You are probably asking yourself how on earth a weather pattern can switch genders.

Well, the easy answer is that gender (masculine, feminine, etc…) is socially constructed identities rather than the biological sex designations of male, female or intersex. We apply our socially constructed notions of gender to inanimate objects, animals and people. So, why not weather?

We are talking about the El Niño and La Niña phenomena. The Spanish names for these weather patterns indicate the masculine through the name El Niño while the name La Niña indicates the feminine.

Scientists have confirmed that El Niño is switching over to La Niña.

We've not progressed much since the days of ancient Romans, Greeks and other cultures who personified the things around them they couldn't explain.

Most of the personifications manifested as gods and other deities.

Now people are applying gender theory to them?

It's like writing a paper on the reason your cat won't talk to you for psych class.
