Staff have decided not to describe the Gentoo penguin as male or female because they say gender is more of a human construct. Expert Aquarists say it would be normal for it to grow up as genderless in the wild as male and female penguins look almost the same until they mature and reach adulthood. The four-month-old chick is yet to be named and will be identified with its own purple band. The chick has been adopted by a same-sex penguin couple Rocky and Marama at the aquarium after they showed they were ready to look after an egg of their own. The egg was one of two born to the birth mother and staff thought it as better to move the egg to relieve her of the pressure of raising two chicks.

Such a wise decision, the penguin patriarchy is a real threat, who are we to assign gender roles to penguins? They should let the penguin decide on its own gender when it is old enough.

Looks like Sky news has interviewed a representative and she's given a really coherent explanation of why they've done this:

It's a story because sensitive right-wing types can't tell when they are being exploited, and go and share these links around the internet and bring the advertising dollars in.

If you think it is only right wing types sharing these stories and laughing at this stuff then you ought to look again at the likes of twitter etc.. there are plenty of left wing and centrist figures openly mocking this "woke" stuff.
