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.

The other part of the problem is her degree.
It's not "Biology". It's not even "Environmental Science". It's not a straight science degree at all.
It's "Environmental Science, Policy, and Management".
She's not a scientist, and she's not trained as a scientist. She is both by training and profession a woke bureaucrat masquerading as a scientist.
She's a damned PROFESSIONAL FRAUD!
Away with her! Pelt her with rocks and garbage!
Science needs to ban people like this from its ranks. These are not scientists, they are rabid, anti-science, ideologues.
We're way, way past that as our government, military, and educational leaders continue to sink into the hull-crushing depths of idiocracy.

That’s DOCTOR FRAUD to you, sir!.................
Who in the living Hell are the “Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project” and who is funding them?
Why have I never heard of them before?
Why should I give a rat’s ass what they say now?
Partially true. In most cases when they use "male" or "female," the grammatically correct noun would be "man" or "woman." Referring to men and women as males in females is pure wokeness.
Oh, P** off.
This was warned about many years ago. From President Eisenhower's farewell address:
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
More like insanity. We’re living in an asylum with the inmates in full control.
Every doctor form would need updating, It is also how they track heart, cancer diseases in the bloodline. At 74 I get to fill them out yearly.
Which means I saved my 55 yr old eldest from an unnessary Stent. Some stupid NPA said he needed. Low BS cause of the chest pain. Wake up call to go back to his Type 2 Diabetic diet. Removed the stress of managing a Fast Food place that can’t keep employees, who constantly job hop for who ever pays 50 cents more. Not jabbed, 1 bout of china flu, he treated.
I had a quad by-pass in April 2020 and a close friend had 4 stents put in.
I feel fine and go about normal life and walk 2-5 miles a week.
He is constantly having problems...................
Pretty sure that'd still be transphobic; they better check with the Alphabet people.
The researchers are correct regarding it being non-binary.
Excepting those incredibly rare individuals born with two sets of equipment, generally there are three:
1) Male
2) Female
3) Mentally ill
Arguably, #3 is a subset of #1 and #2, but it still fits.
The researchers in this case likely fall into category 3.
Have some compassion!
As a youngster she was repeatedly mentally scarred by those using diving boards claiming she was “less than”.
She is now a celebrated champion of fellow clueless persons and their fight to be righteously offended by the innocuous.
She deserves our support.
I know. And I pray for our nation to wake up and see the light. I am not afraid of the future because of Jesus, I fear for my fellow man. It will not be pretty.
Hog-tying her and riding her out of town on a rail (following a generous application of tar and feathers) does sort of qualify as "support".
Couch potato?
What made me so mad, no real test were run before this decision was made. Blood work, EKG was the most they did. Put him on the wrong meds for a Diabetic. He’s not worked since Oct. Stress down, normal BP. Taking care to eat his Diabetic diet. Big issue is the WORTHLESS METFORMIN! He was doing fine on Humalog. NO ins, so back to the crap Metformin.
Butchered by Healthcare by Robert Yoho $5 kindle. Pharma’s graft, lies, government’s bribes.
So when can we drag these people out into the street and beat them within an inch of their lives?
