new planets "Diesel" and "Reggie Love" the benefits of Obamacare and to deny them protection against Global Warming.

in re refraining from “Uranus” joke ....
today's sensitive young FReepers are trained to say "YOOR-eniss," not "yoor-ANUS." which apparently can cause severe itching among the scientific end of the LGBT community.

This sort of thoughtful sensitivity is especially important now that we have an ETNO as POTUS.
