Alternatives to terms like “male” and “female” and “mother” and “father” should be sought in science because they assume that sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm, a group of researchers from the US and Canada suggests.
Male and female should instead be referred to as “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing,” the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project said, according to the Times of London.
Meanwhile, father and mother should be labeled “parent,” “egg donor” and “sperm donor” in the scientific field.
The group has called on the scientific field to use words that are more “inclusive and precise,” according to a press release from the University of British Columbia, which has three researchers part of the initiative.
“Much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, and these power structures continue to permeate our scientific culture,” some project members wrote in the Trends in Ecology and Evolution journal.
UBC assistant professor Dr. Kaitlyn Gaynor said the undertaking began from a Twitter conversation between a few people about terminology that is potentially harmful.
“We reached out to different networks in ecology and evolution that were focused on increasing inclusion and equity in the field to rally support for one very specific action —revising terminology that might be harmful to certain people, particularly those from groups historically and currently excluded from science,” she said according to the press release.

Might as well remove Spring, Autumn, Winter and Summer. These probably as well as all constructs of the mind. Also Seedtime and Harvest.. is probably NOT scientific. Maybe we could change the calendar back to something that hasn’t a CHRISTIAN implant, like A.D, and B.C....something Chinese. Let’s do it ALL, and not allow anyone to have an identity. Create a total non binary world. Water no longer freezes at 32 degrees farenheit at sea level might be hard, but Biden’s Administration probably will say this as well is racist. It is the Northern European Countries that first started this. Africa never did think much about it.
The definition of "sperm-producing" IS MALE!
The definition of "egg-producing" IS FEMALE!
It's just a shorter way of saying those same things.
I wish these guys would quit fooling around and tackle something serious, like the wording in physics.
In physics, to accelerate an object a force must be applied. But “force” is a very harsh word, and well could trigger unpleasant memories. “The police forced me out of the car.” “The police used unnecessary force.”
Therefore, replace the word force with something less triggering. Perhaps “acceleration doer” would work.
Imagine going into a ACE hardware store and asking for a ‘Sperm producing connector’ for your toaster.................
We have reached such a point of cultural and social sickness, I am beginning to wonder not so much if Western civilization will survive, but whether it deserves to survive.
“Science went off the rails back in the 1970’s...”
It may have started going off the rails in the 70’s but 50 years later it’s become the flaming black mushroom cloud of toxic death seen in Palestine Ohio.
“because they assume that sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm”
Any researcher/scientist thinking like this should be disgracefully removed from the profession.
Researcher = Radical Communist.
Your attitude has been noted, Comrade!
Disband (and if we were in different times, execute) the members of the “Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project”. Problem solved.
To these scientists...go to hell....We know what you’re doing and you are NOT scientists. They’re making the case that God has created science and his science can never change even if these people deny God, it does not make what they’re stating, right.
Romans 1
7.5 million pounds of gentle persuasion?
As was done routinely in the past,
shame the reprobate gainsayers into
submission.
These idiots have it all wrong and they are offending me! Women can be sperm donors and men can be egg donors!
Where is their wokeness? Sheesh!
“Science needs to stop hiring psychologically unbalanced researchers,” say taxpayers who fund studies.
Years ago, these mentally ill people
would be identified and treated or hospitalized.
TIME TO GO BACK, is it not?
The day is gone when education meant wisdom. Today it is devotion to the cult.
Go to hell “researchers”.
The Gibberish people want Gibberish
“sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm”
Facts are stubborn things.
