Apparently, using certain words is offensive to the deep thinkers that want to completely remove gender specific terms because these terms enforce the biological FACT that sex is binary & heterosexuality is the normal state in nature.
It sure would be fun to go to a meeting with these "scientists" & gender them accurately according to biology.
And to use other un-PC terms that are in fact correct just to watch their heads explode.
There is a helpful link here for people like me who don't mind taking the time to help them find offensive terms, give them new names & your reasoning behind the changes requested.
I gave them 3 new suggestions for change myself:
1) gay marriage to butt buddies/scissor sisters
2) non-binary to delusional/deranged
3) progressive to regressive
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.

Science needs to stop using terms like male, female, mother and father, researchers say
“Male” and “female” should be swapped with “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing” in science, according to the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Language Project.
