LOL NOTHING MATTERS.
From Sky News:
An adopted Gentoo chick raised by a same-sex penguin couple will become the world’s first penguin to not have its gender assigned.
At 6.40 am we will be speaking Charlotte Barcas, a Aquarist at the London Aquarium who looks after the penguin #Sunrise pic.twitter.com/tnD7GIwlti

They’re not even going to give it a name:
A same-sex penguin couple will raise an adopted "genderless" chick for the first time, a London aquarium has announced. The 4-month-old Gentoo penguin chick will not be named or characterized as male or female, Sea Life London said. https://t.co/G5QBOl3i3h

What a “stunning and brave” move by officials at the aquarium:

Hopefully the penguin has one of those gender-reveal parties. Perhaps an exploding fish with either pink or blue dyed innards?

How does it tell us what gender it has picked? https://t.co/4zryXMVyal

Also, the aquarium is making some pretty big assumptions as to the sexuality of the adoptive parents:
I mean, if you go this route, why are we assuming the parents' genders? They could be straight. https://t.co/TAXKTOsYEV
