Language is crazy. I'm always learning. This is the first time I realized what it means to "neuter" a dog.

  And neither a neutered male nor a spayed female are actually sexless--you still refer to them as "he" and "she". They are merely reproductively disabled. On a side note, I just learned that 'neutral' comes from the Latin word 'neuter' (meaning 'neither').

    i used to have a cat that i never gendered in speech. of course the cat didn't care, but hilariously some people would feel the need to ask directly about my cat's genitals
