IIRC during the Carter years the US tried to switch to the metric system and that failed quickly. I suspect this will be the same situation.

Science needs to ban people like this from its ranks. These are not scientists, they are rabid, anti-science, ideologues.

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?

"Science needs to stop using terms like male, female, mother and father, researchers say"

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.

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.

Male and female should instead be referred to as “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing,”

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.

So when can we drag these people out into the street and beat them within an inch of their lives?

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

It is and it is.

Reality does not care what you think.

“Much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, and these power structures continue to permeate our scientific culture,”

So, black and brown people don't have males and females? I'm not following.

We need to stop using terms like “science”.

They are all witch doctors now.

I'm sure these "researchers" would be the first to order scientists to drink the Hemlock Soup for corrupting the minds of minors with their heresy.

...a "group of researchers" from the US and Canada suggests...

UN-named? Anonymous sources? Truth is it's the brain-dead 'journalist' one desk over who's looking into the issue.
