Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History is home to some of the world's most treasured artifacts - mummies, rare gemstones, the taxidermied corpses of a pair of man-eating lions - and now one huge, gender, neutral dinosaur.
According to ARC Digital, "Sue," Field Museum's Tyrannosaurus Rex - one of the most complete and largest T-Rex Skeletons ever discovered - is working on becoming a gender-neutral icon by adopting gender-neutral pronouns in her new private exhibit on the museum's second floor.
Sue is, not, in fact, gender neutral or gender fluid. The T-Rex skeleton, discovered in South Dakota in the 1990s was either male or female. The scientists who discovered Sue believed the skeleton belonged to a female because female T-Rexes are larger than male T-Rexes and Sue was one of the largest dinosaur skeletons ever found...
But back in March 2017, Arc Digital reports the museum decided to have a little fun, and in response to a question lobbed during a Twitter Q&A, Sue clamied that she was "gender neutral" because her sex was unknown, and that she preferred the pronouns they/their/them.

Just how was that determined. There is no evidence of even what color T-rex were or what they sounded like. They could have been bright blue and chirped.
A gay mayor and a Megasoreass
Female carnivores had widerpelvises
Yep. Michelle Obama is proof of that.
Chiraq has nothing of interest .
Same goes for Detroit.
Most of the time the cops are dealing with individuals, but they now use third person plural pronouns to refer to one person.
I wrote to my local neighborhood newspaper and suggested they refer to suspects as "it" or "AHLF" (alleged human life form).
If they want Sue to be gender neutral they should rename it Chris or Pat.
Democrats are scum.
...and what if you don’t? Do they kick you out of the museum? This whole country has gone nuckin’ futs.
They/their/them is abominable English and is just plain stupid. I refuse to refer to any single person, or animal, with plural pronouns.
How about “it”? For pets, farm animals, and other birds and animals whose sex we can identify, we usually use he/she. If I see a pair of cardinals, or a pair of guppies I know which one is which and use masculine or feminine pronouns. But I can’t tell the sex of Canada geese or Kissing Gouramis by sight, so an individual I refer to as “it.”
I think a dinosaur fossil would be an “it”, too, but they named it Sue and should expect people would use feminine language about it. But there is no good reason to impose terms of human sexual confusion on a dinosaur.
Rename it Michelle and list gender as undecided.
When will this insanity end?
Pretty sure T. rex laid eggs.
"Sue" is another fraud, a half assed skeleton built around a skull that looks pretty good, the rest is man made. Nice ribcage BTW. "Sue" is a Tranny Rex now.
Heather MacDonald and others have been warning for some time now that these SJW loons have invested even the “hard sciences” in universities, and now we’re seeing that the scientific community is now adopting a Monty Python bit from “The Life of Brian” as legitimate and “reality.”

It ends with the perfect quote... “It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality!”
