#584664 — Follow the science!

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02/14/words-male-female-should-banned-science-enforce-idea-sex-binary/

| The words “male” and “female” should be phased out in science because
| they reinforce ideas that sex is binary, scientists have suggested.
|
| Researchers studying ecology and evolutionary biology should be
| encouraged to use terms such as “sperm-producing” or “egg producing”
| or “XY/XX individual” to avoid “emphasising hetero-normative views”,
| experts say.
|
| Other words and terms deemed problematic include man, woman, mother,
| father, primitive, advanced, alien, invasive, exotic, non-native and
| race.
|
| The terms were gathered as part of the EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary
| Biology) Language Project, founded by a collaboration of scientists in
| the US and Canada who claim some terminology is not inclusive, and
| could be harmful.
|
| Even one of the most famous scientific concepts of all time, the
| “survival of the fittest”, should no longer be used because it
| discriminates against people with disabilities and is linked to
| eugenics, they advise.

Mein Vorschlag dazu: 25 auf die nackten Fußsohlen. Nackt darf man doch
noch sagen?
