    You lost me at “females” Kirk. Talking like they’re science specimens.

      Isn’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?

        Well 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?
