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.

Should I let the dog go ahead and identify as such even though the dog cannot talk?
Possibly you are just bark disabled.
There is help out there.
Scratch twice if you can understand me...
” “this T Rex was found with another homo T-Rex and they both died due to AIDS T-Rex”..”
It’s been so obvious all this time! AIDS killed the dinosaurs! They were homo lounge lizards!
The nitwits who run this museum should be fired and banned from appearing in public during daylight .
so, do they kick you out of the museum if you call it a boy or a girl instead of an it? btw, doesn’t it HAVE to by a boy T-rex OR a girl T-rex, anyway? you know, otherwise the T-rexes couldn’t procreate?
I wonder, how much in the way of our tax dollars does this preachy museum get every year?
I wasn't talking grammatical gender, I was talking "sex". The "sex" of a "rex" is male. The "sex" of a "regina" is female.
"uterus" or "uterum" can be masculine or neuter in gender. "manus" (hand) may look masculine but has feminine gender and adjectives must agree (e.g. dextera -- right). But neither uteruses or hands are male or female.
Grammatical gender is a source of confusion, and has been exploited effectively by the social-reengineers on the left.
The t-rex “Sue” was not named because of its gender, but in honor of its discoverer, Sue Hendrickson. There was controversy about the discovery of the Sue t-Rex and Federal agents seized the fossil in 1992, alleging that Black Hills Institute of Geological Research and its employees took it from federal trust land. Sue was eventually sold to the Field Museum. The Black Hills Institute found a larger and more complete t-Rex fossil called Stan after its discoverer. Stan is on display at the BlackHills Institute in Hills City, South Dakota near Mt.Rushmore.
