LOL!!! Literally....
I believe we now have an appropriately gender-neutral term for any living being who may or may not be subject to Title IX or any other federal regulations.

signed,
proud carbon-based life form who was born in Chicago, raised in Des Plaines, IL, and currently lives above the 49th parallel.
I am biologically a carbon based life form but I self-identify as a titanium-based life form.
