minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoIsn’t this the natural progression of they’re gonna get hounded about sex and gender being different? I can imagine the sentiment might be “ok, we’ll start referring to sex specifically.” And why shouldn’t they if that’s what they mean?
minus-squarebitwolf@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoWell in that case using just “female” is ambiguous. Are they banning female horses from breeding also? All female animals? When speaking publicly I imagine someone would think about possible misinterpretations. Wouldn’t using “Woman” fare better?
