  • To be perfectly fair, when the guy said the test was inconclusive, he was right… To a point.

    His failure was that he only did the test once and in one location, which just proves a hill/valley could be playing a factor in the results. To have true empirical results, the test would need to be done at multiple locations, each a random but sizable distance apart.

    The scientific method relies on repeatability and reliability in data to provide proof to anything and he wasn’t really using either.

    I tend to defer from using those when I can just use the person’s name or the ungendered pronouns. To me, when I see those besides someone’s name, it just means that they don’t want to be labeled as any gender.

    Though, on that note. I honestly never really understood the purpose of people using zhey/zhem/zheir when they/them/their is already neutral.
