Scientists propose phasing out terms ‘male’ and ‘female’
American Thinker ^ | 22 Feb, 2023 | Eric Utter

Certain American and Canadian scientists have officially proposed that the scientific community phase out the musty old terms “male" and "female” from scientific language in order to avoid any appearance of “emphasizing hetero-normative views.” Instead, these “experts” want terms such as “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing” to be employed, as they say they’re more inclusive. They also approved the use of “XY individual” or “XX individual” as tolerable alternatives.

Moreover, these ass-hats scientists contend that the terms “man,” “woman,” “father,” and “mother” are “problematic,” as are those such as “primitive,” “advanced,” and “non-native.”

Something called the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Language Project put out the new scientific language guidance. The EEBLP is an initiative “founded by a collaboration of scientists in the US and Canada who claim some terminology is not inclusive, and could be harmful,” according to the U.K. Telegraph.

The Project was apparently conceived in February’s edition of the scientific journal “Trends in Ecology and Evolution.” (Check out this month’s centerfold! Want a subscription? Operators are standing by!) According to the Project’s so-called scientists, hateful terms like “male” and “female,” et. al., “are used to reinforce societally-imposed ideas of a sex binary.” Isn’t society silly, thinking for millennia that the human race is comprised of males and females? Well, now we know better.

In seriousness, individuals and societies are diminished, not elevated, when people are referred to by their biological functions.

The term ‘scientist’ needs to be phased out too because the new meaning (a pompous fool) lacks weight...

Can we just phase out “scientists”for piece of mind?

All my life I have been stigmatized by being referred to and thought of as a male.

For example, I often find myself surrounded by non-binary physically weaker birthing humans and so when there is something heavy to be lifted, I am immediately stereotyped as the non-binary, non-birthing person most suited to lift the thing on account of my perceived masculine qualities.

Now at last, when there is something heavy to be lifted, I will be able to flutter my hands helplessly like my non-binary birthing counterparts and gaze about for a non-binary non-birthing human better suited to do the deed. For I am now a non-binary BIRTHING person now, because I proclaim myself to be so, and have rejected all pretenses of having evil masculine properties. In fact, I am in the middle of my non-binary menstrual cycle so therefore I am doubly unsuited to lift the heavy thing.

Americans propose phasing out the terms scientists and doctors, instead using more generic terms like Shill’s and Propagandists...

You are truly oppressed in intersectional ways.

Not everyone are sperm-producing or egg-producing.
Are they suggesting that all post menopausal women and incidentally all transsexuals who had their original equipment removed are now "neither"?

I think somebody changed the meaning of “scientist” without our knowledge. Who gave them control over language?

How about just labeling everyone XX, XY, or in those rare cases, use whatever combination of XY they have?

I propose using “innie” “outtie” or “smooth”.
Because that is just as idiotic as these scientists ideas.

These people have no right to change the way I talk.
