uh okay so apparently there's been this new thing going on
"don't assume your pet's gender!!! that's just as bad as misgendering a human!"
nope.
No.
Let me explain why this is bullshit.
Animals don't have the same concept of gender as humans.
They don't have colors assigned to each other to make the difference (I'm talking about that 'pink is for girls and blue is for boys' bullshit).
Nor do they assign roles to genders or stereotype anything.
Animals, let's see...just take things the scientific way, that a female and male make a baby, and that's it.
