The "Really" File - (Gender Neutral Dinosaurs?)

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2:4

"SUE, a 40-foot long Tyrannosaurus rex whose fossil remains presided over the the Stanley Field Hall at Chicago’s Field
Museum from 2000 to 2018, has recently attained social justice enlightenment.
....the Field’s administrators have decided to distort scientific understanding in pursuit of a political goal, by demanding that people use only gender-neutral pronouns for this fossil.
The dinosaur skeleton “Sue” was either male or female. 
We just don’t know which. 

From the "Really" File
This purposeful misunderstanding has now made its way into her new exhibit.
In an interview with Them magazine, museum officials point out that Museum volunteers are asked to refer to Sue by her gender neutral pronouns, and that in Sue's online presence — mostly on Twitter — she is a "gender-neutral" persona.Non-binary dinosaur skeleton gender identity."Fulcrum7
