Mozzies hate me for some reason, they avoid me all the time, like I could be the last choice for a starving mozzie and he'd still have to think about it.
Male mosquitoes don't bite. The blood is used to grow eggs by females. The females use she/it pronouns.
The females use she/it pronouns.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think mosquitos have the concept of language.
That's very innovative of her, however, has she considered that preserving the biodiversity of mosquitoes makes her a species traitor?
Humans do. And according to human rules on language, it's she and it. She if you're under the illusion that mosquitoes have gender identities. It if you want to be scientifically accurate. Certainly he would be misleading.
Like you've never corrected someone that misgendered an animal?
Though missexed is probably the more appropriate term I think.
I’ve never told anyone “hey my cat prefers they/them”, because my cat much like the mosquitos doesn’t have any such concept.
she/it
Because you, as an English speaking human, apply the default gender rules to their sex as a language norm.
It's not complicated. It's almost like you're being deliberately dense for some reason.
My original half joking comment was about mosquitos not having any concept of language. Somehow you’ve made that into an issue about people misgendering my cat, something which my cat does not care or even know about. If someone refers to my cat as the “wrong” pronouns, I don’t bother correcting them because, again, it’s a cat who has no interest in such things.
