First Pluto, and now this. Are they going to say Protons aren’t subatomic particles now?

They still are, but there's a paper still in press regarding the discover of amateurons. They are the same size, but they aren't as good at staying in the nucleus.

But what if they want to identify as non-binary, MEG-Atomic particles? Shouldn’t we let them? Maybe protons should be allowed to self-identify as a Uranium Atom… that would be exciting. Why couldn’t it be all that it wants to be??? Why limit it to being a proton. Perhaps it REALLY wants to be an anti-proton…. Or just an antitron? Damn, these Old, White supremacists Physicsts, forcing oppressed particles into circles they don’t want to occupy!

They’re no longer subatomic particles. They are dwarf subatomic particles.
