Science needs to stop using terms like male, female, mother and father, researchers say

來自美國和加拿大的一組研究人員建議，應該在科學中尋找“男性”、“女性”、“母親”和“父親”等術語的替代詞，因為他們假定了性別是二元的、異性戀是常態。

據倫敦時報報導，生態學和進化生物學 (EEB) 語言項目表示，男性和女性應該被稱為“產生精子者”和“產生卵子者”。

同時，父親和母親在科學界應該被貼上“父母”、“卵子捐贈者”和“精子捐贈者”的標籤。

Alternatives to terms like “male” and “female” and “mother” and “father” should be sought in science because they assume that sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm, a group of researchers from the US and Canada suggests.

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.
