Yeah, well in personal circumstances , and you can take someones preferred pronoun into account. But why would you be offended in general texts where the gender doesn't even matter.
Can you give an example of gender being put into texts where it doesn’t matter? Or are you just buying the talking points of an administration that has no qualms deleting women’s health data and osha regulations wholesale?
Well if you have a vagina, and you have a period every month, and you need to take care of that in a hygenic way, it doesn't matter as what gender you identify, the vagina doesn't care.
And that’s exactly the kind of gender inclusive language they are purging. Because this executive order attempts to define a person with a vagina as a women and only a women.
Yes and what does that matter? If you have a vagina and you identity as a whatever, the article is still true for you. The medical advice doesn't matter what you identity yourself as. The information is about the specific organs. It doesn't matter what you identify yourself as. It shouldn't matter. It's weird that people think that these articles need to be adjusted for DEI. They are about the body, not about the mind.
And in the end, it's correct that this information is meant for the biological woman, and not the biological man. So it would just become confusing if you say it also applies to men. Because biological men don't have a vagina.
If you are a woman that identifies as a man, then you will know that you are biologically a woman, and that the medical advice for woman applies to you.
Well. We’ve come full circle. If you want to go back to the comment where i said “When trying to communicate information to people, it’s best to meet them where they’re at.” And then you can have the conversation as many time as you like.
Fundamentally, what is happening is not removing inclusive language. It’s removing useful documents because they contain words that are not allowed to be spoken anymore. Setting aside your feelings about binary gender - imagine this was about some cultural group: goths or birders or whatever. Would it not be concerning that the gov was trying to eliminate any acknowledgement that birders exist?
A page with advice for lgbtq travelers had “LGBTQ” changed to “LGB”. That’s not removing references to gender that had been forced in to be inclusive. That’s trying to erase actual people from the official record. Not wanting them to exist. If that doesn’t alarm you, idk what would.
