In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

I think the male is a bit hostile and problematic too. It should be non-male and non-female

Can't use the word female in any context so it would have to be non-male and non-non-male.

I prefer "those who is" and "those who ain't." Binary and inclusive.
