...because female T-Rexes are larger than male T-Rexes Just how was that determined. There is no evidence of even what color T-rex were or what they sounded like. They could have been bright blue and chirped.

The Police Blotter for my little suburb of Seattle has begun to use "them-they-their" instead of "he-his" or "she-her" when referring to suspects.
Most of the time the cops are dealing with individuals, but they now use third person plural pronouns to refer to one person.
I wrote to my local neighborhood newspaper and suggested they refer to suspects as "it" or "AHLF" (alleged human life form).

If they want Sue to be gender neutral they should rename it Chris or Pat.

Tyrannosaurus has a masculine Latin ending. So does uterus.

Johnny Cash has a finger for those who would call a T Rex "Sue"
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said:"My name is 'Sue!'
How do you do!
"Now you're going to die!!

They/their/them is abominable English and is just plain stupid. I refuse to refer to any single person, or animal, with plural pronouns.
How about “it”? For pets, farm animals, and other birds and animals whose sex we can identify, we usually use he/she. If I see a pair of cardinals, or a pair of guppies I know which one is which and use masculine or feminine pronouns. But I can’t tell the sex of Canada geese or Kissing Gouramis by sight, so an individual I refer to as “it.”
I think a dinosaur fossil would be an “it”, too, but they named it Sue and should expect people would use feminine language about it. But there is no good reason to impose terms of human sexual confusion on a dinosaur.

Rename it Michelle and list gender as undecided.

So, if sex is unknown something automatically goes to gender neutral?
Actually, for proper grammar, unknown sex of the object defaults to the masculine gender. You only use neuter for objects that don't have a sex.

"Sue," Field Museum's Tyrannosaurus Rex - one of the most complete and largest T-Rex Skeletons ever discovered "Sue" is another fraud, a half assed skeleton built around a skull that looks pretty good, the rest is man made. Nice ribcage BTW. "Sue" is a Tranny Rex now.

Heather MacDonald and others have been warning for some time now that these SJW loons have invested even the “hard sciences” in universities, and now we’re seeing that the scientific community is now adopting a Monty Python bit from “The Life of Brian” as legitimate and “reality.”

It ends with the perfect quote... “It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality!”
