They're There, They're Their
No need to gender the hypothetical Bear
It does not exist, It is not aware
We can be more inclusive by referring to them as Their
A non-binary bear is just as good an example
and will have just as good of a parasitic sample
They're even just as good for a campsite trample
But don't run away and twist your ankle
I hope that this poem isn't too much to bear
but language is a powerful tool, we should use with flair
And mindful we should be, with our air
I hope I have not spoken in err
(Thank you for reading. I enjoy your videos Crash Course but it was a bit striking how much the host had to refer to the Hypothetical Bears gender in that short clip. In any scientific presentations I've given, I typically strive to refer to subjects in a bit different of a style and only include gender if it is of direct relation to to the topic at hand. In this use case I do not see a need to gender a bear to express parasites relations to North American Black Bears. Had the Reproductive system been involved then maybe. In this case each Parasite could have been found in any North American Black Bear, regardless of gender. I understand that not all may agree with this assessment but hope this has been insightful and can create a positive dialogue)

I kept thinking crash course zoology had already spoken about symbiotic animal pairings. Episode four. I looked at the previous episodes an there it was while crash course was speaking about meals, digestion and how animals obtain nutrients. Certain parasites kill their hosts simply consuming their host until death occures. While other parasites maintain the life of their host as being their meal tickets.

Eugh, the actual sound of a wasp's wings being used here is not nice. I've taken to blasting mint essential oil in a diffuser frequently in order to keep them out of my room and I'm entirely too tuned into that sound. DX

I always thought symbiosis meant both parties benefit, and was not a descriptor for parasitism, in which only one party benefits. Hmm.

I was waiting to see the bear slowly freakout as she went trough the list of parasites on and in him: What! Get out. Get out.

-And the bear herself. -
Can someone explain to a non native English speaker why the bear as treated as -her- not as -it-?
