In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.
Lmao
Actually more inclusive terminology lol
Honestly just write “mice”, there’s no need to specify male and female if you’re working on both, unless there’s a third secret type of mice you unlock by beating the game with Blanka or something.
I think the male is a bit hostile and problematic too. It should be non-male and non-female
Can’t use the word female in any context so it would have to be non-male and non-non-male.
I prefer “those who is” and “those who ain’t.” Binary and inclusive.
Is you is, or is you ain’t my baby.
Just strip the distinction at this point.
